Description
Passenger seat airbag for PEUGEOT 307 vehicles.
This Right Passenger Seat Airbag is designed for the Peugeot 307 and provides side-impact occupant protection integrated into the front passenger seat. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics, this module matches common OEM part numbers and is a direct-fit replacement for compatible Peugeot 307 interiors. The unit restores proper SRS function after deployment or damage and is often searched by reference numbers such as 9653003677, 8216FV and 8216LQ.
Function And Compatibility
The seat-mounted airbag protects the passenger torso and side area in moderate to severe side impacts. This part is intended for the front right (passenger) seat of Peugeot 307 models (first generation). It is a seat-integrated module that connects to the vehicle SRS wiring harness and occupancy sensor circuits where applicable.
How Replacement Typically Works
Replacement requires removal of seat trim to access the airbag module and disconnecting the SRS connector. Typical steps performed by a qualified technician or experienced DIYer include:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait the recommended time (commonly 10–15 minutes) to allow SRS capacitors to discharge.
- Move the seat to gain access, remove trim and fasteners securing the airbag module.
- Carefully unplug the airbag connector(s) and remove the old module.
- Install the replacement module, secure fasteners to manufacturer specifications, and reconnect all connectors.
- Reassemble seat trim, reconnect the battery and perform an SRS system check with a diagnostic tool to confirm proper operation and that the airbag warning light extinguishes after initial self-test.

Installation Recommendations
Always follow safety procedures when working with SRS components. Recommended precautions:
- Disconnect the battery and wait the manufacturer-recommended interval before starting work.
- Work in a static-free environment and avoid placing the airbag face down or exposing the module to impact.
- Use correct tools and follow original fastener torque values from the vehicle manual.
- After fitment, verify SRS status with a diagnostic tool and clear any stored faults. Do not drive until the airbag warning lamp performs its self-check correctly.
- If uncertain, have installation performed by a technician experienced with airbag systems.
Why This Part Commonly Fails
Seat airbags may fail or become unusable for several common reasons:
- Deployment During A Collision: Once deployed, the module must be replaced.
- Connector Or Wiring Damage: Repeated seat movement can fatigue the wiring harness; corrosion or damaged connectors cause faults.
- Water Or Moisture Ingress: Leaks or spills that reach the seat base can corrode contacts and sensors.
- Occupant Sensor Or Circuit Faults: Malfunctioning seat occupancy detection or wiring faults can trigger SRS warnings related to the seat airbag.
- Physical Damage Or Improper Previous Repairs: Incorrect reassembly or aftermarket interventions can compromise the module.
Buying a correctly coded and physically intact passenger seat airbag with the matching part numbers (9653003677 / 8216FV / 8216LQ) increases the chance of straightforward replacement and reliable SRS operation. Suitable for mechanics and competent DIY enthusiasts who follow SRS safety procedures.
