Fitment

Fits Peugeot 407 models from the 2004–2011 production period where factory equipment includes a driver’s seat side airbag. Compatibility depends on seat type and original part number; verify that the original airbag part number matches 96625550ZD before installation.

Function

The seat-mounted side airbag protects the torso and pelvis in a side impact by deploying between the occupant and the intruding structure. It is a single-use safety device: if deployed in a collision, it must be replaced. Proper function depends on intact wiring, connectors, and seat mounting.

Replacement Procedure

• Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors in the restraint system to discharge.
• Move the seat to an accessible position. Remove seat trim panels carefully to access the airbag module retaining screws or bolts.
• Disconnect the airbag electrical connector (typically yellow) by releasing the locking tab; do not pull on wiring.
• Remove fasteners and extract the old airbag module from the seat. Fit the replacement in the correct orientation and secure with the original fasteners.
• Reconnect the airbag connector ensuring a positive lock. Reinstall seat trims and reconnect the battery.
• Clear any fault codes with appropriate diagnostic equipment and confirm SRS system reports no active faults.

Installation Recommendations

• Always disconnect the battery before starting work and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling airbag modules and connectors.
• Do not use excessive force or probe airbag connectors with test equipment while connected to the vehicle.
• Replace any damaged clips, fasteners, or seat trim items to ensure correct fitment and deployment path.
• After installation, use a diagnostic tool capable of reading the SRS system to confirm correct functionality and to clear fault codes.
• When in doubt, have the final check and code clearing performed by a qualified technician with appropriate diagnostic equipment.

Most Common Failure Reasons

• Deployment in a previous collision — airbags are single-use and must be replaced after deployment.
• Damaged or corroded connectors and wiring due to moisture ingress or seat removal/repair.
• Incorrect repairs or aftermarket modifications to the seat compromise the airbag system.
• Mechanical damage to the airbag module caused during vehicle disassembly or interior work.

Notes

Replace the airbag only with a correct part matching the original part number. Do not attempt repairs on an airbag module. Follow all safety procedures to avoid accidental deployment and injury.
