Function And Fitment
This is a seat-mounted side airbag intended for the driver’s seat. Its primary function is to provide lateral protection in a side impact by deploying rapidly when instructed by the vehicle’s SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) control unit. The part is intended for Peugeot 206 variants factory-equipped with seat side airbags; fitment must match the vehicle’s original seat trim and connector layout. Color: Grey Cachemire (HYK) to match interior upholstery on applicable trims.
Replacement Procedure
Basic replacement steps (general guidance):
- Disconnect the vehicle battery (negative terminal) and wait the recommended time for the SRS capacitors to discharge (follow manufacturer guidance) before starting work.
- Adjust or remove the seat to access fasteners and electrical connectors. In many cases you must unbolt the seat from the rails to gain full access.
- Carefully disconnect the airbag electrical connector(s) located beneath the seat; note connector orientation and locking clips.
- Remove the old airbag module from the seat frame and install the replacement, ensuring correct alignment and secure fastening.
- Reconnect connectors, torque seat mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications, and reconnect the battery. Verify SRS warning lamp behaviour; a persistent SRS warning requires diagnostic reading by a qualified technician.
Why This Part Most Often Fails
- Deployment During A Collision: Airbags are single-use devices and must be replaced after deployment.
- Electrical Faults Or Connector Damage: Corrosion, broken pins, or damaged wiring under the seat can interrupt the circuit and render the module non-functional.
- Mechanical Damage Or Wear: Physical damage to the seat structure or airbag housing from previous repairs or accidents can compromise the unit.
- Moisture Ingress: Exposure to moisture from spills or leaks can corrode contacts or sensors associated with the airbag circuit.
Installation Recommendations
- Always follow Peugeot/Stellantis service procedures and safety precautions when working on SRS components.
- Disconnect the battery and allow the specified discharge time before touching airbag connectors.
- Use appropriate tools and observe correct connector engagement; damaged connectors should be replaced rather than repaired with temporary fixes.
- After replacement, check the SRS warning lamp and, if necessary, read fault codes with a compatible diagnostic tool to confirm system readiness.
- If you are not experienced with SRS systems, have the replacement performed or verified by a professional technician.
