DTC B2A3314 indicates a short to ground or open circuit in the Front Left Corner Sensor signal circuit — Qin Plus

Thermal Management System

DTC B2A3314 indicates a short to ground or open circuit in the Front Left Corner Sensor signal circuit.

This fault code belongs to the Park Assist System (APA) / Around View Monitor (AVM) system, not the thermal management system.

The APA control module sets this fault when it detects the Front Left Corner Sensor signal voltage remains below 0.5V (short to ground) or above 4.5V (open circuit) for more than 500ms.

This fault causes front left obstacle detection failure, potentially triggering false park assist warnings or complete loss of function.

The system classifies this as a severe fault because it may affect Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) operation in extreme cases.

Causes
Likely Causes — Qin Plus
  • 1Open or short circuit in the radar sensor internal coil, typically resulting from physical impact, aging, or water ingress due to seal failure.
  • 2Harness wear or pinching causes a signal wire short to ground or open circuit. Common locations include where the front bumper harness passes through the wheel arch, side member, or front compartment firewall.
  • 3Loose sensor connector, corroded pins, or aged and failed sealing ring, especially common after water wading, vehicle washing, or exposure to high-humidity environments.
  • 4APA control module internal signal processing circuit fault; cannot correctly receive or interpret the left front radar signal.
  • 5Improper vehicle modifications (such as installing a dash cam, modifying the front bumper, or applying film) that cut or crush the wiring harness, or result in incorrect sensor installation.
What To Do
  • 1
    Use the BYD dedicated diagnostic tool VDS2000 to read fault codes. Confirm if B2A3314 is a current fault and check for related history fault codes (such as U024587 communication fault).
  • 2
    Visually inspect the left front radar sensor. Verify the probe surface is free of scratches or deformation, the installation gap meets the standard (0.5-1.0mm), and the bumper shows no signs of modification.
  • 3
    Disconnect the sensor connector. Measure the power supply pin voltage (should be 12V±0.5V), ground pin resistance (should be less than 1Ω), and signal wire-to-ground resistance (normally greater than 10kΩ; close to 0Ω if shorted).
  • 4
    Inspect the left front radar wiring harness routing. Focus on high-wear areas such as the inner wheel arch, front longitudinal beam, and below the A-pillar. Check for harness damage, chafing, or breaks.
  • 5
    Inspect the APA control module connector (usually located in the trunk or under the dashboard) for water ingress, corrosion, or loose connections.
  • 6
    Replace the faulty component based on the measurement results: for a sensor fault, replace the radar sensor (e.g., part number 5A-3600600); for a wiring harness fault, repair or replace the wiring harness; for a module fault, replace the APA control module.
  • 7
    After repair or replacement, clear the fault code. Use the diagnostic tool to perform the 'Parking Assistance System Configuration' and 'Radar Sensor Calibration' procedures. Verify the tool correctly writes the detection distance and angle parameters for all sensors.
  • 8
    Perform a road test to verify the radar responds normally during low-speed driving, the warning tone sounds when engaging reverse gear, and the center console radar display functions correctly. Confirm the fault code does not recur.

Tang DM-i parking system false alarms (broken wiring harness after accident)

✓
Symptoms: Left front radar continuously alarmed showing 0.3m distance while stationary (no obstacle present), with occasional false AEB triggering while driving. Instrument cluster displayed "Check Parking Assist System". Diagnosis: Dealership read DTCs B2A3314 and U024587 (APA module communication fault). Left front radar calibration failed. Measured the harness between the APA module and left front radar and found the signal line open. Disassembly found accident repairs had left the wiring harness inside the left front side member unsecured, allowing it to chafe against the body metal edge and break. Fix: Repaired the harness and added corrugated tubing for protection. Replaced the APA control module damaged by repeated short circuits. Performed system calibration and eliminated the fault.

Qin Plus DM-i radar fault after modification (physical damage to sensor)

✓
Symptoms: After the owner fitted an aftermarket front bumper, the dashboard displayed a 'Parking Assist System Fault' warning. When reversing, none of the parking sensors produced audible alerts. The diagnostic tool logged DTCs B2A3314 (left front) and B2A3414 (right front). Diagnosis: Inspecting the modified front bumper revealed the sensor mounting holes did not align with factory specifications. Over-tight installation had compressed and deformed the left front sensor; internal coil resistance measured infinite (internal open circuit), and the wiring harness plug was loose. Solution: Replaced the left and right front parking sensors. Reworked the front bumper mounting holes to ensure correct sensor fitment and clearance. Reconnected the plugs securely and performed system configuration and calibration.

Yuan Plus radar signal anomaly (software bug)

✓
Symptoms: One week after delivery, the left front radar occasionally emitted a continuous tone. The fault mainly occurred after high-temperature sun exposure. DTCs B2A3314 and B2A3311 (signal short to power) set, sometimes clearing after a restart. Diagnosis: The 4S shop inspected the wiring harness and found no abnormalities. Measuring the left front radar signal waveform against a normal vehicle revealed low amplitude and noise. Replacing the sensor did not resolve the fault. The APA control module was running outdated software (not the latest V2.3.5), which contained a signal processing bug. Resolution: Upgraded the APA control module software to the latest version and performed sensor calibration and learning. Monitored for one month in high-temperature conditions; the fault has not reoccurred.

Other Qin Plus Fault Codes
B1108For 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.B1109DTC B1109 indicates an open circuit in the communication line between the air conditioning system PM2.5 air quality sensor (dust concentration sensor) and the air conditioning control unit (AC ECU), or an open circuit within the sensor internal circuitry. Typically located in the air conditioning intake duct, this sensor monitors real-time PM2.5 particle concentration inside and outside the vehicle. It provides data to the automatic air conditioning system for intelligent switching between fresh air and recirculation modes and for controlling the air purification device. During an open circuit fault, the AC ECU cannot receive the air quality signal, triggering the system fail-safe mode. Symptoms typically include failure of the automatic recirculation function, abnormal air purification indicator light operation, or abnormal air quality data displayed on the air conditioning panel. Severe cases may compromise the cabin environment control strategy, but do not directly affect vehicle driving safety.B110913DTC B110913 indicates an open signal circuit for the PM2.5 rapid detector (in-cabin air quality sensor). This sensor typically mounts inside the air conditioning system intake duct. It monitors in-cabin PM2.5 concentration in real time and provides data to the automatic air conditioning system for intelligent control of the air purification function. The BYD diagnostic protocol uses sub-code '13' to specifically indicate an open signal circuit. Although this fault theoretically affects a comfort feature, BYD Qin series vehicles classify it as a Level 3 (severe) fault. This classification occurs because the air conditioning system interacts with the battery thermal management system (e.g., monitoring battery cooling intake air quality). The fault can disable the automatic air conditioning mode and prevent the air purification function from operating. In extreme cases, it affects the battery compartment intake air quality assessment, triggering the 'repair immediately' strategy.B110AThis DTC indicates interrupted CAN bus communication or abnormal data between the air conditioning control unit (ACU) and the PM2.5 air quality sensor. The PM2.5 sensor monitors particulate concentration inside and outside the vehicle and provides the basis for purification control in the automatic air conditioning system. The ACU triggers this fault if it fails to receive a valid CAN message from the sensor within the specified period (usually 100-500 ms), if message verification fails, or if the signal frame times out. Although this fault does not affect vehicle driving safety, it disables the automatic air purification function. The air conditioning system cannot automatically switch between recirculation and fresh air modes or activate the air purification mode based on air quality. A persistent fault may restrict the thermal management strategy.
