Mercedes Benz Ml320 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Mercedes Benz Ml320 ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Ml320. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Mercedes Benz Ml320 ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Ml320, your ABS loses the input it needs. On wet, icy, or gravel road surfaces, the difference between a controlled stop and a skid can come down to whether your Mercedes Benz Ml320 wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Mercedes Benz Ml320

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Mercedes Benz Ml320 is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Ml320. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Ml320 ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Mercedes Benz Ml320 vehicles, this same data feeds the traction control system, electronic stability control, and electronic brake force distribution, making a functioning wheel speed sensor critical to the safe operation of multiple Ml320 systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Mercedes Benz Ml320

• ABS warning light on your Mercedes Benz Ml320 dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the Ml320 ABS light
• ABS activating on your Mercedes Benz Ml320 during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the Ml320, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Mercedes Benz Ml320 reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Mercedes Benz Ml320 ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Mercedes Benz Ml320

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Mercedes Benz Ml320. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Ml320 vehicles and many trucks still in service. Active Hall-effect sensors require a small power supply and output a clean digital signal, offering greater accuracy at very low speeds. Active sensors are standard on most Mercedes Benz Ml320 vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Ml320 traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Mercedes Benz Ml320 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Mercedes Benz Ml320 wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Ml320 ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Mercedes Benz Ml320. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Mercedes Benz Ml320 through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Ml320.

Frequently Asked Questions - Mercedes Benz Ml320 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Mercedes Benz Ml320 with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Mercedes Benz Ml320 with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Ml320 will be completely disabled. On icy or wet American roads, this significantly increases stopping distances and the risk of losing steering control during hard braking on your Mercedes Benz Ml320. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Mercedes Benz Ml320?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Mercedes Benz Ml320 year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Mercedes Benz Ml320, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Ml320 to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Mercedes Benz Ml320 at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Mercedes Benz Ml320 are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Ml320 has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Mercedes Benz Ml320 sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
