Airbag control unit with part number 95910-1F100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-1F100 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-1F100 acts as the central unit of the SRS restraint system in Kia. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides within milliseconds in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and checks the system continuously.

If a fault is detected, the unit reports it via the airbag warning light. Monitoring runs in the background, and in everyday life you normally notice nothing of it.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and then locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-1F100 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag was triggered, and a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Ageing components, corrosion and voltage spikes can also be causes.

The crash data remains in the unit until it is removed during the repair. Airbag24 deletes it in a targeted way.

Further causes at a glance:

• aged electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion at plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start

How can you tell that the 95910-1F100 is defective?

A defect in the 95910-1F100 shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lighting up permanently or intermittently, and as error messages. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger.

Typical signs are:

• airbag warning light lights up permanently or intermittently
• error message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool cannot establish a connection to the control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared

The warning light being off at a given moment does not mean the system is fine. An error message is therefore a reason to have the system checked.
