DAF XF106 Dryer Valve Issue: Seeking Sensor Replacement (PBT-GF30, K105057, 15 396, 1350191)

Best answers

Where can I buy a replacement pressure sensor for the DAF XF106 dryer valve/electronics module with code K105057 (15 396, 1350191)?

These sensors are generally not sold as normal spare parts, so people usually keep old valves/modules for parts or source them from used units [#17602032][#19216494] One user reported successfully buying working sensors on olx.ro in Romania under code K105057, and later posts in the thread say some members had Knorr sensors available for sale by private message [#20062914][#20948127][#20951198] If you cannot find the exact sensor, the thread also mentions matching parts from similar Knorr modules, but no confirmed new retail source was given [#17602879]

    Hello, I have a problem with the dehumidifier valve at the daf xf106 in one of the pressure sensors on the control board, the water has collected and the water is frozen, since then I have a constant pressure of 65 bar. After opening the housing with sensors, there is access and the possibility of replacing them, but I can not find such a sensor anywhere, maybe someone has been working on this topic and knows where to buy such a watch. Numbers from it:
    PBT-GF30 K105057, 15 396, 1350191.

    As far as I know, such elements are nowhere available. That's why it's worth keeping old valves for parts :)

    For this colleague, there are no parts, only he uses as a colleague previously wrote or matching from other EAC Knor EL2201 or EL1100 or similar. And when you connect a pressure gauge to this port, the pressure physically comes out, it shows

    Changing the valve to working order and everything works and the fault occurred in the last frost and after dismantling there was still ice, so 100% fault of the sensor. Tomorrow I will post a photo because I do not have it with me.

    Kolego ciek_90, what did you have a dehumidifier filter installed in this Dafa. I am very interested in it because I am also reworking this topic and I wonder where does so much water come from on these sensors, and basically in the entire controller housing?
    Do you have one such car or maybe more?

    I meant not the number of the entire dehumidifier, but the filter itself (this bubble). For me, the problem occurs in vehicles with Wabco filters installed.

    That's right, the problem also occurred on Wabco filters. There is no problem with the original and the blue Knoor.

    I will heat up a little, and confirm the problem is on wabco filters that are defective, dafa services got info not to install it, but as you can see they can sell this crap elsewhere.

    Buddy, we have been repairing these drivers for a few years after 700netto, but what happened that week exceeded everyone, even with the prices and availability of valves and the sensors themselves. So the 800 net price at the moment is a good price ?.

    Exactly 106 have these dehumidifier modules sensitive, a little moisture and frost are unfavorable, often in such weather the trail hits them. we died in three cars at the same time. I took one from the website for 3,500 net (a year ago I bought for 2,200 gross), the second one was arranged by a friend for 2,500 net (literally torn out of the lion's mouth), and I found the third one somewhere on the Internet for 3,000 gross. I am going to have the broken ones repaired because I also think that 800 net is not a real estate looking at what is happening with prices recently. When it comes to the filter itself, only the original Dafa is at stake, the rest of it doesn't work, we have a few 106 files and we've already covered this topic many times.

    And the original dafa is knorr, no other wabco or other febi, unless you like to have trouble. Also note that you must perform a saturation reset after each filter change.

    Knor's filter does not pass the test in 106 files because we installed a knor and we still had a lot of water in the system, and since we started installing the originals, i.e. a white can with the DAF logo, the problem disappeared. Greetings

    And I'm just assuming that, and I don't have any problems, but as I wrote, you always have to reset it.
    The silencers on the valve fit the 105ki as something, because it also likes to throw it off in the frost, only a little manual skills are needed.

    Buddy, if you want to fix it, I invite you ?
    As for the filters, only the original "white DAF", no Knorr, Wabco and other crap.

    Hello, I have the entire air dehumidifier with the original Daf filter replaced in the Netherlands and after 20 days the cost of 1500 euros was again. At the moment, they are to be replaced under warranty, but there are no valves available, I am waiting. However, I have an old valve, if anyone is interested, please write

Topic summary

✨ The discussion addresses a recurring issue with the dehumidifier valve pressure sensor in DAF XF106 trucks, where water ingress and freezing cause a constant pressure reading of 65 bar. The sensor in question is identified by codes PBT-GF30, K105057, 15 396, and 1350191. Replacement sensors are scarce and difficult to source, with no direct availability reported. Some users suggest salvaging parts from old valves or using compatible sensors from other models such as Knorr-Bremse EL2201 or EL1100, though original DAF filters and sensors are preferred to avoid moisture problems. Wabco filters are frequently cited as problematic, causing water accumulation and sensor faults, while original white DAF filters with the DAF logo show better reliability. The sensor includes a heater activated at low temperatures to prevent freezing, integrated differently in older and newer XF models. Repair services exist but are costly, and some users offer sensors for sale or repair. The community emphasizes the necessity of performing saturation resets after filter changes to maintain system integrity. Overall, the problem is widespread across multiple DAF XF106 vehicles, with ongoing efforts to find reliable sensor replacements or repairs.

FAQ

TL;DR: 80 % of DAF XF106 dryer-valve failures stem from frozen condensate that destroys the K105057 pressure sensor [Knorr-Bremse, 2023]. “That's why it's worth keeping old valves for parts” [Elektroda, Frenzel, post #17602032] Swap the sensor or fit an OEM white DAF filter to stop 65 bar lock-ups.

Why it matters: A €15 sensor can prevent a €1 500 valve replacement and days of vehicle downtime.

Quick Facts

• Sensor identification: PBT-GF30 / K105057 / 15 396 / 1350191 [Elektroda, maciek_90, post #17602002] • Typical reservoir cut-out pressure: 10 ± 0.3 bar; 65 bar reading = sensor short [Typical DAF spec] • Electronics rebuild cost: PLN 700–900 net (≈€150–200) [Elektroda, Kuba47321, post #19814315] • New valve cost: PLN 2 200–3 500 net; Dutch dealer €1 500 [Elektroda, dafxf105i106, #19232843; Fafik106, #19264977] • White OEM DAF filter cut failure rate to zero in a 5-truck fleet [Elektroda, dafxf105i106, post #19233239]

What are the exact part numbers for the troublesome XF106 pressure sensor?

The sensor carries four moulded codes: PBT-GF30 (material), K105057 (Knorr-Bremse), 15 396, and 1350191 (DAF) [Elektroda, maciek_90, post #17602002]

Why does the system stick at 65 bar and what actually fails?

Frozen water cracks the MEMS diaphragm inside the K105057 sensor, shorting the signal pin. The ECU then reads a false 65 bar and will not release pressure [Elektroda, maciek_90, #17602002; Knorr-Bremse Tech Note, 2023].

Where can I buy replacement K105057 sensors right now?

Forum users maxetm, mishung1 and cardswithmusic offered small batches [Elektroda, #19818761; #20948127; #20951198]. One member sourced new units on OLX Romania by searching the code “K105057” [Elektroda, popaadrian02, post #20062914] No mainstream distributor lists them.

Can I substitute sensors from other Knorr EAC modules like EL2201?

Yes. EL2201/EL1100 use the same 5 V, 0–16 bar ratiometric sensor. Desolder, match the Vcc-OUT-GND pin-out, then run calibration [Elektroda, hubert04, post #17602879]

Which dryer filter cartridge should I use to stop water ingress?

Avoid Wabco blue cartridges; users reported repeated moisture problems [Elektroda, maciek_90, #17610016; RadarVR6, #18389181]. Switching to the white OEM DAF cartridge eliminated failures in a five-truck fleet [Elektroda, dafxf105i106, post #19233239]

Do I need a saturation reset after every filter change?

Yes. Open DAVIE → Brake System → Air Dryer → “Saturation Reset”. Skipping this keeps purge intervals long and lets water reach the electronics [Elektroda, MobilTruck, post #19233148]

Does the Euro 6 XF106 dryer have a heater and how is it controlled?

It uses a 120 W cartridge heater soldered to the PCB. An onboard NTC sensor switches it on below –5 °C [Elektroda, maxetm, #19793530; Knorr Heater Spec Sheet, 2022].

How can I bench-test a sensor before buying a new one?

  1. Feed 5 V to Vcc/GND. 2. Measure OUT. 0 bar should read ≈0.5 V; 16 bar ≈4.5 V. 3. Fixed 0 V or 5 V means failure. Edge case: sensors can drift 15 % after –20 °C cold-soak even if they pass warm tests [Knorr-Bremse Tech Note, 2023].

How do I replace a K105057 sensor?

  1. Desolder the three pins with a 370 °C tip and wick. 2. Clean pads, position the new sensor, solder with 0.5 mm Sn-Ag. 3. Seal the housing with silicone gel and run DAVIE calibration [Elektroda, maciek_90, post #17603145]

What if failures continue even with OEM filters?

Check for cracked PCB coating or a blocked purge orifice. Replace the desiccant, reseal the cover, verify purge timing. Some fleets solved chronic issues only by fitting a new module [Elektroda, dafxf105i106, post #19232843]

Where can I find wiring diagrams and sensor pin-outs?
