My airbag light on my w212 is constantly on. The fault code reader shows "communication with the front left crash sensor has a malfunction" and "there is an internal fault in the left front crash sensor". Where is this sensor located in the front?

Thanks

Acceleration sensor bolted inside front bumper (see b151/1 & b151/3), may need to remove bumper. Should be part # 1729056000 (803 = 2013) – VIN will confirm.

Blind spot assist sensors are located inside rear bumper, both sides.

I see , Now i can trace it and fix it myself. i am assuming this system would require to be reset after installing new sensors.would a normal diagnosis computer do the job or it would requires some specific one.
and Do ClS550 , S550 have same airbag and blind spot sensor.I am thinking to buy them from part out cars.

Front crash sensors - W218 cls550
I am having same issues on my 2014 MercedesBenz CLS550 Please help...
My airbag light on my w218 is constantly on. The fault code reader shows "communication with the front left crash sensor has a malfunction" and "there is an internal fault in the left front crash sensor".
Have tried everything but the error comes back for both left and right front crash sensors...
Any idea what could be wrong. Also Please can you confirm the wiring color on both sensors ( right now it is connected to Blue and Brown wires)
Thanks
