Used Mercedes-Benz EQE Airbag Control Module

Yes, the EQE is a fully electric saloon (launched in 2022) but it still has a complete airbag and SRS system, and the airbag control module (also called the SRS ECU or crash sensor module) is a standard fitment across all variants. The absence of a combustion engine makes no difference to the airbag system. If you have had a deployment event, bear in mind the module is a single-use component and must be replaced, and fitting should always be carried out by a qualified technician.

The EQE (V295 series) launched in the UK in 2022 and, as of writing, remains in its first generation without a confirmed mid-cycle facelift that would draw a clear compatibility boundary, so a 2022 and 2024 car are broadly the same generation. That said, airbag module compatibility is closely tied to the exact SRS system specification, and subtle software or hardware revisions can exist within a model run, so you should confirm the specific part number compatibility with the breaker against your registration before buying. Never assume fitment on a safety-critical component like this.

The airbag control module itself is a central unit rather than a trim-specific item, but the EQE's trim levels — which in the UK have included Business, Sport, AMG Line, and Edition 1 — can vary in seat type and airbag configuration (for example, whether front seats include integrated side airbags or not), which may influence the overall SRS system the module is paired with. For this reason you should confirm with the breaker that the module they have came from a vehicle with the same trim and seat specification as yours. This is something the breaker can check against your registration plate.

The electric motor output variant (EQE 300, EQE 350, EQE 500, and so on) does not in itself determine airbag control module fitment, as the SRS system is not engine-dependent on any vehicle, and on the EQE there is no combustion engine at all. What matters more is the generation, trim level, and the precise SRS configuration the car left the factory with. Confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The EQE and EQS share the EVA 2 platform and some components, but their body structures, airbag layouts, and SRS system calibrations are configured for each specific model, so you should not assume the modules are interchangeable. Always source a module specified for the EQE (V295) rather than the EQS (V297) or any other EQ variant. Confirm any cross-model compatibility directly with the breaker using your registration.

Airbag control modules are a safety-critical component and incorrect installation can result in the airbags failing to deploy in a crash, or deploying unexpectedly, both of which can cause serious injury. In the UK, fitting a replacement SRS module typically also requires the system to be properly coded to the vehicle using diagnostic equipment. We strongly recommend having this work carried out by a qualified automotive technician or an authorised Mercedes-Benz workshop.
