Braking System

DTC C055700 indicates the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Braking System) detects the left rear wheel speed sensor electrical characteristics, signal pulse count, or communication protocol do not match system calibration parameters during self-check or signal monitoring.

This fault is not a simple signal loss or short circuit; rather, the system identifies an abnormal sensor "identity".

Possible causes include installing a non-genuine wheel speed sensor with incorrect specifications (mismatched resistance, pole count, or Hall element type), an abnormal match between the sensor and the tone ring (magnetic ring), or incorrect IPB control module software configuration (such as flashing configuration data from another vehicle model).

This fault directly limits or completely disables functions relying on accurate wheel speed signals, including ABS, ESC, and EPB.

In extreme cases, it causes wheel lock-up or skidding during emergency braking, making it a critical fault affecting driving safety.

Aftermarket wheel speed sensor pole count mismatch caused C055700

A 2021 BYD Song PLUS DM-i had its left rear wheel speed sensor replaced at a non-authorized repair shop following a left rear wheel accident. After driving approximately 500 km, the ABS and ESC warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. Fault code C055700 was retrieved. Comparison showed the replacement sensor was a 48-pole unit, while the Song PLUS DM-i requires a 46-pole Hall sensor for the left rear wheel. Installing genuine part number 3C-3630100, performing IPB system calibration, and clearing the fault code restored normal wheel speed data for all four wheels.

Software configuration error after IPB assembly replacement caused the fault.

After the IPB pump body failed and was replaced with a new assembly, the technician failed to write the vehicle configuration before installation. This mismatch between the system default settings and the actual vehicle threw fault codes C055700 and C055600. Using a diagnostic tool, enter the IPB system "Vehicle Configuration" function, select the corresponding configuration code for "Song PLUS DM-i" (e.g., SA-XXX), and write the data. After the write succeeds, power down and let the system sleep for 5 minutes. The fault codes clear automatically. Dynamic testing confirms normal synchronization of all wheel speed signals.

Rear wheel bearing replacement with incorrect magnetic ring specification

LH rear wheel bearing noise. Replaced with an aftermarket bearing unit (with magnetic ring); DTC C055700 set. The replacement unit's built-in magnetic ring has 32 poles versus OEM 46, causing the IPB to flag the sensor output frequency as a model error. Replaced with OEM rear wheel bearing unit (with magnetic ring). Fault resolved. When replacing wheel hub bearings, confirm the magnetic ring pole count matches OEM.

Water ingress into the sensor connector caused oxidation, resulting in abnormal signal characteristics.

Water entered the left rear wheel speed sensor connector after driving through water, causing internal oxidation and increased signal line contact resistance. The distorted output signal waveform (slowed rising edge) caused the IPB to misdiagnose a sensor model error (C055700). Disassembling the connector revealed green corrosion on the pins. Cleaned the terminals, applied conductive grease, and confirmed normal resistance. Reinstalled the connector and cleared the fault code. Inspect chassis wiring harness waterproofing.
