Airbag control unit with part number 95910-4U150

What does the airbag control unit 95910-4U150 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-4U150 mediates between the crash sensors and the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. In a crash it decides within milliseconds what is triggered, and monitors the state of the system. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The unit recognises deviations in the sequence and assesses them continuously.

If it detects a fault, the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up.

Why does the control unit 95910-4U150 fail?

The most common cause on the 95910-4U150 is crash data stored after an accident, even where no airbag has deployed. Ageing electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion, and voltage spikes can also cause the failure.

Crash data cannot be erased with a standard diagnostic tool. Airbag24 removes it during the repair.

Electronic components age with time, and solder joints can go cold. Moisture and corrosion at plug connections disturb the contact.

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

How can you tell that the 95910-4U150 is defective?

A defect on the 95910-4U150 shows mainly on the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up continuously or intermittently.

These signs also occur:

• error message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool cannot reach the control unit
• fault memory cannot be erased

With such signs, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency.
