Airbag control unit with part number 95910-4D200

What does the airbag control unit 95910-4D200 do?

The control unit 95910-4D200 controls the restraint system (SRS) in the Kia. It processes the signals from the crash sensors and determines within milliseconds in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. It monitors the system continuously and shows faults via the airbag warning light.

After an accident, the unit stores crash data and locks itself.

In everyday driving it stays in the background. Only a fault brings the message into the instrument cluster.

Why does the control unit 95910-4D200 fail?

Stored crash data after an accident is the most common cause, even if no airbag has deployed, and a normal diagnostic tool cannot remove it. Further causes are aged electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes from a weak battery or a jump start.

Crash data is created as soon as the unit classifies an event as an accident, regardless of whether an airbag has deployed.

The other causes concern the electronics and the connections. Components age, and moisture attacks the contacts.

How can you tell that the 95910-4D200 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster is on permanently or intermittently, and a fault message appears. The diagnostic tool does not find the control unit, and the fault memory cannot be cleared.

Typical indications at a glance:

• The airbag warning light is on, permanently or from time to time.
• A message about the airbag system appears in the instrument cluster.
• The connection to the diagnostic tool cannot be established.
• The fault memory remains.

With these signs, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy in an emergency. A prompt inspection is therefore advisable.
