ABS Wheel Speed Sensor - Bosch - Rear Right

It measures the rotational speed of the wheel and sends this information to the vehicle's ABS control module. This data allows the ABS to prevent wheel lock-up during braking.

Verify that your vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz SLK (R171) 200 Kompressor (171.442) made between 2004 and 2011, and that you need the rear right sensor. You can also cross-reference the part number with your vehicle's original equipment part number (OEM: 1715400217, A1715400217).

While basic mechanical skills may allow for replacement, it is highly recommended to have this safety-critical component installed by a professional mechanic to ensure correct fitment and function.

This Bosch sensor is designed to operate reliably in a wide temperature range, from -40°C (-40°F) to 150°C (302°F).

A failed sensor will typically trigger the ABS warning light on your dashboard. This means the ABS system will not function correctly, potentially compromising braking performance in emergencies.

Yes, this Bosch sensor is cross-referenced with parts from ATE (24071161093), HELLA (6PU010039101), and TRW (GBS2119).

The sensor features an overall cable length of 1105 mm.

This is the most common symptom of a faulty wheel speed sensor. The light indicates that the ABS system has detected an issue, often with one or more sensors. Have the vehicle's diagnostic codes read to confirm if this sensor is the culprit.

While less common, a severely faulty wheel speed sensor can sometimes affect speedometer readings. If your speedometer is also behaving erratically, it could point to a sensor issue.

If the ABS system is not engaging during hard braking or is engaging erratically, it may be due to an unresponsive or faulty wheel speed sensor providing incorrect data.

Inspect the electrical connector for signs of corrosion or damage. Clean the connector pins with an appropriate electrical contact cleaner if necessary, ensuring a secure connection.
