Airbag control unit with part number 95910-1M350

What does the airbag control unit 95910-1M350 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-1M350 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, determines in the event of an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system during operation. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The unit reports a fault via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. In everyday driving, this light shows you the condition of the restraint system.

The control unit is therefore the component that bundles all messages from the system.

Why does the control unit 95910-1M350 fail?

The most common cause of failure on the 95910-1M350 is stored crash data from an accident, which remains in the unit even if no airbag has deployed. Aged components, corrosion on connectors, moisture and voltage spikes are also possible causes.

Crash data cannot be erased with a standard diagnostic tool. Airbag24 erases it during the repair.

Aged electronics and cold solder joints can impair function. Moisture and corrosion disrupt the connectors, while voltage spikes, for example from a jump start or a weak battery, put strain on the electronics.

Which cause applies in an individual case is shown by the inspection of the control unit.

How can you tell that the 95910-1M350 is defective?

You can recognise a defect by the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently. The same applies to a fault message in the instrument cluster or a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

• Airbag warning light on permanently or intermittently
• Fault message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool cannot find the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to deploy. A warning light that comes on only intermittently deserves the same attention.
