Braking System

DTC C001504 indicates a circuit or functional fault in the Right Front Outlet Valve inside the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) assembly.

This solenoid valve is a core component of the ABS actuator.

It opens during the pressure reduction phase of the anti-lock control cycle to release hydraulic pressure from the right front wheel brake cylinder.

The ABS ECU sets this fault code when it detects an open or short circuit in the valve drive circuit, or an abnormal valve spool response (such as sticking or a response timeout).

This fault disables the ABS pressure regulation function for the right front wheel.

During emergency braking, the wheel may lose anti-lock protection and lock up prematurely, severely compromising braking performance and driving safety.

This condition may also trigger a degraded operating mode in related systems, including Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Automatic Emergency Braking.

BYD E5 front right outlet valve coil open circuit fault

While driving, the ABS and ESC warning lights suddenly came on. Brake pedal feel remained normal. Connected VDS2000 and retrieved DTC C001504. During actuator testing, the right front outlet valve produced no actuation sound; the other three valves operated normally. Disconnected the ABS pump harness connector and measured infinite resistance (open circuit) across the right front outlet valve pins. Diagnosis: burnt solenoid coil inside the HCU. The ABS pump assembly was under warranty, so replaced the genuine ABS hydraulic modulator assembly (with ECU). Performed the bleed procedure and online matching. Fault cleared. Road-tested 20 km with no abnormalities.

Chafed BYD E5 ABS pump wiring harness caused intermittent short circuit

The owner reported the ABS warning light tends to come on during rain or after driving through water, sometimes going out automatically in dry weather. The diagnostic scanner logged an intermittent C001504 fault. Inspection revealed the ABS hydraulic modulator assembly wiring harness had chafed at the firewall retaining clip; damaged insulation caused an intermittent short to body on the right front outlet valve drive wire. Technicians repaired the harness (re-soldered the connections and fitted corrugated tubing), adjusted the routing to prevent body interference, and sealed against water ingress. They cleared the fault codes and conducted a simulated rain test; the fault did not return.

BYD E5: Brake fluid contamination caused outlet valve sticking

Vehicle entered limp mode with the instrument cluster displaying "Check Brake System" and ABS/ESP warning lights on steady. Diagnosis revealed DTC C001504. Solenoid resistance measured normal at 2.8Ω. Actuator test showed sluggish valve spool movement with occasional faint noise. Owner confirmed brake fluid never changed in 60,000 km. Severe moisture absorption caused the fluid to deteriorate and crystallize, jamming the valve spool. Replaced ABS hydraulic modulator assembly, thoroughly flushed brake system (replacing hoses and wheel cylinders), and refilled with fresh DOT4 brake fluid. Fault cleared.

Right front brake line resonance caused valve body weld cracking on BYD E5

ABS warning light illuminates intermittently, more frequently on rough roads. DTC C001504. Found the right front brake hard pipe mounting bracket loose with excessive pipe slack; the line resonated against the body while driving. Long-term vibration transmitted to the ABS pump body caused micro-cracks in the PCB solder joints at the internal right front outlet valve, creating intermittent open circuits. Re-secured the bracket, added vibration dampers to the line, and replaced the ABS hydraulic modulator assembly. Fault eliminated completely.

Internal hydraulic modulator defect in new BYD E5

At 8,000 km, the dashboard suddenly displayed "Check Brake System." The ABS, ESC, and automatic emergency braking warning lights illuminated simultaneously; auto hold failed. The dealership diagnosed fault code C001504. Resistance measurement of the right front outlet valve showed 12 Ω (far above the 2–5 Ω specification), indicating an internal inter-turn short in the solenoid coil (partial short). Replaced the OEM ABS hydraulic modulator assembly (part number 3635010-xx). Cleared the fault codes, performed ABS dynamic testing and a 50 km road test. All systems returned to normal.
