Airbag control unit with part number 95910-4C010

What does the airbag control unit 95910-4C010 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-4C010 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It processes the crash sensor data and decides in a crash, within milliseconds, whether the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. After an accident it locks itself.

The unit continuously checks the connections to all triggers. If it finds a fault, the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up and the fault is stored.

Why does the control unit 95910-4C010 fail?

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

The crash data stays in the unit until it is removed during the repair. The fact that the airbags did not deploy changes nothing.

The other causes lie in the electronics. Components age, solder joints can go cold, and moisture or corrosion at plug connections disrupts signal transmission. Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start, can damage the unit.

How can you tell that the 95910-4C010 is defective?

A defect shows itself through the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently. Added to this are an error message, the diagnostic tool having no connection to the control unit, and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

The signs at a glance:

• airbag warning light on permanently or intermittently
• error message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not trigger.
