Technical Information

• Manufacturer: Peugeot (Stellantis)
• Model: Peugeot 406
• Product Codes: 96233060XX, 8972S2
• Other Numbers: 96233060XX, 8972S2

Compatibility

Compatible With: Peugeot 406 (Front Passenger Side). Typically fits model years 1995–2004 across sedan, estate and coupe variants where original equipment uses the listed part codes. Always verify fitment by matching the vehicle’s existing part code.

Function And Purpose

The pyrotechnic seat belt pretensioner is an active component of the occupant restraint system. In the event of a collision, an electrically initiated pyrotechnic charge retracts the belt webbing instantly to remove slack and position occupants optimally before airbag deployment. This reduces forward movement and improves restraint effectiveness.

How To Replace

• Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the airbag system capacitors to discharge.
• Remove the interior trim around the B-pillar and seat area to access the pretensioner mounting point.
• Unbolt the pretensioner unit from its bracket and carefully disconnect the electrical connector.
• Install the new pretensioner in the correct orientation, reconnect the connector, and secure all fasteners following manufacturer torque specifications.
• Reassemble trim, reconnect the battery, and clear any airbag or seat belt fault codes using appropriate diagnostic equipment.

Installation Recommendations

• Work Should Be Performed By Qualified Personnel Or Experienced Mechanics: The unit contains a pyrotechnic element and is part of the airbag system.
• Safety First: Disconnect the battery and wait the recommended time before starting work. Do not use impact tools directly on the pretensioner and avoid striking or dropping the unit.
• Use Proper Tools And Torque Settings: Follow the workshop manual for correct fastener torques and connector seating to ensure reliable operation.
• After Installation: Use a diagnostic scanner to confirm the restraint system is fault-free and the airbag warning lamp is extinguished before returning the vehicle to service.

Why This Part Commonly Fails

Primary Causes Of Replacement:

• Deployment During A Collision: Pyrotechnic pretensioners Are Single-Use Components And Must Be Replaced After Activation.
• Electrical Or Connector Faults: Corroded Pins, Damaged Wiring Or Faulty Connectors Can Trigger Restraint System Errors.
• Water Ingress Or Corrosion: Moisture Can Degrade Electrical Contacts And Mechanisms Over Time.
• Physical Damage: Interior Repairs Or Improper Handling Can Damage The Unit Or Its Mounting.

Replacing the pretensioner with the correct part code ensures the restraint system performs as designed. This listing references the commonly used codes 96233060XX and 8972S2 for the Right Front Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioner on Peugeot 406.

Function: The pyrotechnic pretensioner contains a small pyrotechnic charge that, when commanded by the airbag control unit during a collision, fires and rapidly retracts the belt webbing to remove slack. This action reduces occupant movement and improves the effectiveness of the restraint system in the initial milliseconds of an impact.

When To Replace: Replacement is normally required after airbag deployment, if the airbag/SRS warning lamp is illuminated with stored pretensioner faults, or when the retractor or connector shows visible damage. Common failure causes on older PSA vehicles include corrosion, damaged or loose connectors beneath the seat, or internal activation of the pyrotechnic charge.

Fitment And Checks: Confirm compatibility by matching the OEM code 8972S2 and by comparing the mounting points, connector shape and lock/pretensioner location with the original unit. This pretensioner is intended for the right front position (passenger side on left-hand drive vehicles) and is controlled by the vehicle’s airbag control module.

Installation Notes (General Guidance):

• Always disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait several minutes to allow SRS capacitors to discharge before working on the restraint system. Work in an electrostatic-safe environment.
• Move the seat to its rearmost or forward-most position as required to access fasteners, remove seat mounting bolts and carefully disconnect electrical connectors under the seat (airbag/pretensioner).
• Replace the pretensioner assembly as a complete unit following the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual; check wiring and connector condition and secure all fastenings to the specified torque.
• After installation, reconnect the battery and use a diagnostic tool to clear airbag fault codes and verify the SRS system status.

Technical Information

• Manufacturer: PSA (Citroën / Peugeot)
