One problem related to front air bag sensor control has been reported for the 2001 Mercedes Benz 430. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Mercedes has placed a sensor for the supplemental restraint system inside the seats of the e430. If the sensor goes bad a dashboard light comes on indicating an srs error.
