Function and Application
The seat-mounted passenger airbag provides supplementary restraint for the front passenger, reducing the risk of serious injury in moderate to severe frontal or side impacts. It is installed in or on the passenger seat and works as part of the vehicle’s SRS (Supplemental Restraint System).
How To Replace
- Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the parking brake and remove the ignition key.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the SRS capacitors to discharge.
- Remove the passenger seat trim and any upholstery clips to access the airbag module and connector.
- Carefully disconnect the airbag connector; if the cable is not supplied, transfer or source the correct pigtail/connector before installation.
- Unbolt the old module from the seat frame, fit the replacement module, and torque fasteners to the manufacturer’s specification.
- Reconnect the connector, reassemble the seat trim, reconnect the battery, and clear SRS fault codes with a suitable diagnostic tool.
Installation Recommendations
- Always Disconnect Battery Before Work: Follow manufacturer safety procedures and wait the recommended time to prevent accidental deployment.
- Use Correct Connectors: If the cable is not included, obtain the OEM pigtail or an exact equivalent to ensure reliable electrical connection and proper SRS operation.
- Inspect Wiring And Connectors: Check for corrosion, broken wires, or damaged terminals caused by seat movement or previous repairs.
- Secure Mounting: Fasten the module to the seat frame with the correct bolts and torque values to maintain performance in a collision.
- Clear Fault Codes: After installation, use a diagnostic scanner capable of reading and clearing SRS faults to confirm proper system status and reset the SRS indicator.
Why This Part Commonly Fails
- Deployment During A Crash: Airbags are single-use and must be replaced after deployment.
- Connector Or Cable Damage: Repeated seat adjustment, corrosion, or improper previous repairs can break the wiring or connectors.
- Water Ingress Or Moisture: Leaks or spills can corrode electrical contacts and degrade the module.
- Wear From Seat Removal/Installation: Damage during disassembly or reassembly can compromise the module or its mounting.
- Previous Improper Repairs: Non‑OEM repairs, incorrect wiring, or incompatible connectors often lead to faults.
Designed For: Peugeot 206 models (check part numbers 96498617ZR and 8216P3 for correct fitment). Suitable For: Professional workshops and experienced DIY technicians familiar with SRS systems and safety procedures.
