Peugeot Expert airbag control unit repair ⁽³⁾

What should I pay attention to with Peugeot Expert airbag control units?

The airbag technology used in the Peugeot Expert varies depending on the model year. Our repair services restore the original functionality of your airbag control unit for all Peugeot Expert generations, including a 2-year warranty.

The Peugeot Expert, a versatile light commercial vehicle, has been produced in several generations since July 1995. Each Peugeot Expert series brought technological advances that directly impacted the installed airbag systems and their control units.

As vehicles evolved, airbag equipment also continually improved. Early models relied on basic front airbags, while later generations utilized increasingly complex systems with additional airbags and integrated driver assistance systems managed by the airbag control unit.

Which Peugeot Expert generations are there?

The Peugeot Expert has been produced in three main generations, each with different airbag control units. The evolution of the safety system reflects technological advances from 1995 to the present.

The first generation, the Peugeot Expert I (July 1995 – December 2006), shared the platform with the Citroën Jumpy and Fiat Scudo. These models were equipped with basic airbag systems, primarily consisting of driver and passenger airbags.

The Peugeot Expert II (2007 – approx. 2016) marked a further development in terms of comfort and features. In addition to front airbags, optional side and head airbags were often used, increasing the complexity of the airbag control units.

The third and current generation, the Peugeot Expert III, has been on the market since 2016, often produced in cooperation with Toyota (Toyota Proace). These state-of-the-art models feature comprehensive airbags and are integrated with advanced driver assistance systems.

How do I identify my Peugeot Expert airbag control unit?

Peugeot Expert airbag control units can be uniquely identified by part number, model year, and vehicle identification number (VIN). Each generation of the Peugeot Expert uses specific control unit variants for optimal compatibility and functionality.

Correctly identifying the control unit is crucial for a successful repair. The part number of the airbag control unit can usually be found directly on the component. This number, along with the exact year of manufacture of your Peugeot Expert, allows us to identify the correct model and software version.

Since crash data can be stored in the control unit after an accident or in the event of a defect, precise identification is important in order to professionally delete the specific error codes and crash data and repair the control unit.

What airbag equipment does the Peugeot Expert have?

The airbag equipment of the Peugeot Expert varies depending on the model year and trim level. While early models use basic airbag systems, newer generations feature enhanced safety packages with additional airbag modules and intelligent safety systems.

The Peugeot Expert I (1995-2006) was equipped with front airbags for the driver and front passenger as standard. This provided the basic safety equipment for commercial and private users of this robust van class.

Safety standards were raised with the Peugeot Expert II (2007-2016). In addition to the mandatory front airbags, these models could also be optionally equipped with side airbags for the thorax area and curtain airbags for head protection. This offered significantly enhanced protection in the event of an impact.

The current Peugeot Expert III (from 2016) features comprehensive active and passive safety systems. At least two front airbags are standard, often supplemented by optional side and curtain airbags. These vehicles also integrate modern driver assistance systems such as emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and electronic stability control, which communicate closely with the airbag control unit.

If your Peugeot Expert has a defective airbag control unit, whether due to an accident or an internal fault, a professional repair is essential to restore the full functionality of the safety systems and make your vehicle roadworthy again.
