Function
The steering wheel airbag is a critical component of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). In the event of a collision, the inflator rapidly fills the cushion to reduce forward movement and mitigate injury. The module works together with seat belts, crash sensors, and the vehicle’s airbag control unit.
Installation Recommendations
Always follow manufacturer procedures. Before any work on the airbag system, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait sufficient time for the system capacitors to discharge (commonly at least 10 minutes) to reduce the risk of accidental deployment. Handle the module with care—avoid impact, heat, or static discharge to the inflator. Inspect the steering column, clock spring (spiral cable), and electrical connectors for wear or damage; replace the clock spring if there are any signs of abrasion or intermittent electrical contact. When refitting, ensure the airbag connector is fully engaged and steering wheel bolts are torqued to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. If the vehicle registers SRS fault codes after fitting, diagnostics with appropriate PSA-compatible equipment are recommended.
Most Common Causes Of Failure
Airbags fail or require replacement most frequently due to previous deployment in a crash, electrical faults in the squib or connector, corrosion or water ingress, damage from improper removal or handling, and faults detected by the airbag control unit. There is no routine service interval for an intact airbag; replacement is required after deployment or when a confirmed fault is present.
Additional Notes For Buyers
Confirm that the product codes listed above match the part number you are searching for, as customers commonly look up airbags by those references. This ensures correct fitment for Peugeot 307 applications. For safe and reliable installation, professional fitting by a qualified technician is recommended when in doubt.
