Default 2007 Tahoe - What should the voltage be??

I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe Lt 2 wheel drive. I have 2 codes which is a p2534 and a p0700.. the p2534 refers to a low voltage from the ignition switch. The p0700 refers to the TCM..
​​​​​​The p2534 came up first and with this the Tahoe would only give poor acceleration or acted like it was in a higher gear when putting your foot on the gas. So I when to the local parts store and purchased a ignition switch thinking this would resolve my issue. When I go the part and went to leave I noticed the light came back on quicker once I earsed the code. But then I noticed the shifting... The shifting was almost like the transmission didn't shift gears at all. So I rescanned the Tahoe and saw I need code pop up as well as the p2534 once I scanned it again sure enough 2 codes.. the p2534 and the p0700..
Everything I have read said that low voltage from can make both of these codes to appear. So after changing the ignition switch out and no change I am wondering where should my voltage be at? It has gone down as far as 13.87 but no higher then 14.2.. the alternator and battery are only a few months old and both check out good.. but I also know my Silverado gets close to 15 volts. I know a bad cell will not show up when testing the battery. But should I be showing better voltage then what I am getting?

IMO 13.87 volts at the battery is great, and so is 14.2 volts on the alternator. 15 volts is a bit high, but if that what it put out, so be it. How old is your battery and what kind is it? AGM?
