Steering wheel airbag removal to fix air bag light on a peugeot 406. Same unit on many other cars.

Steering wheel airbag removal to fix air bag light on a peugeot 406. Same unit on many other cars.

I had a steering wheel air bag fault, module 1, on my peugeot 406. This is about how I fixed it. This video shows how I removed steering wheel, the air bag and the dav comm 2000 unit. I will show you how to test the circuits and clock spring. In a later video I will show how I took apart the comm 2000 unit to repair a floppy indicator switch.

Great videos, even though I can't do the work myself they're very helpful.  Love the cruise control addition, how's that done?

Great vid thanks. I have a 207 that i had to replace the steering column and comms unit. I put it back together and have seat belt tensioner airbag error on display and fault code P0604, which is puc RAM error. I found the resistor that you tested with on this vid. Someone had pulled 2 wires out of the plug that goes in the back of the comms and joined them with this resistor. I have a new plug coming with all the tails so i can re solder for a good connection. Should i replace the ecu for the air bags and if i do does it need programming or proxy lining do you know? Thanks again Andy

Would love to see the Cruise Control video, thanks for the info in the above video.
My comms 200 the headlight switch is not working correctly, 9 times out of 10 they will not turn on. Is it possible to swap the indicator stalk from one unit to another? The second hand unit I got from a scrap yard is showing an Airbag fault and will not allow the car to start when fitted. I was also thinking could I swap the two circuit boards? Would that fix the problem?
Thank you

It was the same brown plug on my 2003 1.4 hdi 307! Thanks so much! I had been tucked up, haven't long bought the car. Previous owners had removed 3 bulbs form the hud center display. Replaced them to find a abs warning light and tywo airbag warning lights!

Cleared the abs by replacing the discs on the back and cleaning up the area around the sensors, adding a washer behind the bolt to clos up the gap between the sensor and what its sensing. 1 light down.. now the airbag lights, I removed and directly soldered the connectors under both front seats.. no good. then found this video, all I did was remove the plastic covers checked the brown and blue plugs out, cleaned things up and tightened them like you did at the end… presto both warnings gone!

Also had a prob with loss of power.. 3 cans of egr cleaner into the turbo later… pooof back to full power! I love the internet! keep sharing guys, help each other out 🙂

Hi I have a 308 do you think the 3.3 resister will work to test the drivers side in seat airbag as I think this is foltey. love he vid thanks

Hi, I have the same unit on my Peugeot partner. And my blinker control is not working well. It doesn't hold its position and falls. I want to ask you if there's a way to repair it without changing the whole unit. I think it is some broken spring or plastic, but in Peugeot they are asking 400€ and in other repairs 300€ for that. Please reply. And thanks for the video.

Thanks. Would definitely like to see the cruise control video.

When you dismount all these cable connections (specially for the air bag and the Comm2000) , is it necessary first to disconnect the battery of your car?

ANDREW CULLEN says:

How difficult is it to add the Cruise Control? Video please. I have an 2003 automatic and Ostio Arthritis. Can the Radio stalk be removed without removing the Steering Wheel as I find it obstructs the Wiper Stalk, Thank You
