Second Hand Ford Edge Airbag Control Module

Yes, the Ford Edge is fitted with an airbag control module (also called the SRS module or restraints control module) as standard across all variants sold in the UK. It manages the deployment of airbags and pretensioner seat belts throughout the car. All UK-market Ford Edges will have this unit, regardless of engine or drivetrain choice.

The Ford Edge sold in the UK covers a single generation introduced in 2016, so a 2016 and a 2018 module come from the same generation and are more likely to be compatible than modules from different model generations. That said, airbag control module compatibility can be sensitive to the specific SRS system configuration, so you should confirm the part number against your registration with the breaker before buying. Because airbags and pretensioner seat belts are safety-critical, professional fitting is strongly recommended.

Trim level is unlikely to change the core airbag control module itself, but certain trim levels may have additional airbag or sensor configurations — for example, differences in seat-mounted side airbags or occupancy sensors — that could affect compatibility. Always confirm the exact module against your registration number with the breaker to be sure the SRS system configuration matches. Professional installation by a qualified technician is strongly advised given the safety-critical nature of this component.

Airbag control modules are safety-critical components and are strongly recommended to be fitted by a professional technician. In most cases the module will also need to be coded or configured to the vehicle using specialist diagnostic equipment after fitting. A used module should not have been previously deployed — once an airbag system has fired, both the module and the pretensioner seat belts are single-use and must be replaced, so confirm with the breaker that the unit comes from an undeployed vehicle.

Ask the breaker to verify the part number against your vehicle's registration to confirm it matches your specific SRS system configuration, as variants can differ. Confirm that the module is from an undeployed vehicle, since airbag modules are single-use after a collision triggers deployment. Also check whether the unit has been cleared of fault codes, as a previously faulted module may need specialist programming to function correctly in your car.

The airbag control module itself is a single centrally mounted unit on the Ford Edge and is not side-specific — there is one module for the whole SRS system rather than separate NS and OS units. Side does become relevant when replacing individual airbag components such as side-impact airbags or curtain airbags, but for the control module itself, NS and OS do not apply. Confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration to ensure it suits your vehicle's exact specification.
