This DTC indicates the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Brake Control Unit) detects an abnormal supply voltage to the left front wheel speed sensor — Atto 3

Braking System

This DTC indicates the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Brake Control Unit) detects an abnormal supply voltage to the left front wheel speed sensor.

Specifically, the ECU detects the sensor supply circuit voltage (typically 12V battery voltage or 5V reference voltage) falls outside the normal threshold range (e.g., below 9V, above 16V, or deviating from the standard value by more than ±0.5V), or detects an open circuit, short to ground, or short to power in the supply circuit.

This fault causes a missing or distorted left front wheel speed signal, triggering degradation protection in the ABS, ESC, and EPB systems.

It affects regenerative braking efficiency, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), and vehicle stability control functions.

In extreme cases, it may extend braking distance or cause the vehicle to pull to one side.

Causes
Likely Causes — Atto 3
  • 1Open circuit, wear, or short to ground in the left front wheel speed sensor wiring harness (especially at moving sections routed along the suspension control arm and fender liner).
  • 2A shorted or burnt-out internal coil in the wheel speed sensor body causes excessive supply current and pulls the voltage low.
  • 3IPB control unit internal power supply drive circuit fault (e.g., damaged MOSFET or LDO voltage regulator chip, or cold solder joint)
  • 4Wiring harness connector (located near the left front wheel hub or engine compartment firewall) is loose, has backed-out terminals, or has oxidation from water ingress, causing excessive contact resistance.
  • 5Poor body ground circuit (corroded or loose ground point G101), causing abnormal reference potential in the power supply circuit.
What To Do
  • 1
    Read complete fault codes and freeze frame data using the VDS2000/VDS3000 diagnostic tool. Check for accompanying codes C003108 (signal fault) or C003204 (circuit fault). Record the vehicle speed and ambient temperature at the time of the fault.
  • 2
    Raise the vehicle. Visually inspect the condition of the left front wheel speed sensor connector (located near the shock absorber or brake hose bracket). Check the pins for corrosion, backing out, or water ingress. Test the connector sealing.
  • 3
    Disconnect the left front wheel speed sensor connector (usually 2-wire: power+ and signal/ground). Turn the ignition switch to ON. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between the harness-side power supply pin and ground. Normal voltage is battery voltage (12V ± 0.5V). If equipped with a 5V sensor, normal voltage is 5V ± 0.25V.
  • 4
    If the voltage is abnormal (0 V, below 9 V, or above 16 V), check harness continuity along the wiring route. Inspect the harness sheath for wear, particularly at the fender liner retaining clips and within the movement range of the upper and lower suspension control arms. Measure the resistance between the power wire and ground (should be >10 MΩ).
  • 5
    If the wiring harness voltage is normal, measure the sensor body resistance (normal range: 1.0kΩ-1.5kΩ at 20°C). If the resistance is <100Ω or >5kΩ, this indicates an internal short/open circuit. Replace the wheel speed sensor (typical part number SA-3630100 or corresponding model number). Apply an appropriate amount of grease during installation and tighten to the specified torque (8-12N·m).
  • 6
    If the sensor and wiring harness are normal but the IPB output terminal voltage is abnormal, disconnect the IPB module connector and measure continuity between the IPB power supply output terminal and the sensor connector. If continuity is normal but the output voltage is abnormal, the internal IPB power supply module is faulty. Replace the IPB integrated brake assembly, and bleed and calibrate the brake system according to the repair manual.
  • 7
    After completing the repair, clear the fault code and perform a road test: Drive in a straight line at speeds above 20 km/h. Read the four wheel speed sensor data streams using the diagnostic tool. Verify the left front wheel speed matches the other wheel speeds without fluctuation. Verify the ABS and ESC warning lights are off. Test the automatic emergency braking function for normal operation.

Chafed left front wheel speed sensor wiring harness caused intermittent power loss on the Song PLUS DM-i

✓
The ABS and ESC warning lights illuminated intermittently when the vehicle entered the workshop. The scan tool retrieved DTC C003200. Inspection found the left front wheel speed sensor connector intact; measured supply voltage fluctuating between 9-12V. Further inspection revealed the wiring harness had chafed through at the fender liner retaining clip, damaging the insulation and partially breaking the copper cores. Repaired the damaged section by soldering and heat-shrink sealing the joints, rerouted the harness and added anti-chafe sleeving. Fault resolved.

A Song Pro DM with 80,000 km had a recurring left front wheel speed sensor supply voltage fault. Replacing the sensor and harness made no difference. IPB output terminal X1-15 (left front wheel speed supply) measured 0 V while the other wheel speed sensor supply terminals showed 12 V. IPB power and ground were normal, pointing to a failed internal left front wheel speed supply driver MOSFET. Replaced the IPB assembly (part number EA-3535010), bled the brakes, calibrated the longitudinal acceleration sensor, and cleared the fault.

Water entered the connector after wading, causing corrosion and poor contact.

✓
After driving through water, the ABS warning light came on. Diagnosis showed DTC C003200. Inspection found visible water staining and verdigris corrosion inside the left front wheel speed sensor connector, causing high contact resistance at the power pin (measured 15Ω, normal <0.5Ω). Fix: Cleaned the connector with electronic contact cleaner, sanded the pins with fine sandpaper, applied conductive grease, and replaced the waterproof seal. Checked the other sensor connectors on the same side preventively, performed a bleed test, and cleared the fault.

P0A0DBattery Energy Control Module Requested MIL IlluminationP0AA6Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation FaultP1A00Drive Motor "A" Performance — BYD proprietaryB1108For the BYD Song MAX (2017–2019), DTC B1108 indicates a short circuit in the PM2.5 air quality detection module (dust sensor) or its wiring harness. The sensor uses laser scattering to detect in-cabin and outside PM2.5 concentrations and transmits data to the HVAC ECU via the LIN bus or an analog signal. Short circuit conditions include: 1) Sensor power supply wire (+5V/+12V) shorted to ground 2) Signal wire shorted to power or ground 3) Short circuit in the sensor's internal photoelectric detection circuit This fault prevents the automatic climate control from switching between fresh air and recirculation based on air quality. The system enters fail-safe mode (typically forced recirculation). Severe short-circuit current can destroy the HVAC ECU sampling circuit. The system classifies this as a Level 3 severe fault and restricts vehicle operation to prevent electrical fires or controller damage. For other BYD models (such as the Qin EV, E5, and Song DM), B1108 indicates a driver-side sunload sensor fault, reflecting differences in DTC definitions across models.B110811This DTC indicates a short circuit in the air conditioning system PM2.5 air quality sensor (rapid detector). Specifically, abnormal continuity exists between the sensor power supply circuit or signal output circuit and body ground or battery positive. This causes the control module (ACU/air conditioning controller) to detect abnormal current or a voltage signal outside the valid range (typically 0V or supply voltage). The PM2.5 sensor monitors internal and external particulate concentrations, providing the data the automatic air conditioning system uses to switch between fresh air and recirculation modes. A short circuit disables the air quality monitoring function. This fault may force the air conditioning system into recirculation protection mode and trigger related thermal management system faults, as the air conditioning system acts as a key actuator in vehicle thermal management. In severe cases, the short circuit current can damage the internal sampling circuit of the air conditioning controller or overheat the wiring harness.
