Airbag control unit with part number 95910-1Y600

What does the airbag control unit 95910-1Y600 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-1Y600 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, decides in an emergency, within milliseconds, whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously.

If the unit detects a fault, it reports it via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself; only the repair lifts this lock.

In normal driving, the control unit works unobtrusively in the background. It is only noticed when a warning appears, which is why it is worth keeping an eye on the warning light when you get in and when you start the vehicle.

How can you tell that the 95910-1Y600 is defective?

A defect shows itself through the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which stays on permanently or intermittently, through an error message in the instrument cluster, and because the diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit. A fault memory that cannot be cleared is also a sign.

If the warning light stays on permanently, there is a fault in the restraint system. An intermittent warning light also indicates a fault, even if it does not occur all the time, and should not be ignored.

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy. The warning light therefore shows the defect, and that is exactly what you should watch before you rely on the system.

Why does the control unit 95910-1Y600 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting.

Stored crash data remains in the unit even if the vehicle drives normally again after the accident. A normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it, so the system continues to report a fault. Airbag24 erases the crash data during the repair.

The other causes tend to develop gradually. Ageing and penetrating moisture attack contacts and circuit boards over time, whereas voltage spikes can trigger a fault immediately. The cause can therefore be identified with certainty from the outside only with difficulty.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. This only ensures that you have the right unit in front of you. Have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only that shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 1Y959-10110, 5WK66147, 95910-07220, 95910-07720, 95910-1Y110, 95910-1Y610.

How does the repair of the 95910-1Y600 work?

First, have the fault memory read out and attach the log to the unit. Then disconnect the battery, only then remove the control unit, create a repair order online and send the unit in well packed. At Airbag24, processing usually takes 3–4 working days.

Airbag24 checks the unit on the test bench, replaces defective components, erases the stored crash data and carries out a function test. The unit then goes back to you.

The stated time refers only to checking, repairing and testing at Airbag24.

Our repairs come with 2 years' statutory liability for defects.
