Compatibility / Applications
Designed for Peugeot 207 models (production years commonly 2006–2014) with a front passenger seat fitted with a seat-mounted airbag. Applicable to standard hatchback and estate (SW) body variants and other factory configurations where this OE code is specified. Verify fit by matching the product code listed on the part to the vehicle’s original part number.
Function
The seat airbag is a pyrotechnically deployed restraint that inflates in the event of a qualifying side impact to reduce occupant injuries to the torso and pelvis. It is triggered by the vehicle crash sensors and coordinated by the airbag control unit. The unit includes the inflator and the airbag cushion integrated into the seat structure or trim.
Replacement Procedure (Overview)
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow SRS capacitors to discharge (follow vehicle manufacturer’s recommended wait time).
- Remove seat trim panels and upholstery carefully to access airbag mounting points and connector(s).
- Depress locking tabs and disconnect the SRS electrical connector(s). Do not damage the locking mechanism.
- Unbolt the airbag module from the seat frame, keeping fasteners organized for reinstallation. Observe orientation of the unit.
- Install the replacement unit in reverse order, ensuring connectors are fully engaged and trim is correctly refitted. Reconnect the battery only after reassembly.
- Clear SRS fault codes and perform an SRS system check with a compatible diagnostic tool to confirm correct operation and that the airbag warning lamp is extinguished.
Installation Recommendations
- Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for detailed steps, torque values, and safety instructions.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and handle the airbag module with the trim side facing up. Do not attempt to modify or repair the inflator or cushion.
- Use a qualified diagnostic tool to clear faults and verify the SRS system after installation. If unsure, have the work performed or checked by a trained technician.
- Before starting any work, ensure the vehicle is in a stable position and the battery is disconnected to prevent accidental deployment.
Common Failure Causes
- Deployment in a prior collision — airbags that have deployed must be replaced, not repaired.
- Physical damage to the seat, airbag cover, or connectors from impacts, heavy wear, or improper seat repairs/modifications.
- Water ingress or corrosion of electrical connectors causing intermittent or permanent faults in the SRS circuit.
- Incorrect installation or damaged wiring leading to SRS warning lamp illumination and a disabled airbag circuit.
Notes for Mechanics and DIYers
This part is commonly searched by its OE product codes (96546688ZD / 8216NG). Always confirm the part code matches the vehicle’s original part before ordering. If the original airbag has been deployed, replace per manufacturer guidelines and verify SRS system functionality with diagnostic equipment.
