Transmission Control Module ISM A0002701752 / 0002701752 Mercedes (W221 / W164 / X164 / W212)
Looking for a reliable transmission controller for Mercedes that will match exactly by part number? We offer the ISM transmission control module with part numbers A0002701752 and 0002701752. This component is responsible for the correct operation of the automatic gearbox – communication with other vehicle systems, executing gear shift commands and ensuring stable gearbox operation under various conditions.
Important: full compatibility is always confirmed by the part number on the label. In Mercedes vehicles the same model could have different controller versions depending on the production year, engine, transmission and equipment – therefore the OEM number is crucial.
Condition and preparation – VIRGIN
This controller is prepared as VIRGIN, meaning a “clean” version ready for re-adaptation. This means that after installation it requires programming / adaptation via diagnostic tools such as Star Diagnosis / Xentry (depending on the vehicle version and equipment).
- VIRGIN = prepared to be reassigned to the vehicle
- Procedures required in Star Diagnosis / Xentry (coding, adaptation, initialization in the vehicle)
- Tested before shipping + warranty
Application / compatibility by part number
The ISM transmission controller A0002701752 / 0002701752 can be found for example in selected models:
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class W221 (example production years: 2005–2013)
- Mercedes-Benz ML W164 (example production years: 2005–2011)
- Mercedes-Benz GL X164 (example production years: 2006–2012)
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 (example production years: 2009–2016)
Note: the above list is for information purposes – in practice only the part number (A0002701752 / 0002701752) from your label determines compatibility. If the number matches, the controller will be the correct version.
Why is part number matching important?
In Mercedes-Benz vehicles there are different variants of transmission controllers (different hardware and software versions), even within the same body model. Differences may result from:
- version of the automatic gearbox and its components,
- engine type (petrol/diesel, displacement, power),
- production year and software updates,
- equipment configuration (e.g. driving modes, assistance systems).
Most common symptoms of a faulty transmission controller
- gearbox emergency mode with limited gears available,
- jerking / delayed gear shifts,
- no communication with the transmission controller,
- gearbox fault codes appearing in diagnostics,
- problems after water damage or voltage spikes.
Q&A / FAQ – questions and answers
Does transmission controller A0002701752 fit Mercedes S W221?
Yes, if your controller shows the number A0002701752 or 0002701752. Compatibility is confirmed by the number on the label.
Which vehicles use 0002701752 – ML W164 or GL X164?
The number 0002701752 is found for example in Mercedes ML W164 and Mercedes GL X164, but the part number on your module is what determines compatibility – not just the vehicle model.
What is the difference between A0002701752 and 0002701752?
These are designations of the same OEM number written in two formats (with the “A” prefix and without it). The important thing is that the label number matches: A0002701752 / 0002701752.
Is the ISM transmission controller A0002701752 Plug&Play?
No. This offer concerns the VIRGIN version, which means after installation it requires programming / adaptation using Star Diagnosis / Xentry.
What programming is required after installing 0002701752?
Usually initialization/coding/adaptation procedures are performed in Xentry / Star Diagnosis. The exact scope depends on the vehicle, transmission and configuration.
Will A0002701752 work in Mercedes E W212 2.2 CDI?
It may work if the part number on your old module is A0002701752 / 0002701752. In the Mercedes W212 there were different versions – therefore compatibility must be confirmed by the OEM number.
Does controller 0002701752 fit W212 3.0 CDI?
Yes only if the number on your label is 0002701752 (or A0002701752). Engine displacement alone does not guarantee compatibility.
