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.
