C007500

DTC C007500 indicates an electrical fault or short circuit in Master Cylinder Position Sensor A within the IPB (Intelligent Power Brake) system — Seal U

Braking System

DTC C007500 indicates an electrical fault or short circuit in Master Cylinder Position Sensor A within the IPB (Intelligent Power Brake) system.

This sensor typically uses a Hall-effect or inductive principle and mounts near the brake master cylinder.

It monitors master cylinder piston travel in real time, converting the driver's mechanical braking intent into an electrical signal (typically a 0.5-4.5V analog voltage) and transmitting it to the IPB ECU.

The ECU uses this signal to calculate the required brake fluid pressure and controls the motor to build hydraulic pressure.

The ECU sets this DTC when it detects the sensor signal voltage continuously exceeding the valid range (short to power >4.8V or short to ground <0.2V), or an abnormal logical relationship between the signal and pedal travel.

Setting this DTC causes the IPB system to enter a degraded mode, disable brake energy recovery, retain only basic hydraulic braking, and illuminate the ABS/ESC warning light.

Song PLUS DM-i master cylinder sensor short circuit after water fording

✓
The vehicle drove through approximately 40 cm of water. The dashboard displayed "Brake System Fault." Retrieved DTC C007500. Inspection found visible water stains on the lower IPB assembly and water accumulation inside the sensor connector. Disassembling the connector revealed a water film bridging pin 3 (signal line) and pin 2 (ground line), causing a signal short to ground. Cleaned the connector pins with anhydrous ethanol, blow-dried them, applied conductive grease, and cleared the fault. Check the sealing around the IPB mounting location and install a waterproof cover if necessary.

Han EV wiring harness wear causes intermittent C007500 fault

✓
Owner reported intermittent ABS warning light. Scanner retrieved historic DTC C007500, current status intermittent. Found IPB sensor wiring harness contacting metal bracket edge near steering column mount; insulation worn through exposing copper wire. Harness movement during steering caused intermittent short to ground at the damaged section. Wrapped damaged section with insulation tape, re-secured harness routing, added rubber grommet to isolate from sharp metal edge. Cleared DTC and road tested 100 km with no recurrence.

BYD Seal IPB Assembly Internal Sensor Failure Replacement Case

✓
At 12,000 km, the dashboard displayed "Check Brake System". DTC C007500 present and would not clear. Sensor supply measured 5V (normal). Signal voltage fixed at 4.9V, not varying with pedal movement (normal: 0.5–4.5V). Wiring insulation good. Found internal master cylinder position sensor failure in the IPB (Hall IC failure). Sensor integrates with IPB housing; replaced complete IPB assembly (Part No.: 3510001-XX). Completed IPB bleed and pedal position calibration after replacement. Fault cleared.

Sensor mounting position shifted after accident repair on Qin PLUS DM-i

✓
After front collision repairs (front bulkhead replacement), the ABS warning light illuminated on the instrument cluster with DTC C007500. Inspection revealed the IPB assembly had been removed during the accident repairs. Upon reinstallation, the locating pins were not aligned, causing excessive clearance between the master cylinder position sensor and the master cylinder piston magnetic ring (standard clearance 0.5-1.2mm, measured 2.8mm). The sensor could not detect changes in magnetic field strength, so the ECU set a signal open/short circuit fault. Removed and reinstalled the IPB, ensuring the locating pins were fully seated. Tightened the mounting nuts to the specified torque (typically 8-10Nm). The DTC cleared automatically and brake pedal feel returned to normal.

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.
