DTC C056364 indicates the ABS control module inside the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Brake System) detects an internal operating fault — Seal 6 EV

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 Seal 6 EV indicates an internal operating fault in the ABS control module within the IPB brake system. Severity is medium because ABS, ESC, TCS, AEB, and related functions may be disabled or degraded, though basic hydraulic braking usually remains. Common causes include unstable 12V or ignition power supply, blown fuses, or internal IPB hardware failure. Visit an authorised dealer for diagnosis and repair. Typical repair cost data is available.

Causes
Likely Causes — Seal 6 EV
  • 1IPB module internal ECU power supply circuit fault: Unstable 12V constant power (B+) or ignition power (IGN) voltage, a blown fuse, or poor relay contact causes the module supply voltage to drop below 9V or exceed 16V, triggering protection.
  • 2IPB electro-hydraulic module internal hardware fault: 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 pins, oxidation from water ingress, or harness wear causing intermittent open or short circuits, affecting power supply, ground, or CAN communication.
  • 4Grounding 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, causing module self-check failure.
What To Do
  • 1
    Diagnostic scan: Use VDS2000/3000 or Launch X431 to read all fault codes. Record freeze frame data. Check for accompanying U-series communication or power supply fault codes (e.g., C003F00, C004000). Analyze parameters such as vehicle speed and voltage at the time the fault occurred.
  • 2
    Power supply and ground check: Measure the voltage at IPB module connector Pin 1 (Terminal 30, constant power) and Pin 2 (Terminal 15, ignition power); the standard value is 12V ± 0.5V. Measure the resistance between Pin 13/26 (ground) and body ground; the value must be <1Ω. Check the 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 for CAN-H (Pin 16) and CAN-L (Pin 17) (approximately 2.6V and 2.4V respectively). Measure the termination resistance (with power off, the resistance between CAN-H and CAN-L should be approximately 60Ω, comprising two 120Ω terminating resistors in parallel).
  • 4
    Visual and physical inspection: Check the IPB electro-hydraulic module (located near the firewall in the engine compartment) for impact deformation, brake fluid leaks, water ingress at the connector (green corrosion), or signs of overheating. Check the brake fluid level and condition.
  • 5
    Software procedure: Attempt to clear the fault code. If the code clears, upgrade the IPB system software to the latest version (e.g., upgrade Song PLUS DM-i to a post-2023 version) and rewrite the calibration data. If the code fails to clear or recurs frequently, perform a power reset (disconnect the battery negative terminal for 10 minutes).
  • 6
    Replacement verification: 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 20km/h and 40km/h on a straight, level road. Confirm normal ABS operation, check that the instrument cluster warning light is off, and verify the diagnostic tool shows 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 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.
