Airbag control unit with part number 95910-3U000

What does the airbag control unit 95910-3U000 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-3U000 is the central control unit of the SRS restraint system of Kia. It evaluates sensor data and decides in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

At the same time it monitors the entire system and reports faults via the airbag warning light. This way the driver quickly learns when something is wrong.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself. Only the repair lifts the lock.

Why does the control unit 95910-3U000 fail?

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

The crash data is removed during the repair at Airbag24. This is the step that gives the unit back its function for a new diagnosis.

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

How can you tell that the 95910-3U000 is defective?

A defect in the 95910-3U000 shows as the airbag warning light, which stays on permanently or intermittently. In addition there is an error message in the instrument cluster, a missing connection of the diagnostic tool and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

The warning light is the most important feedback the vehicle gives you. Do not switch it off; have its cause clarified while the problem persists.

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may possibly not trigger. The warning should therefore be checked promptly.
