C059000

This DTC indicates the IPB (Intelligent Power Brake) electro-hydraulic control module detects the brake booster motor drive circuit supply voltage exceeds the calibrated threshold (typically >16V) — Atto 3

Braking System

This DTC indicates the IPB (Intelligent Power Brake) electro-hydraulic control module detects the brake booster motor drive circuit supply voltage exceeds the calibrated threshold (typically >16V).

In BYD DMi models, the 12V low-voltage system powers the IPB, which uses motor direct-drive brake assist (without a vacuum booster).

Faults in the DC-DC converter, generator, or IPB internal power management circuit causing voltage increases trigger this DTC.

Continuous overvoltage can overheat and damage the IPB internal MOSFETs or motor driver chip.

This triggers system protection mode, resulting in a hard brake pedal, reduced brake assist, or restricted ABS/ESC functions.

Severe cases force the vehicle into limp mode.

Song PLUS DM-i DC-DC Output Overvoltage Causing C059000

✓
While driving normally, the ABS and ESC warning lights suddenly came on and the instrument cluster displayed "Brake system fault". Retrieved DTCs C059000 (Brake booster motor voltage too high) and U029D00 (Lost communication with DC-DC). Measured battery voltage at 17.2 V at idle; freeze frame showed 16.8 V when the fault occurred. Found the DC-DC converter's internal regulation circuit damaged. Replaced the DC-DC assembly and voltage returned to normal. Cleared the codes and C059000 has not returned.

Faulty IPB internal sampling circuit falsely reporting overvoltage

✓
The vehicle drove normally, but the brake system warning light came on intermittently. The scanner showed only active DTC C059000. Live data showed IPB supply voltage at 14.2V (normal), but internal sampling values read 18.5V. I checked external wiring and the DC-DC converter and found no faults. Diagnosed as IPB internal ADC sampling circuit or voltage divider resistor failure causing false readings. I replaced the IPB electro-hydraulic module and performed calibration; fault cleared.

Wiring harness wear caused stray voltage to enter the IPB power supply.

✓
Post-accident repair, a Song PLUS DMi repeatedly set alternating codes C059000 and C059100 (low voltage). Inspection found the front compartment harness damaged in the collision: the IPB constant-power wire and HV interlock harness had insulation damage and were contacting. With the HV system active, abnormal voltage leaked into the IPB power circuit through the damage. Repaired the harness insulation, separated HV and LV wiring routes, and replaced the damaged fuse and connectors. Fault resolved.

Generator regulator failure caused hybrid mode overvoltage

✓
Vehicle logged DTC C059000 in HEV mode; EV mode was normal. Diagnosis found overvoltage (16.5V) only when the engine was generating. Voltage at the generator output fluctuated. Generator disassembly revealed a damaged regulator, causing unregulated charging voltage. Replaced the generator assembly. System voltage stabilized at 14.2V and the fault code did not return.

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.
