Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for airbag replacement it is necessary to follow the manufacturer’s safety procedures and work with the battery disconnected. The exact steps may vary depending on the specific design of the seat and the equipment of the car.
1) Before assembly (checks of the used part, what to compare with the old part)
- Compare the codes on the part: 96625553ZD and 8216QR with the old airbag.
- Check version/side (right front passenger seat airbag).
- Check the condition of the connectors and wiring – there must be no damage, bent pins, cracks, traces of corrosion.
- Visually check the airbag package/module for deformation or mechanical damage.
2) Necessary tools and materials (in general, without specific extra parts)
- Basic set of hand tools (screwdrivers, gola/bit set according to design)
- Plastic crowbar for removing upholstery/covers (typical)
- Clean gloves
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure (typically)
- Turn off the ignition, secure the vehicle against movement.
- Disconnect the battery and wait a reasonable time for the passive safety system to deactivate (according to the manufacturer’s service procedure).
- Get access to the airbag in the seat (removal of the necessary covers/upholstery – according to the design of the seat).
- Carefully disconnect the airbag electrical connector; do not pull on the cables, always release on the connector.
- Dismantle the fastening of the airbag module (the method of attachment differs depending on the model).
- Remove the original airbag and compare it with the replacement part (codes, connectors, shape).
- Install the new (used) airbag in the seat in the correct position and secure it in the original way.
- Connect the airbag connector(s) – check for proper seating and locking.
- Put back all covers/upholstery so that nothing presses on the wiring and nothing gets pinched.
- Check the cable routing in the seat (typically it should be free in the movement of the seat and away from sharp edges).
- Connect the battery.
- Check the function of the system according to the normal procedure (e.g. warning lights on the instrument panel and diagnostics according to service options).
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Check whether the system reports a fault after switching on the ignition (according to the standard behavior of the airbag light).
- Verify that the seat (if adjustable) moves without pulling/straining the wiring.
- If you have diagnostics, check SRS fault messages and verify connections (without listing specific codes).
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Battery not disconnected before work – always disconnect and follow safety procedure.
- Damage to the connector/pins during disassembly – disconnect carefully, do not pull on the cables.
- Pinched wiring when installing the upholstery – check the cable routing before final folding.
- Part code mismatch – always compare 96625553ZD / 8216QR with the old part.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Activation of the airbag in the event of an accident or impact – after deployment, the airbag usually needs to be replaced.
- Damage to the seat/interior (mechanical damage to the side of the seat, damage to the module).
- Incompetent handling when disassembling the seat or upholstery (damage to connectors, wiring).
- Moisture and corrosion in connectors/wiring which can cause connection failures.
