This DTC indicates the air conditioning control unit (ACU) or thermal management controller detects an abnormal electrical condition in the front HVAC blower motor power supply circuit, specifically a short to body ground (impedance <1Ω) or an open circuit/high resistance (impedance >10kΩ) — Atto 8

Thermal Management System

This DTC indicates the air conditioning control unit (ACU) or thermal management controller detects an abnormal electrical condition in the front HVAC blower motor power supply circuit, specifically a short to body ground (impedance <1Ω) or an open circuit/high resistance (impedance >10kΩ).

In the BYD e-platform architecture, a PWM (pulse-width modulation) or LIN bus communication speed control module typically controls the blower motor.

The ACU determines the circuit status by monitoring the blower motor current or feedback signal.

The ACU triggers this DTC when it detects sustained high current (short circuit) or zero current (open circuit) exceeding the calibrated threshold (typically 200ms-1s).

This fault prevents the front HVAC module from supplying air and affects cabin temperature regulation.

In extreme cases, a short circuit can overheat the wiring harness and trigger the high-voltage interlock protection.

Song MAX blower motor intermittent stoppage (short to ground)

✓
Symptoms: Air conditioning suddenly stopped blowing while driving a 2018 Song MAX. The instrument cluster displayed an AC fault, with intermittent recovery after restarting. Diagnosis: Connected VDS and retrieved DTC B2A3214. Measured the blower motor power feed during rough-road testing and found ground resistance fluctuating between 0-5Ω. Inspection revealed the firewall harness insulation was cut through by a sharp metal bracket edge. Fix: Repaired the damaged harness (fitted corrugated tubing and heat-shrink sleeving), rerouted the harness to avoid interference, and replaced the blower fuse. Fault resolved.

BYD Qin Pro EV blower motor burned out (internal short circuit)

✓
Symptoms: 2019 Qin Pro EV blows AC fuse at max blower speed; replacement fuse blows instantly. Diagnosis: Disconnecting the blower motor connector stops the fuse from blowing. Measured 0.3Ω between motor terminals and housing (severe short to ground). Disassembled the motor: commutator heavily carboned, windings burned. Resolution: Replaced front blower motor assembly (PN: TA-8103010). Cleaned AC evaporator (dust from motor burnout). Replaced speed control module (possibly damaged by long-term overload).

Qin EV speed control module fault causes false open circuit

✓
Symptoms: 2017 Qin EV climate control panel displays normally but the blower does not run. Scan tool reports B2A3214 open-circuit fault. Diagnosis: Powered the blower motor directly—it ran normally, ruling out motor failure. Input voltage at the speed control module (located under the blower) was normal, but output had no voltage. LIN bus communication was normal. Determined the module’s internal MOSFET had failed open-circuit. Solution: Replaced the blower speed control module (PWM Controller), programmed and matched it. Fault cleared. This case shows that "open circuit" in the fault code can indicate an internal open in the speed control module rather than a wiring fault.

Song MAX connector water ingress and corrosion (intermittent fault)

✓
Symptoms: 2019 Song MAX AC automatically shut down frequently during rainy season but operated normally on sunny days. Fault code B2A3214 intermittent. Diagnosis: Passenger-side floor was damp. Blocked AC drain hose caused condensate overflow. The blower power connector (white 6-pin) had severely oxidised (green) internal pins; contact resistance exceeded 10 Ω, producing a false open-circuit fault. Resolution: Cleared the drain hose, cleaned the connector pins with electrical contact cleaner, applied dielectric grease, and replaced the connector housing where necessary.

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.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.B110AThis DTC indicates interrupted CAN bus communication or abnormal data between the air conditioning control unit (ACU) and the PM2.5 air quality sensor. The PM2.5 sensor monitors particulate concentration inside and outside the vehicle and provides the basis for purification control in the automatic air conditioning system. The ACU triggers this fault if it fails to receive a valid CAN message from the sensor within the specified period (usually 100-500 ms), if message verification fails, or if the signal frame times out. Although this fault does not affect vehicle driving safety, it disables the automatic air purification function. The air conditioning system cannot automatically switch between recirculation and fresh air modes or activate the air purification mode based on air quality. A persistent fault may restrict the thermal management strategy.
