Description
Steering Wheel Airbag For PEUGEOT 307
Overview
This steering wheel airbag is an original-fit safety module intended for the Peugeot 307. It is a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component designed to deploy in the event of a qualifying frontal impact and reduce injury to the driver. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics, this listing includes common part numbers used when searching or ordering replacement units.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Peugeot
- Model: Peugeot 307
- Product Codes: 96345028ZR, 4112HW
- Other Numbers: NFP
Compatibility
Compatible with Peugeot 307 (first generation, generally 2001–2008). Fitment depends on steering wheel type and airbag connector variant — commonly used in hatchback, SW (estate) and CC versions of the 307. Always verify the part numbers and connector style against the vehicle’s existing unit when possible.
Installation Recommendations
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal before any work on the SRS system and wait at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge.
- Remove Trim Carefully: Access the airbag fasteners (usually located behind the steering wheel) using appropriate tools. Support the airbag module while releasing fasteners to avoid dropping it.
- Connector Handling: Unplug the airbag connector by releasing its locking mechanism; avoid pulling on wires and keep contacts clean and dry.
- Reinstallation: Fit the replacement unit in the correct orientation, secure all fasteners to the manufacturer’s specifications, reconnect the SRS connector, then reconnect the battery.
- Final Checks: After installation, confirm that the SRS warning lamp on the dash behaves correctly (lamp should illuminate briefly on key-on and then go out). If the warning lamp remains on, perform diagnostics with an SRS-capable scan tool.
Common Failure Reasons
- Collision Deployment: The most common and definitive reason for replacement is deployment during a crash.
- Electrical Issues: Corroded or damaged connectors and wiring, poor contacts or short circuits can cause SRS faults and require airbag replacement or connector repair.
- Clock Spring (Spiral Cable) Faults: A damaged spiral cable can interrupt circuits to the airbag, triggering warning lights and necessitating inspection or replacement of steering-column components.
- Water Ingress/Corrosion: Moisture reaching steering wheel connectors can degrade contacts and cause intermittent or permanent failures.
Why Choose This Part
Searching by part numbers 96345028ZR or 4112HW is common among mechanics and parts departments — including these references in your order increases the chance of a correct fit. This steering wheel airbag is intended as a direct replacement for compatible Peugeot 307 applications and restores the driver-side frontal protection after a fault or deployment when installed following SRS safety procedures.
Note
Work on SRS components requires care and proper procedures. If you are unsure about any step, consult workshop documentation or use professional diagnostic equipment to confirm correct installation and system readiness.
