Airbag control unit with part number 95910-1F400

What does the airbag control unit 95910-1F400 do?

The 95910-1F400 is the control unit of the SRS system of Kia, which evaluates the crash sensors. In a crash it determines, within milliseconds, which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners fire.

In addition it monitors all components continuously and reports faults via the airbag warning light.

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

Why does the control unit 95910-1F400 fail?

The most common cause on the 95910-1F400 is stored crash data, even if no airbag was triggered after the accident. Other causes are ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture on the plugs and voltage spikes.

No normal diagnostic tool removes this data. Airbag24 erases it during the repair of the unit.

Ageing electronics, cold solder joints and moisture on the plugs belong to the other causes. They develop over a longer period and not through a single event.

How can you tell that the 95910-1F400 is defective?

A defect on the 95910-1F400 reveals itself through the airbag warning light, which lights up permanently or intermittently. Error messages, a diagnostic tool without connection or a fault memory that cannot be erased also indicate this. In an emergency airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then possibly not deploy.

The light in the instrument cluster is the most unambiguous feature, because the vehicle displays it itself.

A disrupted connection to the diagnostic tool does not necessarily have to be due to the control unit.
