Airbag control unit with part number 95910-3W600

What does the airbag control unit 95910-3W600 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-3W600 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) in Kia vehicles. It reads the crash sensors and, in an impact, decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are activated.

During operation, it checks all components of the system. It reports any faults it finds via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-3W600 fail?

The most common cause at the control unit 95910-3W600 is a set of crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has been triggered. Ageing components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion as well as voltage spikes are also possible at the 95910-3W600.

This data remains in the unit and cannot be erased with a normal diagnostic tool.

Electronic components age, solder joints can turn cold, and moisture attacks plug connections until corrosion forms.

Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start, put additional strain on the electronics.

How can you tell that the 95910-3W600 is defective?

A defect at 95910-3W600 shows up first on the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently. A fault message in the instrument cluster or a missing connection to the diagnostic tool also indicates a defect.

• Airbag warning light lights up permanently or intermittently
• Error message in the instrument cluster
• No connection between the diagnostic tool and the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared

As long as the fault exists, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not be able to deploy in an emergency.
