Airbag control unit with part number 95910-1G120

What does the airbag control unit 95910-1G120 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-1G120 forms the central control of the SRS restraint system of Kia. In a collision, it evaluates the crash sensors and decides within milliseconds whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

Outside an accident, the unit monitors the connections and components of the system continuously. If it detects a fault, it switches on the airbag warning light.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data. The unit is locked afterwards.

Why does the control unit 95910-1G120 fail?

On the 95910-1G120, the most common cause is a stored set of crash data from an accident, even if no airbag was triggered. Other causes are ageing of the electronics, moisture and voltage peaks.

A standard diagnostic tool cannot erase the crash data. Airbag24 removes it during the repair.

The remaining triggers lie in the electronics itself: ageing components and cold solder joints fall under this.

Moisture and corrosion at plug connections also stress the unit. Voltage peaks, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting, additionally act on the unit.

How can you tell that the 95910-1G120 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up on the 95910-1G120 permanently or intermittently. Accompanying fault messages appear, and the fault memory cannot be cleared.

In the event of a defect, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency. The warning light therefore indicates the defect directly.

• airbag warning light permanently or intermittently on
• fault message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool finds no connection to the control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared
