DTC C001500 indicates the IPB (Integrated Power Brake) ECU detects a circuit fault while actuating the right front wheel outlet valve (RF Outlet Valve, a Normally Closed Valve) — Atto 3

Braking System

DTC C001500 indicates the IPB (Integrated Power Brake) ECU detects a circuit fault while actuating the right front wheel outlet valve (RF Outlet Valve, a Normally Closed Valve).

This solenoid valve returns brake fluid from the right front wheel cylinder to the reservoir or master cylinder during the ABS/ESC pressure release phase, enabling precise brake force control.

Root causes include an open or short circuit in the solenoid coil, a damaged ECU on-board driver chip (MOSFET/ASIC), abnormal current feedback (e.g., mechanical valve sticking causing a current over-limit), or a wiring harness fault.

This fault prevents the right front wheel from achieving accurate pressure build-up, hold, and release cycles, and disables ABS/ESC functions.

In extreme cases, it causes right front wheel brake drag and uneven brake force distribution, severely compromising driving safety.

BYD Song PLUS DM-i ABS/ESP warning, right front outlet valve driver circuit fault

While driving, the ABS and ESC warning lights came on. Scanned DTC C001500 (Right Front Outlet Valve Drive Fault). Checked IPB wiring harness connections; normal. Measured internal solenoid resistance; open circuit. Confirmed open circuit in right front normally closed valve coil inside IPB assembly. Replaced IPB electro-hydraulic module assembly. Performed sensor calibration. System returned to normal.

Dashboard ABS warning light stays on. Diagnosis: right front outlet valve circuit fault.

After starting the vehicle, the ABS warning light remained illuminated and the system failed its self-test. The scan tool retrieved DTC C0015 (right front outlet valve fault). Inspection revealed an internal circuit fault in the right front outlet valve within the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU); the solenoid valve would not actuate. The external wiring harness showed no damage, confirming an internal HCU failure. Replacing the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit assembly resolved the fault.

ESC warning light illuminated while driving; faulty normally closed valve in right front wheel caused abnormal braking.

While driving, the ABS and ESC warning lights suddenly illuminated and the driver felt abnormal brake pedal travel. The scan tool displayed C0015-00 (right front normally closed valve fault). Testing revealed the right front outlet valve resistance fell outside the standard range (2-10 ohms) and the valve produced no operating sound during the actuator test. Confirmed an internal IPB solenoid valve fault. Replaced the IPB assembly, bled the brakes and calibrated the ESC. The fault codes cleared and the road test returned normal results.
