This DTC indicates the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Braking System) control module detects a mismatch between the front left wheel speed sensor hardware identifier (HW ID) or signal characteristics and the vehicle configuration parameters (EPC/calibration data) — Atto 8

Braking System

This DTC indicates the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Braking System) control module detects a mismatch between the front left wheel speed sensor hardware identifier (HW ID) or signal characteristics and the vehicle configuration parameters (EPC/calibration data).

Specifically, when reading the wheel speed sensor ID code, resistance characteristics, or signal waveform parameters via the LIN bus or dedicated wiring harness, the IPB module detects a deviation between the actual characteristic values and the expected theoretical values.

This typically occurs when installing non-genuine parts, failing to reconfigure the system after a software upgrade, or when strong electromagnetic interference distorts the sensor signal characteristics.

This fault limits or disables the ABS, ESC, EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) functions, severely impacting the vehicle's active safety performance, but does not directly cause mechanical brake failure.

Model mismatch after aftermarket sensor replacement on Song PLUS DM-i

✓
A 2021 Song PLUS DM-i with 30,000 km displayed "Braking System Fault." Scan showed DTC C055500. History indicated recent left front wheel speed sensor replacement at an independent workshop. The replacement sensor was an aftermarket unit with mismatched part number; its output signal amplitude deviated 10% from OEM calibration. Installed OEM sensor (part number 5A-3630100), performed IPB system "Wheel Speed Sensor Calibration," and cleared the fault.

Configuration lost after IPB software update

✓
After the vehicle came in for routine servicing, the technician performed an IPB system software upgrade (OTA or via diagnostic tool). Following completion, the ABS warning light came on. The technician retrieved fault codes C055500 and C055600. Inspection revealed the upgrade process had been interrupted, corrupting the ECU configuration data. Using the VDS2000, the technician executed the 'online configuration' function to rewrite the vehicle VIN, tire specifications, and other parameters. After clearing the fault codes and conducting a road test, all four wheel speed signals synchronized normally and the fault resolved.

Aftermarket wheels caused erratic tone ring signal

✓
Owner fitted larger wheels (19-inch to 21-inch) and a non-OEM tone ring, causing an ESC fault while driving. The scanner showed C055500. Live data showed intermittent fluctuation in left front wheel speed at 40 km/h. The modified tone ring has 48 teeth versus the original 45, pushing wheel speed frequency beyond the IPB calibration range. The fault cleared after restoring the original tone ring or modifying the 'tire rolling radius parameter' using a scanner (requires manufacturer authorization to alter calibration data).

Backed-out pin in wiring harness causing intermittent type error

✓
ABS light illuminated intermittently when driving on rough roads. Fault disappeared during static inspection. Retrieved historical DTC C055500. Inspected left front wheel speed sensor connector and found terminal 2 (signal wire) on harness side slightly backed out, causing increased contact resistance (measured 3.5Ω, normal <0.5Ω). Re-crimped terminal, applied conductive grease and fitted waterproof boot. Cleared DTCs and road-tested repeatedly; fault did not reoccur.

Internal fault in IPB control module

✓
No prior repairs. Sudden brake system fault. Scan tool showed C055500. Left front wheel speed sensor power and signal circuits normal. Swapped sensor with another wheel; fault persisted. Measured input impedance at IPB module pins: signal input internal resistance only 2 kΩ (normal >10 kΩ). Replaced IPB integrated brake assembly, bled brakes, and ran system configuration. Fault eliminated.

B1108For 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.B1109DTC B1109 indicates an open circuit in the communication line between the air conditioning system PM2.5 air quality sensor (dust concentration sensor) and the air conditioning control unit (AC ECU), or an open circuit within the sensor internal circuitry. Typically located in the air conditioning intake duct, this sensor monitors real-time PM2.5 particle concentration inside and outside the vehicle. It provides data to the automatic air conditioning system for intelligent switching between fresh air and recirculation modes and for controlling the air purification device. During an open circuit fault, the AC ECU cannot receive the air quality signal, triggering the system fail-safe mode. Symptoms typically include failure of the automatic recirculation function, abnormal air purification indicator light operation, or abnormal air quality data displayed on the air conditioning panel. Severe cases may compromise the cabin environment control strategy, but do not directly affect vehicle driving safety.B110913DTC B110913 indicates an open signal circuit for the PM2.5 rapid detector (in-cabin air quality sensor). This sensor typically mounts inside the air conditioning system intake duct. It monitors in-cabin PM2.5 concentration in real time and provides data to the automatic air conditioning system for intelligent control of the air purification function. The BYD diagnostic protocol uses sub-code '13' to specifically indicate an open signal circuit. Although this fault theoretically affects a comfort feature, BYD Qin series vehicles classify it as a Level 3 (severe) fault. This classification occurs because the air conditioning system interacts with the battery thermal management system (e.g., monitoring battery cooling intake air quality). The fault can disable the automatic air conditioning mode and prevent the air purification function from operating. In extreme cases, it affects the battery compartment intake air quality assessment, triggering the 'repair immediately' strategy.B110AThis DTC indicates interrupted CAN bus communication or abnormal data between the air conditioning control unit (ACU) and the PM2.5 air quality sensor. The PM2.5 sensor monitors particulate concentration inside and outside the vehicle and provides the basis for purification control in the automatic air conditioning system. The ACU triggers this fault if it fails to receive a valid CAN message from the sensor within the specified period (usually 100-500 ms), if message verification fails, or if the signal frame times out. Although this fault does not affect vehicle driving safety, it disables the automatic air purification function. The air conditioning system cannot automatically switch between recirculation and fresh air modes or activate the air purification mode based on air quality. A persistent fault may restrict the thermal management strategy.
