C05D200

This fault code indicates an internal pressure sensor monitoring fault within the IPB (Integrated Power Brake) — Seal 6 EV

Braking System

This fault code indicates an internal pressure sensor monitoring fault within the IPB (Integrated Power Brake).

Specifically, during self-test or operation, the IPB control unit detects the voltage signal from the brake master cylinder pressure sensor (or wheel cylinder pressure sensor, depending on configuration) falls below the calibrated normal operating threshold (typically corresponding to an equivalent voltage for a pressure below 0.1-0.3MPa).

Potential causes include sensor drift, an open circuit causing signal loss (reading 0V or extremely low voltage), or an internal IPB hydraulic circuit leak preventing actual pressure buildup.

This fault triggers the brake system degradation mode and may disable the ABS, ESC, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), and energy recovery functions.

Extreme conditions may limit vehicle speed and illuminate multiple warning lights.

Song PLUS DM-i IPB internal leak caused pressure sensor to read low

The vehicle came in with the ABS and ESP warning lights on and a soft brake pedal. Retrieved DTC C05D200. Live data showed the master cylinder pressure sensor at 0.3V (abnormally low); maximum pressure reached only 1.2MPa with the pedal applied (normal: 8-12MPa). Disassembled the IPB electro-hydraulic module and found the internal master cylinder seals degraded and leaking. This prevented pressure build-up and the sensor correctly indicated low pressure. Replaced the IPB assembly, bled the brakes, performed pressure calibration, and cleared the fault.

Intermittent contact fault in Seal EV sensor connector

Owner reported the brake system warning light came on intermittently during cold starts and cleared after the vehicle warmed up. Scan tool read historical DTC C05D200; live data showed normal readings. Inspection found the pressure sensor connector on the IPB module loose with oxidized pins. Cold-state metal contraction increased contact resistance, pulling the signal voltage low. Tightened the connector pins using a special tool, applied conductive paste, and re-secured the plug. One week of monitoring showed no recurrence.

Han EV fault after brake fluid replacement without calibration

Vehicle set DTC C05D200 the day after a brake fluid change at the dealership. Brake pedal feel was normal but the warning light stayed on. Inspection revealed the technician used traditional manual bleeding rather than the electronic bleed procedure with a diagnostic tool, trapping air inside the IPB; the pressure sensor detected abnormally low pressure. Used VDS to perform 'Brake System Bleed' (pump actively pressurises to bleed) and 'Pressure Sensor Zero Point Calibration'. Cleared the fault code and it has not returned.

Tang DM-i wiring harness short after accident repair

Vehicle involved in a front-end collision. After repairs, the dashboard displayed "Brake System Fault". Read DTC C05D200. Found the IPB module wiring harness crushed in the accident, with the pressure sensor signal wire insulation damaged and shorted to ground, causing the ECU to read 0V. Repaired the damaged wiring. Measured sensor reference voltage at 5V (normal). Signal voltage varied normally with brake pressure (0.5V–4.5V). Cleared fault codes and road tested — all functions normal.

Outdated Qin PLUS DM-i software version causing false fault codes

No abnormal braking feel, but DTC C05D200 set intermittently, usually after aggressive braking. Brake fluid, lines and sensors checked normal. Technical bulletin identified a pressure sampling filter algorithm defect in this batch's IPB control unit software, causing false low-pressure warnings under specific conditions. Updated IPB control unit software to latest version via diagnostic tool (version must be higher than V2.3). Continuous testing after upgrade found no further fault codes.
