What is a conductor plate Mercedes?
The conductor plate (febi no. 32342) carries the electrical sensing and control for the internals of the transmission. ( Fig. 1) N2 and N3 are two Hall Effect speed sensors – monitoring the speed of two separate rotating members and providing input shaft speed.
Do you need to replace the conductor plate on a Mercedes?
If you scan your Mercedes-Benz with a diagnostic scanner you may get several error codes that point you to speed sensor faults. You can not replace the speed sensors themselves and therfore you need to replace the whole conductor plate. Luckily, the transmission does not need to be removed in order for you to replace the conductor plate.
Do you need valve body and conductor plate replaced?
The majority of these transmissions were identified as VGS1 and required the replacement of both the valve body and conductor plate. Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz declined to sell replacement valve bodies to independent repair shops claiming that these components were related to the security of the vehicle. Yet they will sell complete transmissions.
When to replace Mercedes 722.9 valve body and conductor plate?
If these parts fail they will require replacement in order to extend the life of the transmission. The early 722.9 transmissions installed on Mercedes-Benz models between 2004-2008 had a higher failure rate. The majority of these transmissions were identified as VGS1 and required the replacement of both the valve body and conductor plate.
What causes the conductor plate to malfunction?
The Conductor Plate is a component of the transmission that eventually will malfunction as the vehicle ages. Sometimes the speed sensor built within the Conductor Plate fails causing erratic shifting, in other cases the float may fail causing…
