Installation recommendations
Warning: This is part of the airbag system (SRS). Generally/typically, working on an SRS requires extra care and following the manufacturer’s safety procedures. The exact steps may vary depending on the specific car model.
1) Before assembly (checks of used part)
- Compare the part numbers (9644588880, 8216CK) with the old airbag/tag on the original part.
- Check whether the module packaging is not damaged (dents, cracks, deformations) and whether traces of moisture are visible.
- Inspect the connectors: they must not be broken, oxidized or mechanically stressed.
2) Necessary tools and materials (in general)
- Basic set of hand tools (screwdrivers/ratchets according to design)
- Clean gloves and a clean work area
- Diagnostics for PSA vehicles (to check SRS defects after installation)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure (typically)
- Turn off the ignition and secure the vehicle against movement.
- Disconnect the battery (it is typically recommended to wait for the SRS system to fully deactivate).
- Dismantle the necessary parts of the dashboard according to the car model in order to get to the airbag module.
- Carefully disconnect the airbag electrical connector – do not pull on the wiring, work directly on the connector/fuse.
- Unfasten the airbag module and remove the original part.
- Compare the new and original part (shape, fit, connector, codes) and make sure everything matches.
- Install the airbag in the dashboard and fix it in the original points.
- Connect the connector and check that it is properly secured and that the cable is not stretched or pinched.
- Fold the disassembled parts of the interior back so that nothing prevents the covers from fitting properly.
- Connect the battery.
- Turn the ignition on and observe the airbag/SRS light.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and function verification
- Perform a diagnostic check and verify that no active faults remain in the SRS system.
- Check that the airbag warning light behaves normally (without continuous lighting).
- Verify that all removed interior parts are properly seated and nothing is rattling or loose.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Battery not disconnected before handling the SRS: always disconnect the battery and follow safe procedure.
- Interchangeable part by similar appearance: always check numbers 9644588880 and 8216CK.
- Damage to the connector/cabling: do not disconnect by force, do not pull on the wires, run everything without tension.
- Diagnostics not carried out after installation: without checking, you can overlook a fault stored in the SRS.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Activation in the event of an accident (detonation of the airbag) – the most common reason for the necessary replacement.
- Damage to the dashboard and fasteners after impact or after improper disassembly.
- Defects on connectors and cabling (looseness, bad contact, oxidation after moisture).
- Intrusion of moisture into the interior and subsequent corrosion of contacts.
- Incorrect handling during interior repairs (mechanical damage to the module or connector).
