Airbag control unit with part number 95910-3W110

What does the airbag control unit 95910-3W110 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-3W110 is the control centre of the restraint system (SRS) at Kia. It evaluates the crash sensors, determines within milliseconds in a crash whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously.

The unit reports faults via the airbag warning light. After a crash it stores crash data and locks itself, and only the repair lifts this lock.

Why does the control unit 95910-3W110 fail?

Most often the cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. A standard diagnostic tool cannot remove it. Other causes are component ageing, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion, as well as voltage spikes.

The following points come into question in detail:

• ageing of electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture or corrosion at connectors
• voltage spikes, for example with a weak battery or jump-starting

How can you tell that the 95910-3W110 is defective?

A defect shows itself through the airbag warning light, which lights up constantly or intermittently, and through fault messages in the instrument cluster. In addition the control unit cannot be reached by the diagnostic tool, and the fault memory remains.

Typical indications are:

• airbag warning light on constantly or intermittently
• fault message in the instrument cluster
• no connection between the diagnostic tool and the control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy. If you notice such signs, have the vehicle checked promptly.
