Fitment And Function
Fits Peugeot 407 vehicles where the left seat-mounted driver airbag with the above product codes is specified. The airbag inflates in side-impact scenarios to reduce injury to the driver’s torso and pelvis. As a safety-critical component, it must be fitted with correct orientation and secure electrical connections to the vehicle’s SRS system.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes before starting work to allow the SRS capacitors to discharge.
- Remove the seat from the vehicle if required to access the airbag module: unbolt seat rails, tilt seat, and carefully disconnect electrical connectors.
- Handle the airbag module with caution; do not open, disassemble, or tamper with the inflator assembly.
- When disconnecting connectors, avoid pulling on wiring—release locking tabs and inspect connectors for corrosion or damage.
- Refit using manufacturer torque settings for seat and airbag fasteners (refer to vehicle repair manual). Ensure the airbag faces the correct direction before securing.
- After installation, reconnect the battery and use a diagnostic tool to check the SRS system for fault codes. Clear codes only after installation is confirmed correct and the system shows no faults. Confirm the SRS warning light behavior follows manufacturer guidelines.
- Observe appropriate personal protective measures: wear gloves, keep the airbag module pointed away from you, and store unused modules flat in a dry, stable environment.
Most Common Cause Of Failure
- Deployment During Collision: The most frequent reason for replacement is activation of the airbag in a crash.
- Connector Or Wiring Damage: Damage during seat removal/installation or corrosion can interrupt the SRS circuit and require module replacement.
- Water Ingress Or Corrosion: Moisture reaching connectors or the module can cause electrical faults or degrade components.
- Mechanical Damage: Impact, cutting, or excessive wear from seat rails and fittings can compromise the module housing or mounting points.
- Previous Improper Repairs: Non-professional repairs or attempted module disassembly often render the unit unusable.
For technicians and experienced DIYers, this airbag is a direct-replacement option when the vehicle’s original part numbers match the codes listed above. Always follow vehicle manufacturer safety procedures and use the appropriate diagnostic equipment after installation to confirm SRS system readiness.
