B165D-00

DTC B165D-00 indicates a communication link interruption between the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the Right Front Frontal Impact Sensor (RFFIS) — Atto 3

Safety System

DTC B165D-00 indicates a communication link interruption between the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the Right Front Frontal Impact Sensor (RFFIS).

In BYD vehicle architectures, this sensor typically features a 2-wire (signal loop) or 3-wire (power/signal/ground) design.

It communicates via a hard-wired connection through the SRS ECU G10 connector, specifically the G10-3 signal terminal and G10-14 return terminal.

The ECU sets this DTC if it detects the sensor circuit resistance exceeds the threshold (open circuit >10kΩ or short circuit <200Ω) during a monitoring cycle, or if it receives no valid sensor data for 3 consecutive monitoring cycles.

This fault forces the SRS into a degraded mode, disabling the right-side frontal collision detection function.

During a frontal impact, the system may delay or fail to deploy the right front airbag and right-side seat belt pretensioner.

The instrument cluster SRS warning light remains illuminated to indicate a system fault.

BYD S6 sensor wiring open circuit after front bumper painting

✓
Symptoms: The airbag warning light on the instrument cluster stayed on. The diagnostic tool retrieved active fault code B165D-00. Repair history showed the front bumper had been repainted one week earlier. Diagnosis: Inspection found the right front crash sensor connector had come loose. Continuity check between G10-3 terminal and the sensor measured infinite resistance. Tracing the harness revealed it was covered with seam sealer near the front frame rail; the copper conductors inside had corroded and fractured. Resolution: Removed the seam sealer, soldered the broken wiring, rewrapped with waterproof tape, and reconnected the plug. Fault cleared.

BYD Qin connector corroded after driving through water

✓
Symptoms: The airbag warning light came on suddenly upon starting after an overnight park. No collision history, but the owner recalled driving through deep water a few days earlier. Diagnostic procedure: Retrieved DTCs B165D-00 and B165E-00 (short to ground) alternating. Opened the bonnet and inspected the right-front sensor. Found significant water traces and green copper corrosion inside the connector housing, with oxidised terminal pins. Measured insulation resistance and found a short to ground on the signal wire. Repair: Thoroughly cleaned the connector and sensor terminals using electronic contact cleaner, dried them with compressed air, applied waterproof sealant to the sealing ring to improve sealing, and reassembled. The fault cleared after reconnecting. Advised the owner to avoid driving through deep water.

BYD Atto 3 new vehicle sensor wiring harness loose connection

✓
Symptoms: Three months after delivery, the instrument cluster intermittently displayed an SRS warning. Initially, the warning cleared after switching the ignition off and back on, but gradually became more frequent, occurring two to three times a week. Diagnosis: The warning light was off when the vehicle arrived at the workshop, but the stored history showed DTC B165D-00. Inspection of the right front sensor mounting location found slight deformation of the bracket, which stressed the wiring harness. Wiggling the harness reproduced the fault. Resistance measurements between terminal G10-3 and the sensor fluctuated between 0.5Ω and 5Ω, indicating poor internal contact in the harness. Resolution: Replaced the right front impact sensor wiring harness assembly, adjusted the sensor bracket to relieve stress, added foam wrap around the connector for vibration damping, confirmed SRS system configuration, and delivered the vehicle. Follow-up after one month showed no recurrence.

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.
