The steering wheel airbag designed for Citroën C5 (first and second generation) is an OEM-compatible safety module intended to restore the vehicle’s frontal passive restraint system after repair. This driver airbag is frequently searched by part numbers such as 96509314ZE, 96326381ZE, 4112GF and 4112HC, so listing the product codes helps technicians and DIY mechanics find the correct replacement quickly. The module is finished in Tramontane (Color Code HZE) to match the original interior trim and maintains the factory fit and appearance.

Function

The airbag assembly is a pyrotechnic restraint device mounted in the center of the steering wheel. During a detected severe frontal impact the inflator ignites, deploying the airbag to cushion the driver and reduce risk of injury. The unit connects to the vehicle SRS wiring and interfaces with the Supplemental Restraint System control logic and crash sensors.

Replacement Procedure

Replacement should be performed by a competent mechanic or experienced DIYer who follows safety procedures. Typical steps:

• Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the SRS capacitors to discharge.
• Center the steering wheel and note the alignment marks.
• Remove airbag retaining screws or bolts (access from rear of wheel) and carefully lift the module.
• Disconnect airbag connector(s) using the locking tab; avoid pulling on wires.
• If required, remove the steering wheel from the splines (mark orientation) and inspect the clockspring (spiral cable) for wear or damage.
• Fit the new airbag, reconnect connectors, reassemble steering wheel and trim, and torque fasteners to manufacturer specification.
• Reconnect battery and verify SRS warning lamp extinguishes after ignition cycle; clear fault codes with a diagnostic tool if necessary.

Installation Recommendations

Always follow vehicle manufacturer procedures. Use the correct torque values for steering wheel fasteners and ensure the clockspring is in the neutral (centered) position before reassembly. Do not attempt to repair wiring or the inflator; replace the complete airbag module if damaged. Avoid exposing the unit to heat, moisture or mechanical shock during storage and fitting. After installation check SRS fault memory with appropriate diagnostic equipment and confirm the airbag indicator behaves normally.

Why This Part Fails Most Often

The most common and definitive reason for replacing a steering wheel airbag is deployment after a collision. Non-deployment failures are less frequent but can be caused by damaged wiring, a faulty clockspring (spiral cable) that breaks or loses contact due to steering cycles, connector corrosion, or prior improper repairs. Visible damage, deployed inflator residue, or persistent SRS fault codes are usual indicators that the module must be replaced.
