Airbag control unit with part number 95910-1G650

What does the airbag control unit 95910-1G650 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-1G650 manages the restraint system (SRS) at Kia. It evaluates the messages from the sensors that detect an impact and, in an emergency, decides within fractions of a second on the triggering of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The unit checks itself and the connected electronics continuously. Detected faults end up in the fault memory and are reported via the airbag warning light.

The monitored parts include the sensors, the wiring and the firing circuits.

Why does the control unit 95910-1G650 fail?

Stored crash data is the most common cause of failure of the 95910-1G650, even if no airbag has deployed. A normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other possible causes are aged components, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

The crash data remains in the unit's memory until Airbag24 erases it during the repair.

Cold solder joints are also among the causes. Voltage spikes arise, for example, with a weak battery or a jump start.

How can you tell that the 95910-1G650 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently as soon as something is wrong with the 95910-1G650. An error message in the instrument cluster is added, and the diagnostic tool cannot establish a connection to the control unit. In addition, the fault memory cannot be cleared, and in this state airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency.

A light that stays on calls for a check of the system.
