Airbag control unit with part number 95910-1M150

What does the airbag control unit 95910-1M150 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-1M150 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and, in an accident, decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. It monitors the system continuously and reports faults via the airbag warning light.

During operation, the control unit checks the sensors, the triggering units and the wiring. This continuous operation means that a deviation can be recorded in the fault memory early.

After an accident, the unit stores crash data and locks itself. Beyond this fact nothing more belongs to the description, but it determines how the repair proceeds.

Why does the control unit 95910-1M150 fail?

The most common cause at the 95910-1M150 is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag fired, and a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other causes include aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

• Aged electronic components
• Cold solder joints
• Moisture and corrosion at plug connections
• Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

Which cause applies in the specific case is determined only by inspecting the unit. Until then, all of the possibilities named remain open.

How can you tell that the 95910-1M150 is defective?

A defect in the 95910-1M150 shows up through several signs. In an emergency, the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to deploy.

• The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on permanently or intermittently.
• A fault message appears in the instrument cluster.
• The diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit.
• The fault memory cannot be cleared.

As soon as any of these signs appears, have the fault memory read out promptly. The light is a notice from the system itself.
