Fitment And Application

Intended primarily for Citroën Berlingo II models from 2002 onwards. This driver airbag replaces the steering wheel airbag module and uses the factory mounting and electrical interface. Verify the part numbers listed in the Technical Information to confirm match with the vehicle’s original module before installation.

How To Replace

• Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the SRS capacitors to discharge.
• Position the front wheels straight and lock the steering wheel to prevent rotation.
• Carefully remove the steering column trim and access bolts securing the airbag module on the steering wheel.
• Loosen and remove the retaining screws or bolts, then gently pull the airbag module away and disconnect the airbag electrical connectors (note locking tabs).
• Install the replacement module by connecting the electrical plugs and securing the module with original fasteners to the correct torque specified by the manufacturer.
• Reconnect the battery and use a diagnostic tool to clear SRS fault codes and verify airbag system readiness.

Installation Recommendations

• Always Disconnect The Battery Before Starting Work To Prevent Accidental Deployment.
• Wait The Recommended Time After Battery Disconnection (At Least 10 Minutes) To Allow SRS Energy Storage Capacitors To Discharge.
• Handle The Airbag Module Carefully, Avoiding Any Impact, Heat Or Static Exposure To The Inflator And Connector Areas.
• Ensure Connectors Are Fully Seated And Locking Tabs Engaged; Inspect Wiring And Clock Spring (Spiral Cable) For Damage Before Reassembly.
• After Installation, Perform A Full SRS System Scan And Confirm That The Airbag Warning Light Clears; If Faults Persist, Diagnose With Appropriate PSA Diagnostic Tools.

Most Common Failure Reasons

• Deployment During A Collision — Airbags Are One-Time-Use Components After Activation.
• Damage To Clock Spring (Spiral Cable) Causing Intermittent Or Lost Electrical Connection To The Airbag.
• Corroded Or Damaged Connectors And Wiring Due To Moisture Ingress Or Poor Maintenance.
• Inflator Degradation Or Manufacturing Faults Leading To SRS Warning Lights Or Non-Deployment.
• Incorrect Installation Or Loose Fasteners Causing Electrical Faults Or Improper Positioning.

Notes

Airbag modules are critical safety components. While experienced mechanics and competent DIYers can perform replacements, correct handling, installation torque, and proper diagnostic verification are essential for occupant safety. Always follow manufacturer procedures and safety precautions when working on the SRS system.
