DTC C056364 indicates the ABS control module inside the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Brake System) detects an internal operating fault — Qin Plus

Braking System

DTC C056364 indicates the ABS control module inside the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Brake System) detects an internal operating fault.

The IPB is BYD's one-box brake-by-wire solution (such as the Bosch IPB or BYD in-house IPB), integrating ABS, ESC, regenerative braking, automatic emergency braking, and other functions.

Sub-code 64 usually indicates a control module internal self-test failure, involving a main control chip (MCU) fault, abnormal power supply voltage monitoring, internal memory (Flash/RAM) errors, a solenoid valve drive circuit fault, or a watchdog reset.

This fault causes ABS, ESC, TCS, AEB, and other functions to fail or enter degraded mode.

The instrument cluster illuminates the ABS and ESC warning lights, and the vehicle may limit power output.

The vehicle usually retains basic hydraulic braking (the brake pedal may feel hard).

The C056364 fault code on the Qin Plus indicates an internal operating fault in the IPB/ABS control module. Severity is medium because ABS, ESC, TCS, AEB, and related braking functions may be disabled or degraded, though basic hydraulic braking usually remains. Common causes include unstable 12V power or an internal IPB hardware failure from memory, chip, driver circuit, or corrosion issues. Visit an authorised dealer for diagnosis and repair. Typical repair cost data is available.

Causes
Likely Causes — Qin Plus
  • 1IPB module internal ECU power supply circuit fault: Unstable 12V constant power (B+) or ignition power (IGN) voltage, blown fuse, or poor relay contact causes the module supply voltage to drop below 9V or exceed 16V, triggering protection.
  • 2Internal hardware fault in the IPB electro-hydraulic module: damaged main control chip, corrupted internal memory data, overheated or burnt-out solenoid valve driver chip, PCB water ingress and corrosion (especially after car washing or wading).
  • 3Wiring harness and connector issues: Loose IPB module connector, backed-out terminals, oxidation from water ingress, or harness wear causing intermittent open or short circuits affecting power supply, ground, or CAN communication.
  • 4Ground system fault: Loose or oxidized IPB module ground wire connections (G101/G102, etc.) cause excessive ground resistance (>1Ω), resulting in reference voltage drift.
  • 5Software defect or calibration error: IPB control software version contains a bug or calibration data CRC check fails, resulting in module self-test failure.
What To Do
  • 1
    Diagnostic scan: Use VDS2000/3000 or Launch X431 to read complete fault codes, record freeze frame data, and check for accompanying U-class communication faults or power supply fault codes (e.g., C003F00, C004000). Analyze parameters such as vehicle speed and voltage at the time of the fault.
  • 2
    Power and ground check: Measure the voltage at IPB module connector Pin1 (constant power 30) and Pin2 (ignition power 15); the standard value is 12V±0.5V. Measure the resistance between Pin13/26 (ground) and body ground; resistance must be <1Ω. Check IPB-related fuses in the engine compartment fuse box, such as F1/14 and F2/11.
  • 3
    Communication line inspection: Disconnect the IPB connector. Measure the voltage to ground of CAN-H (Pin 16) and CAN-L (Pin 17) (approximately 2.6 V and 2.4 V respectively). Measure the terminating resistance (with power off, the resistance between CAN-H and CAN-L should be approximately 60 Ω, with two 120 Ω terminating resistors in parallel).
  • 4
    Visual and physical inspection: Inspect the IPB electro-hydraulic module (located near the engine compartment firewall) for impact deformation, brake fluid leaks, water ingress at the connector (green corrosion), or signs of overheating. Inspect the brake fluid level and condition.
  • 5
    Software procedure: Attempt to clear the fault code. If successful, upgrade the IPB system software to the latest version (e.g., for Song PLUS DM-i, upgrade to a post-2023 version) and rewrite the calibration data. If the fault code remains or frequently recurs, perform a power reset (disconnect the battery negative terminal for 10 minutes).
  • 6
    Verify by replacement: If the above checks are normal but the fault persists, replace the IPB electro-hydraulic module assembly with ECU (e.g., part number BYD-3530100-XX). After replacement, perform: ① Brake system bleeding procedure ② Pressure sensor calibration ③ Longitudinal acceleration sensor calibration ④ Yaw rate sensor calibration ⑤ Road test to verify ABS/ESC function.
  • 7
    System verification: After repair, perform emergency braking tests at 20 km/h and 40 km/h on a straight, level road. Verify normal ABS operation, check that the instrument cluster warning light is off, and verify the diagnostic tool displays no current fault codes.

Song PLUS DM-i ABS warning light stays on after car wash

✓
After the vehicle waded through water and was washed, the ABS and ESC warning lights lit up simultaneously. Read DTC C056364 (current fault). Found the IPB electro-hydraulic module at the lower left of the firewall; the connector cover was poorly sealed with visible water and green corrosion inside. Disconnected the connector, cleaned the oxidation, applied conductive adhesive, and replaced the seal, but the fault persisted. Power supply tested normal. Determined water had entered the ECU and shorted the circuit board. Replaced the IPB assembly (P/N 3530100A-02) and performed calibration; fault cleared. Check the IPB connector seal after water exposure and install a waterproof cover if necessary.

Intermittent brake system warning while driving — BYD Seal EV

✓
Customer reported intermittent dashboard warning "Braking System Fault" during high-speed driving. DTC C056364 was intermittent. Inspection found slight burn marks on IPB power supply fuse F1/14. Contact resistance at the fuse holder measured 2.3Ω (standard <0.1Ω). Disassembly revealed oxidized fuse blades and chafing on the IPB wiring harness at the battery bracket, with copper wire partially exposed. Replaced fuse and holder, repaired chafed wiring (added corrugated tube protection), and resecured routing. Fault did not recur. Intermittent faults like this usually stem from contact resistance; check power circuit voltage drop.

Qin PLUS IPB fault after collision repair

✓
Following front-end collision repairs that replaced the front bumper and left wing, the instrument cluster showed a brake system fault. Scanned DTCs C056364 and C055F92 (hydraulic system fault). Inspection found the accident had slightly deformed the IPB module housing, damaging the internal pressure sensor, while the ECU triggered protective fault codes after detecting hydraulic circuit abnormalities. Replaced the IPB assembly and thoroughly bled the system, but C056364 would not clear. Further inspection found the repairer had mistakenly mounted the IPB earth wire to a painted surface, with 8.5Ω resistance to earth. Sanded the earthing point to bare metal, retightened the connection, and cleared the fault.

Tang DM-p module damage after long-term parking

✓
Vehicle sat parked for three months. On startup, multiple warning lights illuminated on the instrument cluster including ABS, ESC, and EPB. The scan tool read DTCs C056364 (history) and C056E00 (EPB communication fault). Measured battery voltage at only 10.2V. After jump-starting, the IPB module internal relay chattered continuously. Determined prolonged low voltage caused overcurrent damage to the IPB internal boost circuit, and unstable ECU supply triggered the fault codes. Replaced the IPB assembly and battery (excessive internal resistance). Fault resolved. Advised the customer to disconnect the battery negative terminal before long-term storage to prevent IPB static current from draining the battery and causing reverse surge damage.
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.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.B110BDTC B110B indicates a fault in the internal air pump (sampling pump) of the PM2.5 air quality detector. This pump draws cabin or outside air into the PM2.5 sensor detection chamber, enabling the laser scattering sensor to measure real-time particulate matter concentration. The air conditioning controller (or BCM) sets this DTC upon detecting an open or short circuit in the pump drive circuit, or abnormal current caused by a seized pump motor. This fault disables the "Green Clean" system, causes the instrument cluster air quality display to read abnormally or disappear, and disables the automatic fresh air/recirculation switching function. It does not affect the vehicle powertrain or core thermal management functions.B173A1ADTC B173A1A indicates the right middle-row side airbag (typically located on the side of the right second-row seat or inside the C-pillar trim panel) igniter circuit resistance measures 0 Ω. In the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), normal airbag igniter resistance ranges between 2.0 and 5.0 Ω. A resistance of 0 Ω indicates a short to ground or a short between circuit wires, preventing the Airbag Control Unit (ACU) from establishing a normal monitoring circuit. This safety-critical fault prevents the airbag from deploying during a collision, continuously illuminates the instrument panel SRS warning lamp, and may force the entire airbag system into fail-safe mode.B173BDTC B173B indicates an abnormal electric A/C compressor speed feedback signal or a communication fault between the compressor controller and the motor. In BYD new energy models (e.g., Tang, Song, Qin, and Yuan series), this DTC belongs to the HVAC subsystem within the Body Control system and specifically involves the electric compressor closed-loop control circuit. The ECU sets this DTC when the compressor controller (IPM) fails to receive a valid pulse signal from the Hall speed sensor for more than 3 continuous seconds, or when the deviation between the detected actual speed and the target commanded speed exceeds the calibrated threshold (typically >500 rpm). This fault forces the A/C system into fail-safe mode and stops compressor operation. Symptoms include a complete lack of cooling, intermittent cooling, or a sharp decrease in cooling performance. The instrument cluster A/C warning lamp may also illuminate. Prolonged operation with this fault can degrade high-voltage system insulation or cause controller overcurrent damage.
