Braking System

DTC C058900 indicates the IPB (Intelligent Integrated Braking System) electro-hydraulic control module detected a brake booster motor position sensor signal voltage exceeding the calibrated upper limit (typically >4.8V or 95% of the reference voltage).

Typically a Hall-effect or electromagnetic position sensor, this component monitors the booster motor rotor position/travel in real time to enable precise electronic brake assist control (similar to a brake-by-wire i-Booster system).

Excessively high voltage saturates the signal at the ECU, preventing it from identifying the actual motor position.

This triggers fail-safe mode: the system disables the electronic assist function, the brake pedal becomes hard (mechanical backup remains available), and the ABS/ESC/brake system warning lamps illuminate.

This is a hard fault; once triggered, it remains active and does not self-clear.

Song PLUS DM-i brake booster failure after water ingress (wiring harness short circuit)

After driving through flooded roads, the ABS/ESC warning lights illuminated on the dashboard and the brake pedal became stiff. Scanner read code C058900. Found the IPB electro-hydraulic module above the left front wheel arch. The motor position sensor plug seal had deteriorated; water entering the plug after wading shorted signal pin (Pin2) to reference voltage pin (Pin1) (measured resistance: 2.3kΩ). Cleaned and dried the plug, applied conductive grease, and replaced the seal. Fault cleared. Recommend checking plug waterproofing on vehicles from the same production batch.

C058900 won't clear after accident repairs (bent pin)

Front-end collision. After replacing the front bumper wiring harness, DTC C058900 set. Troubleshooting found the technician bent the signal pin (normally the center pin) when installing the IPB motor position sensor connector, causing it to contact the connector housing (ground) and the adjacent +5V reference voltage pin simultaneously and create a short to power. Repaired the pin and reconnected. Performed the brake booster position learning procedure (requires ignition on, brake pedal released, trigger motor zeroing via scan tool). Fault resolved.

IPB control unit internal sampling circuit damaged

No accident history. Brake system warning light suddenly illuminated during normal use. Measured motor position sensor signal line voltage constant at 5.04V (reference voltage). Disconnected sensor and measured ECU signal input pin resistance to ground at only 320Ω (normal >10kΩ). Confirmed ECU internal signal sampling resistor or ground protection circuit damage. Replaced IPB electro-hydraulic assembly (ECU integrated with assembly, no separate ECU available). Performed brake system bleeding and sensor calibration. Fault cleared. Analysis of the old part revealed ECU internal sampling chip overheated and burnt out, possibly related to prolonged braking during high summer temperatures.

Thermal breakdown of the Hall element in the sensor body

Vehicle set code C058900 after long-distance summer driving. The fault cleared after a cold restart but returned at operating temperature. At operating temperature, resistance between the sensor signal output and power supply terminals decreased as temperature rose, measuring only 5kΩ at 80°C. The Hall sensor had internal thermal instability; high-temperature leakage current pulled the signal voltage high. Replaced the motor position sensor (some models allow separate replacement; others require the complete motor assembly). Replacement resolved the fault. Inspect the motor cooling air duct for blockages.

Aftermarket modification caused signal interference and false positives (reference case)

Derivative case similar to C-series sensor faults: The owner fitted an aftermarket dashcam, tapping power from the IPB system supply circuit and causing voltage fluctuations. C058900 did not trigger directly, but C058A00 (out of range) occurred. Another C058900 case involved installing high-power radio equipment (vehicle transceiver) with the antenna near the IPB wiring harness; electromagnetic interference caused the ECU to misread signal voltage as excessive. Removing the aftermarket equipment and recalibrating resolved the issue. Ask about modification history during diagnosis.
