Airbag control unit with part number 95910-A7100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-A7100 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-A7100 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) of Kia as the central control unit. It continuously checks the signals from the crash sensors, decides in an accident within fractions of a second whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and stores crash data after an accident. It is then locked.

The control unit shows reported faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. The evaluation runs continuously while driving.

Without a functioning control unit, the restraint system lacks central evaluation. That is why it is worth having a defect clarified early.

Why does the control unit 95910-A7100 fail?

The most common cause is crash data from an earlier accident, even if no airbag was triggered. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

Stored crash data remains in the control unit until Airbag24 erases it during the repair. A normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it.

The other causes concern the electronics themselves and their plug connections. Cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion weaken the connections over time.

Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or a jump start and can damage the electronics.

How can you tell that the 95910-A7100 is defective?

A defect shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lighting up permanently or intermittently. In addition, an error message appears in the instrument cluster, a diagnostic tool cannot establish a connection to the control unit, and the fault memory cannot be erased.

The signs in detail:

• Airbag warning light lights up permanently
• Airbag warning light lights up only intermittently
• Error message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool finds no connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be erased

In an emergency, the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger. Take the display seriously.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. This only ensures that you have the right unit. Have the fault memory read out before any further steps, because only the result shows whether the control unit itself is defective or whether a plug or cable is the trigger.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 1Q959-10000, 95910-1M100, 95910-1M450, 95910-1M460, 95910-1Q000, 95910-B0100.

How does the repair of the 95910-A7100 work?

Airbag24 checks the unit on the test bench and replaces defective components. The stored crash data is then erased and a function test is carried out. Afterwards, the unit goes back to you.

Our repairs come with 2 years' statutory liability for defects.

The repaired control unit comes back with all vehicle data and is ready for use as soon as it is refitted — no coding or programming is required.
