Description
The steering wheel airbag is the primary frontal restraint for the driver. It is integrated into the center of the steering wheel and is triggered by the vehicle’s SRS system during moderate to severe frontal collisions. The module consists of the folded airbag cushion, inflator (gas generator), and the clock spring/connector interface that supplies the ignition signal from the vehicle electronics. After deployment the module must be replaced; it is not serviceable.

How It Fits And Replacement Notes
Compatibility: Intended for Peugeot 307 models. The airbag mounts into the steering wheel hub and connects to the SRS wiring harness via dedicated connectors in the steering column. Replacement typically requires removing the steering wheel trim and unscrewing retaining bolts or clips that secure the airbag module, then disconnecting the electrical connectors.
Replacement Steps (overview):
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10–15 minutes to allow capacitors in the SRS system to discharge.
- Release steering wheel airbag retaining fasteners (accessible from the rear of the wheel or under trim covers) and carefully tilt the airbag module forward.
- Disconnect the airbag electrical connectors, noting connector locking tabs and orientation.
- Install the replacement unit in reverse order, ensuring connectors are fully engaged and fasteners are torqued to manufacturer specification.
- After installation, reconnect the battery and verify SRS warning lamp behaviour; use diagnostic equipment to clear fault codes if necessary.
Installation Recommendation
Always follow manufacturer safety procedures. Disconnect the battery before starting work and allow adequate time for the SRS system to discharge. Handle the airbag module with care: keep the trim cover facing away from you, do not place the module face down, and avoid exposure to heat, sparks, or static discharge. Reinstallation and SRS fault clearing are best performed by a trained technician with appropriate diagnostic tools. If the steering column or clock spring shows wear or damage, replace these parts during the same service to avoid future faults.
Most Common Cause Of Failure
Airbags most commonly become unusable after deployment in a collision. Other frequent causes of SRS faults or airbag malfunction include electrical connector corrosion, damaged wiring in the steering column, faulty clock spring (spiral cable), incorrect previous repairs, or exposure to moisture. An illuminated SRS lamp indicates a problem with the restraint system and should be diagnosed with proper diagnostic tools.
