Airbag control unit with part number 95910-A7120

What does the airbag control unit 95910-A7120 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-A7120 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It receives the signals from the crash sensors, calculates within milliseconds in an emergency which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners fire, and shows faults via the airbag warning light.

While driving, the unit checks the system continuously. If it detects a deviation, it creates an entry in the fault memory.

After an accident, it stores crash data and then locks itself. It therefore also serves as the memory for accident data.

Why does the control unit 95910-A7120 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even without an airbag having been triggered. A normal diagnostic tool cannot remove it. Further causes include aged electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, and voltage spikes.

• Aged electronic components
• Cold solder joints
• Moisture and corrosion at plug connectors
• Voltage spikes from a weak battery or jump-starting

The list summarises the possibilities; an examination shows which of them applies.

How can you tell that the 95910-A7120 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on permanently or intermittently. In addition, the instrument cluster displays a fault message, the diagnostic tool finds no connection to the control unit, and the fault memory persists. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then possibly not trigger.

These signs must be taken seriously, because they show that the system has detected a fault.
