Second Hand Nissan Pulsar Steering Wheel Airbag

Yes, the Nissan Pulsar (the C13 generation sold in the UK from 2014 to 2018) was fitted with a steering wheel airbag as standard across its trim range. This is a safety-critical, single-use component, so if yours has deployed or been damaged it will need replacing. Always have an airbag replaced by a qualified technician with the appropriate SRS diagnostic equipment.

Both fall within the same C13 generation (2014–2018), so in general terms they share the same interior architecture, which is a good starting point for compatibility. However, because airbag modules must be compatible with the specific SRS control unit fitted to your car, you should confirm compatibility against your exact registration with the breaker before buying. Professional fitting and an SRS system check are essential after any airbag replacement.

The Pulsar was offered in trim levels including Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, and Tekna in the UK, and while interior specification does vary between trims, the steering wheel airbag itself is generally matched by generation rather than trim. That said, higher trims may have featured different steering wheel designs or additional controls, so confirm the exact module part number against your registration with the breaker to be sure. As always, professional fitting is strongly recommended for any airbag work.

No, the engine variant does not affect steering wheel airbag fitment on the Nissan Pulsar — this is an interior safety component matched by generation and trim, not by what is under the bonnet. Whether your car has a 1.2 DIG-T, 1.5 dCi, or another engine, it does not change which airbag you need. Focus on confirming the generation and checking module compatibility with the breaker against your registration.

Steering wheel airbags are safety-critical components and should always be fitted by a qualified professional with access to SRS diagnostic equipment — this is not a DIY job. An airbag is a single-use device, and incorrect fitting or failure to reset the SRS system properly can mean the airbag does not deploy correctly in a collision, posing a serious risk. Any reputable breaker will also advise you of this when supplying the part.

Give the breaker your full registration number, as this lets them check your exact model year, trim level, and SRS system specification to confirm the module is compatible. It is also worth mentioning your trim level (for example Acenta or Tekna) and whether your steering wheel has additional controls such as audio or cruise buttons, as these details can help narrow down the correct part. Because airbag module compatibility with a specific SRS system cannot be guaranteed without checking, always have the breaker confirm fitment against your reg before purchasing.
