Description
Overview
This steering wheel driver airbag is a direct-fit replacement for the Peugeot 406. Identified by part numbers 96500907ZL and 4112GT, the module restores the driver-side Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) after deployment or component failure. Frequently searched by product code, it is intended for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who require precise fitment.
Function And Application
The airbag module is mounted in the centre of the steering wheel and contains the inflator, cushion and electrical contact fittings. On a significant frontal impact the SRS control unit commands rapid inflation to reduce driver injuries. The module works in conjunction with the seat belts and other restraint components to provide occupant protection.
Installation & Safety
Installation must follow SRS safety procedures. Before starting, disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait a minimum period recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (commonly around 10 minutes) to allow system capacitors to discharge. Remove the steering wheel trim, unfasten the airbag retaining bolts, and disconnect the electrical connector. Fit the new module, reconnect the connector, and refit fasteners using torque values specified in the vehicle service manual. After installation clear SRS fault codes with an appropriate diagnostic tool. If in doubt, consult a qualified technician.
Typical Failure Modes
Airbags are replaced after deployment in a crash. Other causes for replacement include electrical faults, damaged wiring or connectors, water ingress around the steering column, or faults in the SRS control unit. A persistent SRS warning light on the dashboard typically indicates a fault that requires diagnosis and possibly module replacement.
