Airbag control unit with part number 95910-2K200

What does the airbag control unit 95910-2K200 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-2K200 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides in a crash within milliseconds whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously.

The unit reports faults in the system via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. The light is therefore the way you find out about a malfunction.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself. The seatbelt pretensioners are controlled in the background via the same evaluation.

Why does the control unit 95910-2K200 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. The following further causes are also possible:

• ageing electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion at plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or when connecting a jump start

Crash data cannot be erased with an ordinary diagnostic tool. It therefore stays in the control unit until it is removed during the repair.

The other causes may develop gradually, as connections and components give way over time. That is why a fault memory read-out is always worthwhile if anything seems unusual.

How can you tell that the 95910-2K200 is defective?

Signs of a defect are these:

• the airbag warning light stays on permanently or intermittently
• an error message appears in the instrument cluster
• the diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit
• the fault memory cannot be cleared

With these signs, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency.

The light reports a fault it has detected, even if it only lights up intermittently. You should therefore arrange a check promptly.

A missing connection to the diagnostic tool does not necessarily originate from the control unit. The read-out shows what the cause is.

On the one hand, compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page, so that you have the correct unit. On the other hand, have the fault memory read out before removal. Only this log shows whether the control unit is defective or a plug or cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-2K350, 959102K000, 959102K050, 95910B2010, 95910B2300, 95910B2600.

How does the repair of the 95910-2K200 work?

First have the fault memory read out and enclose the log. Then disconnect the battery and only afterwards remove the control unit. Next you create a repair order online and send in the unit well packed.

The steps must be carried out in this order, because the safety of the system depends on it. Removing the unit before disconnecting the battery is not permitted.

At Airbag24 the unit is examined on the test bench, defective components are replaced, and stored crash data is erased. A function test follows, for which Airbag24 typically needs 3–4 working days. Afterwards your own unit is returned.

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 95910-2K200 get to Airbag24?

You send the control unit as a parcel or book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair, Airbag24 sends it back to you by UPS.

The printed repair order goes into the parcel. Pack the control unit shock-proof.
