FAQs

What vehicles is the CI ABS Sensor XABS1188 compatible with?

This sensor is designed for Mercedes-Benz Viano and Vito W639 models manufactured from 2003 onwards. Always use the vehicle compatibility checker or contact support to confirm for your specific vehicle.

What are the main symptoms of a failing ABS sensor?

Common symptoms include the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard, the ABS system not engaging during braking, or a rough/pulsing sensation when brakes are applied even without needing ABS.

What is the difference between an active and a passive ABS sensor?

An active ABS sensor generates its own signal (voltage) and requires power from the vehicle. A passive sensor generates a signal based on the rotation of a toothed wheel and does not require external power. This CI sensor is an active type.

Can I install this ABS sensor myself?

Installation requires some mechanical knowledge and tools. If you are not comfortable with vehicle repairs, it is recommended to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation.

What does the 'active' designation mean for this ABS sensor?

It means the sensor has internal electronics and requires a power supply from the vehicle to function, allowing for potentially more precise readings compared to passive sensors.

How do I ensure I have the correct part number for my vehicle?

Use the vehicle make and model selection tool available on the product page, or provide your vehicle's details to customer support for assistance in confirming compatibility with MERCEDES-BENZ part numbers 6395401017 or A6395401017.

Troubleshooting

ABS warning light remains on after installation

Double-check the sensor connection for a secure fit. Ensure the correct part number was installed and verify vehicle compatibility. The issue might also stem from other ABS system components or require a diagnostic scan to clear fault codes.

ABS system not functioning correctly, or new warning light appears

Verify the sensor is correctly seated and the cable is not pinched or damaged. Ensure the sensor is the correct type (active) and compatible with your vehicle's ABS system. A professional diagnostic scan may be needed to identify other potential faults.

Difficulty connecting the sensor or locking mechanism

Ensure the connector is clean and free from debris. Confirm that the sensor is oriented correctly before attempting to connect it. Do not force the connection; if resistance is met, re-align and try again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before installation, it is crucial to confirm compatibility with your specific Mercedes-Benz Viano or Vito W639 model. Use the provided vehicle make and model tool or contact customer support if you are unsure. This sensor is designed for models from 2003 onwards.

Installation: Installation typically involves lifting the vehicle, locating the faulty ABS sensor on the front axle, disconnecting the old sensor, and connecting the new one. Ensure the sensor is properly seated and the cable is routed securely away from moving parts. It is recommended to consult a vehicle repair manual or seek professional assistance for correct installation.

Care: ABS sensors are generally maintenance-free. However, during routine vehicle maintenance, visually inspect the sensor and its wiring for any signs of damage, such as cracks, cuts, or loose connections. Keep the area around the sensor clean to prevent debris from interfering with its operation. Ensure the connector remains clean and free from corrosion.
