Airbag control unit with part number 95910-3T500

What does the airbag control unit 95910-3T500 do?

The 95910-3T500 is the airbag control unit of the restraint system (SRS) from Kia. It processes the readings from the crash sensors, decides in an accident 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.

After an accident the control unit writes crash data to its memory and locks itself. The following section covers the crash data in more detail.

Why does the control unit 95910-3T500 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed, and an ordinary diagnostic tool cannot remove it. Further causes are ageing components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

Crash data stays in the unit after an accident. Even if no airbag has deployed, it cannot be cleared with a common diagnostic tool.

Components age, and solder joints can go cold. Moisture and corrosion at plugs disturb the connection.

Voltage spikes, for example with a weak battery or after a jump-start, can also affect the electronics.

How can you tell that the 95910-3T500 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on permanently or intermittently, and a fault message appears in the instrument cluster. In addition, the diagnostic tool cannot establish a connection to the control unit, and the fault memory cannot be cleared.

Pay particular attention to the warning light, because it shows the state of the restraint system. If it is lit, the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency.

In that case have the vehicle checked promptly.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 56900-3T700BNH, 80100J6500RBQ, 85010-3T500, 95910-3T100.

How does the repair of the 95910-3T500 work?

First have the fault memory read out and enclose the log before disconnecting the battery. Only then remove the control unit, create the repair order online and send in the well-packed unit. Testing, repairing and checking at Airbag24 take 3–4 working days as a rule.

Airbag24 examines the unit on the test bench, replaces defective components where needed, clears the crash data and carries out a function test. Afterwards your own unit comes back 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 95910-3T500 get to Airbag24?

The unit goes to Airbag24 either as a parcel or with a UPS collection arranged for an extra charge. The return shipment after the repair is also made by UPS. Include the printed repair order and pack the control unit shock-resistant.
