Function
The passenger seat airbag is part of the vehicle Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). In the event of a crash the airbag inflates to reduce forward movement of the passenger and distribute impact forces, working together with seat belts and pretensioners. The module contains the inflator and cushion designed specifically for the passenger seat location and vehicle seat geometry.
Compatibility
Fits Peugeot 307 (first generation). Common applications include 307 hatchback and estate models produced in the early 2000s. Compatibility is commonly searched by product codes 9653003677, 8216FV and 8216LQ.
Replacement Procedure
Replacing a seat airbag requires caution and basic electrical/vehicle service skills. Typical steps:
- Park vehicle on level ground, engage parking brake.
- Disconnect negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow SRS capacitors to discharge.
- Remove the passenger seat from the vehicle to access the airbag module (seat mounting bolts and electrical connectors).
- Carefully disconnect the airbag connector(s) and unclip the airbag from the seat frame. Observe orientation and connector locking mechanisms.
- Install replacement airbag in reverse order, ensuring connectors are fully engaged and locking tabs secured.
- Refit seat, reconnect battery, and use a diagnostic tool to check SRS fault codes and clear them after confirming correct installation.

Installation Recommendations
Always follow vehicle manufacturer procedures. Use insulated tools where appropriate and avoid undue force on connectors and wiring. After fitting, verify SRS system status with a suitable diagnostic scanner and confirm no persistent fault codes remain. If you are not confident with SRS work, have the replacement carried out by a qualified technician.
Most Common Failure Reasons
Seat airbags most often become unusable due to prior deployment in a collision. Other causes include wiring harness damage (from seat movement or corrosion), water ingress, seat upholstery damage affecting deployment, or connector corrosion. Airbags do not have a routine service interval; they are typically replaced after deployment, damage, or when an SRS fault indicates a defective module.
Notes for Mechanics and DIYers
Search by OE code (9653003677) or alternative codes (8216FV, 8216LQ) to find the correct item quickly. Ensure the replacement airbag matches the seat type and mounting points. Proper diagnostic verification after installation is essential to confirm the SRS is operational.
