DTC C006108 indicates an abnormal signal from the lateral acceleration sensor (AY sensor) in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system — Qin Plus
DTC C006108 indicates an abnormal signal from the lateral acceleration sensor (AY sensor) in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system.
The ESP Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) typically houses this sensor to monitor the vehicle’s lateral acceleration (lateral G-force) in real time.
The sensor provides a key input for the ESP to calculate vehicle dynamic attitude, sideslip tendency, and yaw rate correction.
The ECU triggers this fault upon detecting a sensor signal outside the calibrated range (e.g., 0.5-4.5V), excessive signal drift, intermittent interruptions, or logical inconsistencies with yaw rate sensor or wheel speed sensor data.
This fault degrades or completely disables active safety functions such as ESP, ABS, and TCS, though the vehicle typically retains basic hydraulic braking.
On the E5 model, the lateral acceleration sensor and HECU feature an integrated design.
Do not replace the sensor separately; replace the complete HECU assembly.
2018 E5: ESP warning light on after water wading, intermittent DTC C006108
2019 E5: C006108 active code after accident repair, ESP inoperative
2018 E5: Intermittent C006108 after audio system modification
Replaced HECU assembly on 2019 E5, but C006108 persists.
2018 E5: C006108 appeared after driving on rough roads; internal sensor fault.
