U010108

U010108 is a BYD-specific extended fault code and a subclass of the U0101 communication fault series — Atto 3

Braking System

U010108 is a BYD-specific extended fault code and a subclass of the U0101 communication fault series.

It indicates the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) control unit detects a data integrity check failure when receiving CAN messages from the TCU (Transmission/Drive Control Unit; in E5 battery electric vehicles, this typically refers to the motor controller MCU or transmission management unit).

Although the ABS module receives the CAN signal from the TCU, the message contains a CRC checksum error, a non-continuous Live Counter, a byte length violating protocol specifications, or out-of-range key signal values (such as motor speed, output torque, or gear status).

This prevents the ABS from accurately obtaining real-time powertrain parameters, affecting regenerative braking and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) coordination.

In severe cases, the system triggers Limp Home mode and limits motor power to ensure safety.

BYD Song — Multi-System Fault Warning

✓
While driving, the dashboard suddenly displayed multiple warnings: "Check Engine System", "ABS System", "Network", and "Braking System". VDS1000 scan showed U0101 series communication faults in the ECM. CAN network voltage check revealed an intermittent open circuit in the PT-CAN data bus. The front compartment wiring harness had poor contact under engine vibration. Replaced the engine wiring harness and front compartment wiring harness, secured the harness routing to prevent rubbing. Fault resolved.

BYD Qin 80 – Intermittent failure to enter Ready mode

✓
While driving, the P gear light flashed intermittently, the SOC did not display, and the instrument panel showed multiple system faults; the vehicle failed to enter OK mode. VDS diagnosis found communication timeouts in multiple modules, including abnormal ECM and VCU communication. CAN-H and CAN-L circuit resistance measured greater than 60Ω, indicating abnormal termination resistance. The Gateway (GW) module power supply showed intermittent IG1 power loss. Replaced the instrument panel power distribution box, repaired the Gateway module power supply circuit, and recalibrated the VCU.

BYD Tang DM - Erratic dashboard, no EV mode

✓
While driving in EV mode, the engine suddenly started and the instrument cluster showed erratic fault messages. Powered down and restarted; system returned to normal. VDS scan showed communication errors with ECM, TCU, instrument cluster, drive controller, BUS, EPS, and ESP modules. Measured CAN voltages at the diagnostic port: CAN-H 2.6V, CAN-L 2.4V — essentially normal. Disconnected modules one by one to isolate the fault; traced CAN signal interference to the battery management system (BMS). Checked the high-voltage interlock loop and found poor contact at the service switch socket causing the interference. Replaced the service switch socket, cleaned the BMS connector, and retightened the high-voltage interlock wiring.

BYD Song Pro - Instrument cluster shows 'Key not detected', won't start

✓
The rotating PAD screen remained lit. The vehicle failed to restart, with the instrument cluster displaying "Key not detected". A VDS scan revealed multiple communication timeout faults from the gateway module, including communication failure with the ECM. Inspection found the right domain controller (with integrated gateway function) had outdated software. Testing identified signal reflection on the CAN bus under specific operating conditions. Upgraded the right domain controller software to the latest version and replaced the gateway module with an improved unit.

BYD Qin Plus EV - Air Conditioning Not Cooling With Communication Fault

✓
AC not cooling. VDS scan of right domain controller showed U0101 communication faults. AC controller (integrated in right domain) inoperative. No AC system fault codes, but right domain reported abnormal ECM communication. Measured right domain supply voltage: excessive voltage drop on constant power (exceeding 0.5V). Found oxidation at battery negative ground point causing insufficient module power. Cleaned and tightened battery negative ground point, checked all module supply circuits. 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.
