C056B00

DTC C056B00 indicates an abnormal signal from the main pressure sensor (Pressure Sensor 1) inside the IPB (Intelligent Power Brake) module — Qin Plus

Braking System

DTC C056B00 indicates an abnormal signal from the main pressure sensor (Pressure Sensor 1) inside the IPB (Intelligent Power Brake) module.

This sensor typically monitors hydraulic pressure in the brake master cylinder or booster chamber, providing critical input for the ABS, ESC, regenerative braking system (RBS), and electric brake assist functions.

The IPB ECU sets this fault when the sensor output voltage falls outside the calibrated range (typically 0.5-4.5V), the signal drift rate is abnormal, or the cross-check difference with a redundant sensor (such as Pressure Sensor 2) exceeds the threshold (e.g., a pressure value corresponding to ±0.3V).

When this fault occurs, the vehicle may enter brake assist degraded mode (hard brake pedal), limit ESC/ABS functions, disable automatic emergency braking (AEB), and illuminate multiple brake system warning lamps on the instrument cluster.

Song PLUS DM-i: Brake pedal stiffened and multiple warning lights illuminated

✓
A 2021 Song PLUS DM-i with 32,000 km came in after the owner reported the dashboard suddenly displaying "Braking System Fault" and "ESC Fault" while driving, with the brake pedal feeling noticeably hard. DTC C056B00 (current fault) present. The IPB module showed no external damage and wiring harness connectors locked properly. Live data revealed Pressure Sensor 1 stuck at 0.2V without changing, while Sensor 2 varied normally with pedal input. Disconnecting the connector showed infinite resistance between the Sensor 1 signal line and ground; the 5V supply read normal. Diagnosed as internal failure of Pressure Sensor 1 in the IPB. Replaced the IPB assembly, bled the brakes, and performed calibration. Fault resolved.

BYD Seal: Brake warning light comes on intermittently after driving through water

✓
2022 BYD Seal developed intermittent ABS and ESC warning lights after wading through heavy rain, with fault code C056B00 appearing intermittently. Inspected the IPB module (left front engine bay) and found moisture in the wiring harness connector; pin A03 (pressure sensor signal) showed slight green oxidation. Cleaned the connector with electronic cleaner, dried it, applied conductive grease, and reconnected. No recurrence after one week of monitoring. Water entered the connector during wading, causing intermittent signal open circuit.

BYD Qin PLUS DM-i set pressure sensor fault after brake fluid replacement

✓
A Qin PLUS DM-i showed a brake system fault on the instrument cluster after a non-authorised workshop replaced the brake fluid. We retrieved fault code C056B00. Inspection revealed the workshop had used substandard brake fluid that did not meet DOT4 specifications and had failed to bleed the system properly. Impurities in the brake fluid blocked the sensing port of IPB internal pressure sensor 1, causing signal anomalies. We flushed the brake system and replaced the fluid with genuine Changyue DOT4. We performed the IPB bleeding procedure using a diagnostic tool (cycling the motor and solenoid valves), followed by multiple bleeding cycles. The sensor signal returned to normal; we cleared the fault code to resolve the issue.

BYD Yuan Plus brake power assist failure on cold start

✓
An Atto 3 displayed "Brake Booster System Fault" on the dashboard after a cold start at -10°C. Fault code C056B00 appeared only when cold and cleared after warm-up. Data stream readings revealed severe zero drift in pressure sensor 1 at low temperatures (showing -5 bar; normal 0±0.5 bar). IPB supply voltage dropped to 8.2V during startup, indicating battery degradation (increased internal resistance). The cold-crank voltage sag caused unstable sensor reference voltage. Replacing the battery and inspecting the charging system resolved the fault.

Han EV false pressure sensor fault after software update

✓
A 2020 Han EV triggered DTC C056B00 the day after a multimedia system upgrade at the 4S dealership (non-brake system). Technicians inspected the IPB hardware and wiring harness and found no faults. Data stream readings showed pressure sensor 1 fluctuating between 0.1-0.3V while stationary. They reflashed the IPB control unit from V1.2 to V2.1. After the flash, sensor signal filtering normalized and the fault code did not return. The original software generated false positives under specific voltage fluctuations; the V2.1 algorithm optimization resolved this.
Other Qin Plus Fault Codes
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.
