The 'squib' is the wires that run between the computer and the airbag.
an ignition device to ignite the propellant
An airbag squib is a small explosive device used in automobile airbag systems to deploy the airbag in the event of a collision. When triggered by the vehicle's crash sensors, the squib ignites a propellant that rapidly inflates the airbag, providing a cushion to protect the occupants. The squib operates on a low-voltage electrical signal and is designed to function reliably under a variety of conditions. Its quick deployment is crucial for maximizing safety during an impact.
To remove the airbag squib on a 2001 Peugeot 406, first, disconnect the vehicle's battery and wait at least 10 minutes to ensure the system is powered down.
