Airbag control unit with part number 95910-3R200

What does the airbag control unit 95910-3R200 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-3R200 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It measures via the crash sensors what happens in an impact and, within milliseconds, determines which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

Diagnosis runs in the background and shows faults via the airbag warning light.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-3R200 fail?

Most often the cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has fired. Normal diagnostic tools cannot reset it; other causes are ageing electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plugs, and voltage spikes.

Crash data is created when the unit records an accident. It stays in memory even if no seatbelt pretensioners or airbags were triggered. A normal diagnostic tool cannot reset it, so the fault persists.

The other causes are more technical in nature. Ageing electronic components are just as possible as cold solder joints on the circuit board. Moisture and corrosion attack plug connections and lead to contact problems.

Voltage spikes also belong here, for example from a weak battery or a jump start.

How can you tell that the 95910-3R200 is defective?

The defect shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently, as fault messages, as a diagnostic tool without connection and as a fault memory that cannot be cleared. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger.

The light shows that the control unit has detected a fault. If it no longer goes out, the system should be checked.

If you compare the part number on the label with this page, you know you have the matching unit. However, that says nothing about whether it is defective. So have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only this log shows whether the control unit is the cause or a plug or a cable is.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910F6500.

How does the repair of the 95910-3R200 work?

First have the fault memory read out; the log goes into the parcel with the unit. Then disconnect the battery, remove the control unit 95910-3R200, create the repair order online and send the unit in well packed.

Afterwards Airbag24 checks the unit on the test bench, repairs defective components, erases the crash data and carries out a functional test. Processing usually takes 3–4 working days, after which the 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.
