Mercedes Sprinter Right Rear ABS Wheel Speed Sensor – GST | NCV3 2500 / 3500 | #9065400217 (2007–2018)
A failed right rear ABS wheel speed sensor on a NCV3 Sprinter removes the rear right wheel speed reference the ABS, traction control, and stability control systems depend on — illuminating the ABS, TCS, and ESP warning lights simultaneously and disabling the safety systems that prevent wheel lockup and loss of control under hard braking or in slippery conditions. This is the GST right rear ABS wheel speed sensor for NCV3 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 models, a direct replacement that restores accurate right rear wheel speed measurement and full ABS system function.
What This Part Does
The rear ABS wheel speed sensor is a Hall-effect sensor mounted at the rear axle that reads the teeth of a reluctor ring rotating with the wheel hub, generating a digital pulse train proportional to wheel rotational speed. The ABS control module monitors this signal continuously — when one wheel begins decelerating faster than the others during a hard stop, indicating impending lockup, the module modulates brake pressure on that wheel to maintain rolling traction and controlled stopping. The same signal feeds the traction control system (TCS) and electronic stability program (ESP) to detect rear wheel slip during acceleration and cornering. When the sensor's Hall-effect element fails, its wiring corrodes at the connector, or the sensor body physically cracks from road impact, the ABS module loses its speed reference for the right rear wheel and disables the entire ABS/TCS/ESP system as a safety measure.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Right Rear ABS Sensor
- ABS, TCS, and ESP warning lights illuminated simultaneously
- ABS fault codes for the right rear wheel circuit confirmed by scan tool
- ABS activating during normal stops where it should not — erratic sensor output
- No ABS activation during hard braking where it should engage
- Loss of traction control or stability control response on slippery surfaces
When to Replace
Replace when the sensor is confirmed faulty by scan tool with active right rear ABS wheel speed sensor fault codes, after ruling out the reluctor ring and wiring harness as the fault source.
