Braking System

DTC C051D01 indicates an abnormal calibration status of the inertial measurement unit (IMU) inside the IPB (Integrated Power Brake).

Specifically, the yaw rate sensor or longitudinal acceleration sensor reference data is lost, offset, or invalid.

Integrated inside the IPB control module, this sensor monitors the vehicle’s rotational yaw rate about the vertical axis and its longitudinal acceleration in real time.

It provides the core input signal the ESP electronic stability control system uses to calculate vehicle dynamic attitude.

The IPB sets this code when it detects the sensor output deviates from the expected calibration reference beyond the threshold, or when it loses the stored calibration parameters.

This limits ESP functionality or triggers limp mode; however, normal hydraulic braking usually remains unaffected.

ESP warning light on after suspension repair (yaw rate sensor not calibrated)

After the 4S shop replaced the front shock absorbers and lower control arms on a Song Plus DM-i, the instrument cluster showed a steady ESP warning light and the steering wheel felt abnormal self-centering torque when turning. VDS read IPB system fault code C051D01; freeze frame data showed the fault occurred at 0 km/h. Inspection found technicians disconnected IPB-related wiring harnesses during the chassis repairs and skipped sensor calibration afterward. We performed the "Yaw Rate Sensor Zero Position Calibration" procedure on level ground, cleared the fault codes after calibration, and road-tested 5 km to confirm ESP function returned to normal and the warning light went out.

IPB system warning after software upgrade (calibration data lost)

After an OTA software update, the Qin PLUS DM-i started up the next day with the ESP and ABS warning lights and a 'Check Brake System' alert on the instrument cluster, and entered limp mode. The diagnostic scanner showed IPB system DTCs C051D01 (Yaw Rate Sensor Calibration Error) and C006A02 (Yaw Rate Sensor Signal Error). Technicians determined the IPB control logic had updated during the software upgrade, but the internal IMU calibration data had not synchronized. Using an ED400 diagnostic tool, they accessed the IPB system and ran the 'Integrated Sensor Calibration' procedure (longitudinal acceleration, yaw rate, and master cylinder pressure sensor calibration). The system passed self-checks after calibration. They cleared the fault codes and road-tested; brake force distribution and stability control functioned normally.

IPB internal IMU hardware failure caused calibration failure.

A Song PLUS DM-i with 30,000 km and no collision or repair history sat stationary overnight. The next morning at startup, the dashboard suddenly showed an ESP warning. Only DTC retrieved: C051D01. Freeze frame showed the vehicle completely stationary when the fault occurred, battery voltage normal at 12.4V. Attempted sensor calibration; the scan tool returned 'Calibration failed - sensor signal out of tolerance'. Checked IPB power supply and ground—both normal. Diagnosed as internal Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) chip hardware fault or dry solder joint in the IPB, causing permanent signal baseline offset. Replaced the IPB assembly (part number 6A-3630100). After replacement, performed coding, VIN configuration, and sensor calibration on the new module. Fault completely resolved.
