This DTC indicates the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Brake Control Unit) detects an abnormal supply voltage to the left front wheel speed sensor — Seal 6 EV

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.

The C003200 fault code on the Seal 6 EV indicates an abnormal supply voltage to the left front wheel speed sensor, affecting ABS, ESC, EPB, regenerative braking, AEB, and stability control. Severity is medium, as braking performance may be reduced. Common causes include damaged wiring near the suspension or fender liner, or a shorted wheel speed sensor. The recommended fix is to visit an authorised dealer for diagnosis and repair. Typical repair cost data is available.

Causes
Likely Causes — Seal 6 EV
  • 1Open circuit, wear, or short to ground in the left front wheel speed sensor wiring harness (especially at moving sections where it passes the suspension control arm and fender liner)
  • 2A shorted or burnt-out wheel speed sensor internal coil causes excessive supply current and pulls down the voltage.
  • 3Internal power supply drive circuit fault in the IPB control unit (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 is oxidized due to water ingress, causing excessive contact resistance.
  • 5Poor body ground circuit (G101 ground point corroded or loose), causing abnormal reference potential in the power supply circuit.
What To Do
  • 1
    Use the VDS2000/VDS3000 diagnostic tool to read the complete fault codes and freeze frame data. Check for accompanying codes C003108 (signal fault) or C003204 (circuit fault), and record the vehicle speed and ambient temperature when the fault occurred.
  • 2
    Raise the vehicle. Visually inspect the left front wheel speed sensor connector (located near the shock absorber or brake hose bracket). Check the terminals for corrosion, push-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, the voltage is 5V±0.25V.
  • 4
    If voltage is abnormal (0V, below 9V, or above 16V), check harness continuity along the wiring route. Inspect the harness sleeve for wear at the fender liner retaining clips and within the travel range of the upper and lower suspension control arms. Measure power wire to ground resistance (should be >10MΩ).
  • 5
    If the wiring harness voltage is normal, measure the sensor body resistance (normal range: 1.0 kΩ–1.5 kΩ at 20°C). If the resistance is <100 Ω or >5 kΩ, the sensor has an internal short/open circuit. Replace the wheel speed sensor (usually part number SA-3630100 or corresponding model number). During installation, apply an appropriate amount of grease and tighten to the specified torque (8–12 N·m).
  • 6
    If the sensor and wiring harness are normal but the IPB output voltage is abnormal, disconnect the IPB module connector. 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. Bleed and calibrate the brake system according to the repair manual.
  • 7
    After repair, clear the fault code and perform a road test: drive in a straight line at speeds above 20 km/h, read the data stream of the four wheel speed sensors using the diagnostic tool, confirm the left front wheel speed matches the other wheel speeds without fluctuation, verify the ABS and ESC warning lights are off, and test the automatic emergency braking function for normal operation.

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.
Other Seal 6 EV 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.B1737DTC B1737 indicates the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) detected abnormal continuity between the right middle-row side airbag squib circuit (typically the second-row right seat side airbag or right curtain airbag) and the vehicle power supply (B+, battery positive). The SRS ECU monitors the airbag inflator resistance via an internal current source (normal resistance: 2.0–3.0 Ω). If the ECU detects the voltage across the inflator circuit remaining close to battery voltage (>5 V and approaching 12 V) instead of the expected low potential or floating state, it identifies a short to power. This fault prevents the airbag from deploying normally during a collision because the short circuit bypasses the firing current. In extreme cases, abnormal current can cause unintended deployment, posing a severe safety hazard.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.
