Function and Fitment
This module is the side airbag integrated into the driver’s seat. Its role is to reduce injury to the torso and pelvis in a side-impact collision by deploying a cushion between the occupant and the vehicle structure. The unit is a direct fit for first-series Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107 models produced up to 2013; compatibility is typically verified using the part number (73920YV010 / 8216FK).
Replacement Procedure
Basic replacement steps for experienced technicians or skilled DIYers:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the SRS system capacitors to discharge.
- Remove the seat trim and upholstery panels carefully to access the airbag module. Avoid sharp tools that can damage the airbag housing or the cover.
- Unbolt the module from the seat frame and unplug the airbag connector (handle connectors with care and observe locking mechanisms).
- Install the replacement module ensuring the connector is fully seated and locked; secure mounting bolts following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Reconnect the battery and verify the SRS system status with a diagnostic tool; confirm that there are no active airbag fault codes and that the SRS warning lamp behaves correctly.
Note: Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s detailed service manual for exact removal/installation steps and torque settings.
Installation Recommendations
- Always disconnect the battery before starting and observe the recommended waiting time to prevent accidental deployment.
- Do not probe or short airbag connectors; avoid contact with connector pins and the airbag inflator surface.
- Use OEM-style connectors and fasteners. Replace damaged seat trim clips and secure all harness routing to prevent chafing.
- After installation, clear and verify SRS fault codes with an appropriate diagnostic tool to ensure the system is restored to service.
- If unsure, have the replacement performed or checked by a qualified technician experienced with SRS systems.
Why This Part Fails
- Deployment During A Collision: The most common reason is activation in an accident, after which the module must be replaced.
- Electrical Damage: Connector corrosion, wiring harness damage due to seat movement, or water ingress can cause faults in the airbag circuit.
- Physical Damage: Seat repairs, improper trimming, or impact to the seat can damage the module or its mounting.
- Age-Related Issues: Although airbags are designed for the vehicle lifetime, exposure to moisture or repeated mechanical strain on connectors can lead to failures.
Who Should Fit This Part
Intended for professional workshops and experienced DIYers. Because the airbag system is a critical safety component, proper handling, installation and system verification with diagnostic equipment are essential.
