B2A5113

DTC B2A5113 indicates an open circuit in the signal circuit of the A/C system low-pressure line pressure-temperature (PT) sensor — Atto 3

Thermal Management System

DTC B2A5113 indicates an open circuit in the signal circuit of the A/C system low-pressure line pressure-temperature (PT) sensor.

This sensor typically mounts on the low-pressure line between the evaporator outlet and the compressor inlet.

It monitors low-side refrigerant pressure and temperature in real time, providing a key input signal to the heat pump/A/C control unit (integrated into the right domain controller or A/C controller) for compressor speed regulation, system protection, and thermal management.

When the controller detects the sensor signal voltage continuously exceeding the normal range (typically 0.5-4.5V) or a communication interruption, it sets this open circuit fault.

The system then triggers a protection mechanism and forces the electric compressor to stop, resulting in a complete loss of A/C cooling and heating functions.

In extreme cases, this affects the battery pack cooling circuit and creates an overheating risk.

BYD Han EV new car AC not cooling (factory refrigerant undercharge)

✓
Han EV purchased new in November 2020. Customer reported the air conditioning failed to cool on first use, with only ambient air from the vents. VDS scan retrieved DTC B2A2F09 (AC line pressure abnormal), B2A4E16 (high-pressure line pressure sensor open circuit) and B2A5113 (low-pressure line pressure sensor open circuit). Live data showed the compressor had not started. Measured normal supply voltage at the pressure sensors with no resistance anomalies. Manifold gauge testing revealed the system contained no refrigerant. Pressurized leak testing found no leaks. Determined the vehicle left the factory without refrigerant. Fix: Evacuated the system and recharged with the standard quantity of R134a refrigerant (approximately 650g). Fault resolved and air conditioning cooling returned to normal.

BYD e2: Intermittent air-con cooling failure (poor connector contact)

✓
A BYD e2 at 30,000 km suddenly lost AC cooling after running for a while, though restarting sometimes restored it. VDS detected B2A5113 (low-pressure line pressure sensor open circuit) and B2A2F09 (line pressure abnormal) in the integrated body controller. The data stream showed erratic low-pressure readings. Removing the low-pressure line pressure sensor connector revealed terminals that had backed out slightly; the connector latch had worked loose, letting vibration cause intermittent contact. Repair: Reseated the terminals using a terminal removal tool, reconnected the connector with conductive grease, and cable-tied the harness to relieve strain. Fault has not recurred.

BYD Qin Plus EV: Poor cooling performance (damaged sensor unit)

✓
Customer reported the Qin Plus EV air conditioning set to minimum temperature (17°C), but three vents still read 21°C with significantly reduced cooling performance. VDS scan of the right domain controller (integrating the AC control unit) revealed stored fault code B2A5113 for low-pressure line pressure sensor open circuit. Live data showed low-side pressure at 0.05 MPa (abnormally low), while the manifold gauge measured 0.35 MPa (normal), pointing to internal sensor damage causing signal distortion. Fix: Recovered refrigerant, replaced the low-pressure line pressure sensor, evacuated the system and recharged refrigerant. Test drive confirmed vent temperatures dropped to 6°C; fault cleared.

BYD Tang DM intermittent air conditioning failure (connector oxidation)

✓
New-generation Tang DM. After normal use, parked for 2 hours, then the air conditioning again failed to cool. No dashboard warning lights, but the compressor would not run. Drove normally in EV mode. VDS scan showed B2A5113 currently present. Checked the low-pressure line pressure sensor and found green oxide inside the connector. Sensor power supply measured 5V (normal), but signal line output voltage fluctuated 0–5V. Connector oxidation increased contact resistance and interrupted signal transmission. Fix: Cleaned the connector terminals with precision electrical contact cleaner, applied conductive anti-oxidant grease, reconnected and waterproofed. Fault resolved.

BYD Song Pro EV air conditioning system fault (wiring harness chafing, open circuit)

✓
Vehicle AC completely inoperative; compressor not starting. VDS scan showed multiple HVAC DTCs including B2A5113 (low-pressure line pressure sensor open circuit). Power supply at sensor connector normal, but signal line from connector to controller measured open (infinite resistance). Traced wiring and found harness chafing against a sharp metal edge where it passes through the firewall. Insulation worn through, internal signal wire completely broken with copper core exposed. Repair: Opened harness, resoldered broken conductor, applied multiple layers of heat-shrink tubing, rerouted harness and added rubber grommet and cable ties to prevent body contact. Fault resolved.

P0A0DBattery Energy Control Module Requested MIL IlluminationP0AA6Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation FaultP1A00Drive Motor "A" Performance — BYD proprietaryB1108For the BYD Song MAX (2017–2019), DTC B1108 indicates a short circuit in the PM2.5 air quality detection module (dust sensor) or its wiring harness. The sensor uses laser scattering to detect in-cabin and outside PM2.5 concentrations and transmits data to the HVAC ECU via the LIN bus or an analog signal. Short circuit conditions include: 1) Sensor power supply wire (+5V/+12V) shorted to ground 2) Signal wire shorted to power or ground 3) Short circuit in the sensor's internal photoelectric detection circuit This fault prevents the automatic climate control from switching between fresh air and recirculation based on air quality. The system enters fail-safe mode (typically forced recirculation). Severe short-circuit current can destroy the HVAC ECU sampling circuit. The system classifies this as a Level 3 severe fault and restricts vehicle operation to prevent electrical fires or controller damage. For other BYD models (such as the Qin EV, E5, and Song DM), B1108 indicates a driver-side sunload sensor fault, reflecting differences in DTC definitions across models.B110811This DTC indicates a short circuit in the air conditioning system PM2.5 air quality sensor (rapid detector). Specifically, abnormal continuity exists between the sensor power supply circuit or signal output circuit and body ground or battery positive. This causes the control module (ACU/air conditioning controller) to detect abnormal current or a voltage signal outside the valid range (typically 0V or supply voltage). The PM2.5 sensor monitors internal and external particulate concentrations, providing the data the automatic air conditioning system uses to switch between fresh air and recirculation modes. A short circuit disables the air quality monitoring function. This fault may force the air conditioning system into recirculation protection mode and trigger related thermal management system faults, as the air conditioning system acts as a key actuator in vehicle thermal management. In severe cases, the short circuit current can damage the internal sampling circuit of the air conditioning controller or overheat the wiring harness.
