BYD's IPB (Integrated Brake Control System) defines DTC C006382 as a lateral acceleration sensor (G200) signal plausibility fault, rather than a simple yaw rate sensor fault — Atto 3

Braking System

BYD's IPB (Integrated Brake Control System) defines DTC C006382 as a lateral acceleration sensor (G200) signal plausibility fault, rather than a simple yaw rate sensor fault.

This sensor typically mounts beneath the center console or behind the center armrest.

It continuously monitors lateral acceleration (in m/s² or G) during cornering or skidding, serving as a core input signal for the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) system to determine the vehicle's dynamic attitude.

The IPB control unit deems the signal unreliable and triggers this DTC if the sensor output falls outside the plausible range (does not approach 0 when stationary), exhibits excessive drift, or if the sensor mounting reference plane deviates from the vehicle horizontal plane by more than 3°.

Following this fault, active safety functions including ESC, ABS, and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) may degrade or fail completely.

In extreme cases, the vehicle may lose stability control on curves or slippery surfaces, posing a severe safety risk.

Loose sensor mounting screw caused signal offset on Qin Pro DM

Symptoms: Dashboard displayed "Check ESP System" and "Check ABS System". ESP warning light stayed on. ESP intermittently intervened abnormally during cornering (sudden single-wheel braking). Diagnosis: Fault code C006382. Live data showed lateral acceleration sensor reading 0.8 m/s² at standstill (normally near 0), with no change during steering. Found loose mounting screws at the rear of the centre console; sensor body tilted ~5°. Resolution: Tightened screws to 8 Nm, performed sensor zero calibration and ESC system calibration. Fault cleared.

Song MAX connector oxidized after water ingress during wading

Symptoms: Vehicle waded through ~20 cm of water. On startup, ESP light stayed on, steering was heavy (EPS entered protection mode), and speed was restricted. Diagnosis: Fault codes C006382 and C003708 present. Removed centre console and inspected sensor connector; found water inside with pins 1 and 4 oxidised green. Signal line-to-ground resistance measured abnormal. Resolution: Cleaned connector pins with electronic cleaner, blow-dried them, and applied waterproof conductive grease. Reconnected plug and performed sensor calibration. Recommended installing a waterproof cover.

Tang DM installation angle error after accident repair

Symptoms: After front impact repairs (front bumper and radiator support replaced), the ESP warning light remained on. Previous repairs did not involve the chassis. Diagnosis: Read DTC C006382. Found centre console removal during the accident repair had pried the sensor mounting bracket, leaving the sensor mounting surface at approximately 5° from the vehicle horizontal plane (standard requires <3°). Data stream showed lateral acceleration values fluctuating between +0.5G and -0.3G at standstill. Resolution: Corrected the sensor mounting bracket, ensured the arrow marking pointed directly forward and the sensor was level, then calibrated the lateral acceleration and steering angle sensors.

Calibration data lost after 12V battery replacement on BYD Han EV

Symptom: After the dealership replaced the auxiliary battery and upgraded the infotainment system, the instrument cluster displayed "Electronic Stability System Fault" with DTC C006382 at startup. Diagnosis: Only DTC C006382 present; no hardware fault codes. Sensor power and ground checked normal. Live data showed "invalid data". The battery replacement involved an extended power disconnect (over 30 minutes), causing ESP control unit calibration data loss. Resolution: No parts required. Parked the vehicle on level ground with the steering wheel straight. Used the BYD VDS diagnostic tool to perform "lateral acceleration sensor zero-point calibration" and "longitudinal acceleration sensor calibration". Cycled the ignition after calibration completed; the warning light cleared.
