Overview

This passenger airbag module is designed for first-generation Peugeot 3008 and 5008 models. It is a direct-fit safety component intended to replace a deployed or faulty front passenger airbag and restore the original level of occupant protection. The part is suitable for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who understand SRS safety procedures.

Key Benefits

• Direct replacement for the original passenger airbag module for improved safety after deployment or damage.
• Compatible with factory vehicle wiring and mounting points to simplify installation.
• Includes original-style connector interfaces and mounting brackets where applicable.

Technical Information

• Model: Peugeot 3008 I; Peugeot 5008 I
• Product Codes: 9684602380
• Other Numbers: 8216XX

Compatibility

Fits first-generation Peugeot 3008 and 5008 models. Verify that the OE part number (9684602380) or the internal code (8216XX) matches the unit being replaced. This airbag is intended as a replacement for the front passenger-side airbag assembly used in these models.

How The Part Works

The passenger airbag is an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) component that rapidly inflates during moderate to severe frontal impacts to reduce the risk of head and chest injuries for the front-seat passenger. It is triggered by the vehicle crash sensors and fired by the airbag inflator module. After deployment the module must be replaced.

Replacement Procedure (General Guide)

Only experienced technicians or competent DIYers with the correct tools should attempt replacement. Basic steps:

1. Park on a level surface, engage parking brake and remove the key from the ignition.
2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the SRS capacitors to discharge.
3. Remove the trim panels concealing the passenger airbag (dash trim or glovebox components depending on mounting) following manufacturer trim removal methods to avoid damage.
4. Carefully disconnect the airbag electrical connector(s). Note connector orientation and locking tabs.
5. Unbolt the airbag module from its mounting points and remove the unit.
6. Install the replacement module in reverse order, ensuring correct connector seating and secure mounting to specified torque values if available.
7. Reconnect the battery and verify SRS system status with appropriate diagnostic equipment. Clear fault codes if present and confirm that the SRS warning lamp behaves according to the vehicle manual.

Installation Recommendations

• Always disconnect the battery before starting work and wait at least 10 minutes to discharge the system.
• Use correct trim tools to avoid breaking clips or trim pieces.
• Do not probe airbag connectors with test lights that could accidentally trigger the inflator; use a diagnostic tool for system checks.
• Follow manufacturer torque settings for mounting bolts where specified.
• After replacement, use a compatible diagnostic scanner to confirm SRS readiness and clear any stored crash data.
• If you are unsure about any step, seek installation by a trained automotive technician experienced with SRS systems.

Why This Part Most Commonly Fails

The passenger airbag typically only fails because it has deployed during a collision. Other common causes of malfunction include electrical faults such as damaged or corroded connectors, water ingress, previous improper repairs after an accident, or wiring damage from seat removal or interior work. Aging alone rarely causes deployment-capable failure; most service cases are related to prior impact events or connector/wiring issues.

Notes For Buyers

Check the listed product codes (9684602380, 8216XX) against your vehicle’s original unit to ensure compatibility. Proper installation and system verification are essential for occupant safety—replacement without correct diagnostics may leave the SRS system inoperative.
