Function And Fitment
Seat-mounted side airbags are engineered to deploy in significant lateral collisions to reduce injury to the thorax and pelvis by providing a cushion between the occupant and the intruding structure. This unit is intended as a direct replacement for the original module on compatible Peugeot 407 driver seats. It is typically used where the original airbag has been deployed in an accident or when the module or its cable assembly has been mechanically damaged.
How The Part Is Replaced
Replacement typically requires removal of the seat trim and, in many cases, the seat from the vehicle to access mounting points and connectors. General replacement steps used by professional technicians and competent DIYers:
- Safely disconnect the vehicle battery and wait the recommended time to allow residual charge to dissipate (commonly at least 10 minutes) before beginning work.
- Remove seat trim panels and covers to expose the airbag module mounting screws or clips.
- Unplug the airbag connector(s) carefully—avoid bending pins and ensure locking tabs are released.
- Unbolt the airbag module from the seat frame and fit the new module in the correct orientation.
- Reconnect the airbag connector, reassemble trim, and reinstall the seat if removed. Tighten fasteners to manufacturer torque values when specified.
- Reconnect the battery and check the airbag warning lamp. Use diagnostic equipment to clear any stored fault codes if present.
Installation Recommendations
- Always disconnect the battery before starting work and observe anti-static precautions. Store removed airbag modules with the deployment surface facing upward and away from personnel.
- Do not attempt to repair airbag inflator housings or connectors—replace damaged components with specified parts.
- Use the correct tools and follow Peugeot service procedures where available. If fault codes remain after installation, use a diagnostic tool to read and clear codes and confirm system readiness.
- If you are not experienced with SRS systems, seek assistance from a qualified technician. Incorrect installation can prevent proper deployment in a crash.
Common Failure Causes
Seat side airbag modules are generally durable and last the service life of the vehicle unless affected by one of the following:
- Deployment During A Collision: The most common reason for replacement—deployed modules must be replaced.
- Mechanical Damage: Damage to the module, inflator, or cable from tools, sharp objects, or seat modifications.
- Connector Or Cable Wear: Repeated seat movement, corrosion, or abrasion can damage the wiring and connectors leading to faults or intermittent connections.
- Water Ingress Or Corrosion: Moisture penetrating connectors or seat internals can cause electrical faults in the SRS circuit.
- Previous Improper Repairs: Poorly executed repairs or reused damaged components can lead to failures or warning lights.
Notes For Buyers
This unit is supplied with the connecting cable and is intended for use on the driver seat of Peugeot 407 vehicles requiring the listed part numbers. Because airbag systems are critical safety components, install and verify the module according to safety guidelines and diagnostic confirmation. The part numbers provided in this listing are commonly used when searching for a compatible replacement.
