Airbag control unit with part number 95910-1M600

What does the airbag control unit 95910-1M600 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-1M600 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) in Kia. From the sensor signals it calculates whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners trigger in a crash, and it monitors the system continuously. It reports detected faults via the airbag warning light.

In everyday use the electronics work in the background without interruption. They check connections and sensors so that a fault is detected as early as possible.

After a crash, it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-1M600 fail?

Most often, crash data stored after an accident are the cause, even if no airbag has deployed. Other causes are mainly ageing, connection problems and voltage spikes.

• aged electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion on plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start

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

The remaining points concern components and connections that are stressed over time.

How can you tell that the 95910-1M600 is defective?

Initial signs are the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which stays on permanently or intermittently, as well as fault messages in the instrument cluster. The diagnostic tool also gets no connection to the control unit, and a fault memory cannot be cleared.

As long as this condition persists, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency. Have this finding checked promptly.

The warning light is the visible message from the control unit to the driver and should therefore not be ignored.

Which vehicles is the 95910-1M600 fitted in?

The control unit 95910-1M600 is fitted in these vehicles: Kia Forte TD (2008-2013); Kia Cerato TD (2008-2012). The number can be matched using the label on the removed unit.

The vehicles in which this number occurs are shown in this list:

• Kia Forte TD (2008-2013)
• Kia Cerato TD (2008-2012)

You compare the part number on the unit's label with this page; this only confirms that the unit fits. Whether a fault lies in the control unit or a connector or cable causes the problem is clarified by the fault memory, which you have read out beforehand.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-1M100, 95910-1M450, 95910-1M460, 95910-1M500.

On the test bench, the unit is checked, defective components are repaired, the crash data are erased and a function test is carried out. Afterwards your own unit is returned to you.

Our repairs come with 2 years' statutory liability for defects. The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — no coding or programming is required.

How does the control unit 95910-1M600 get to Airbag24?

You send the unit as a parcel or book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair, Airbag24 returns the unit via UPS.

The printed repair order goes into the parcel; the unit must be packed shock-resistant.
