FAQs

Is this sensor compatible with both passenger and cargo Sprinter 906 models?

Yes, it is designed for the 906 chassis; however, always verify your specific model's production date to ensure exact compatibility.

Do I need to replace the sensor on the right side if the left one fails?

While not strictly required, if your vehicle has high mileage, replacing sensors in pairs is often recommended to maintain balanced system performance.

What is the primary function of this part?

It monitors the rotational speed of the wheel and transmits that data to the ABS module to prevent wheel lockup during braking.

Can I install this sensor myself?

It can be installed by those with intermediate automotive repair experience, provided you have the proper tools to safely lift and secure the vehicle.

What should I do if the sensor tip is dirty during installation?

Gently wipe the sensor tip with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that could scratch the sensing surface.

Troubleshooting

ABS warning light remains on after installation

Clear the fault codes using a professional OBD-II scanner, as the system may need a manual reset to recognize the new sensor.

Erratic sensor readings during low speeds

Check that the sensor is fully seated and that the magnetic reluctor ring inside the hub is clean and free of metallic debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality construction from a trusted aftermarket manufacturer
  • Precise compatibility for the Sprinter 906 series
  • Essential for maintaining proper ABS and traction control functionality
  • Cost-effective alternative to dealership parts

Cons

  • Requires mechanical knowledge for proper rear wheel hub access
  • Does not include mounting hardware in some packaging
  • Sensitive electrical component requires careful handling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting installation, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off. The rear left wheel must be removed to access the sensor housing near the wheel hub.

  1. Safely lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  2. Locate the electrical connector for the old sensor and disconnect it.
  3. Carefully remove the sensor from its mounting bracket, ensuring no debris enters the sensor port.
  4. Clean the mounting area thoroughly before inserting the new Febi sensor to ensure an accurate air gap.
  5. Secure the sensor and route the harness exactly as the original to prevent rubbing or heat damage.

Compatibility note: Always cross-reference your VIN with the part number 171102 to confirm your specific Sprinter sub-model year and configuration.
