BYD ATTO 3 (e-Platform 3.0) C051D01 Yaw Rate Sensor Calibration Error

C051D01 indicates a calibration error involving the yaw rate sensor used by the vehicle stability control system. The sensor measures the vehicle’s rotational movement around its vertical axis, allowing the stability control system to compare actual vehicle motion with the driver’s intended direction. The BYD ATTO 3 uses BYD’s e-Platform 3.0 architecture, with this generation introduced from 2022 and continuing onward.

Symptoms

• ESC or stability control warning light illuminated
• ABS or traction control warning may appear
• Stability control system warning message
• Steering or vehicle dynamics systems may enter a restricted operating state
• C051D01 stored in the vehicle control system
• Electronic stability control may be temporarily unavailable
• Fault may appear after wheel alignment, suspension work, or control-module replacement
• Warning may remain after vehicle restart

Possible Causes

• Yaw rate sensor calibration lost or incorrect
• Vehicle not positioned correctly during calibration
• Yaw rate sensor installation or mounting issue
• Sensor internal fault
• Damaged or loose sensor connector
• Wiring fault affecting the sensor circuit
• Incorrect zero-point reference
• Previous ABS, ESC, steering, or related module replacement
• Incorrect calibration procedure or interrupted calibration
• Vehicle alignment or chassis condition affecting calibration requirements

Diagnosis

Diagnosis should begin by confirming C051D01 and reviewing yaw rate sensor data with a suitable diagnostic system. Sensor readings should be checked for plausible zero-point values with the vehicle stationary on a suitable level surface, followed by verification of related steering angle, lateral acceleration, and stability-control data. If calibration is required, the correct manufacturer procedure and operating conditions must be followed, with attention to vehicle position and system prerequisites. For New Zealand owners, confirming the calibration condition before replacing the sensor can help prevent unnecessary repair costs.

Accurately diagnosing this fault often requires manufacturer testing procedures, wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, specifications, and system calibration information. Access to the factory service manual significantly reduces diagnostic time and helps prevent unnecessary parts replacement.
