Airbag control unit with part number 95910-A7200

What does the airbag control unit 95910-A7200 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-A7200 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) in Kia. From the signals of the crash sensors it calculates in a crash which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, within milliseconds. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The unit monitors the state of the system continuously. If it detects a deviation, it indicates this via the airbag warning light.

Why does the control unit 95910-A7200 fail?

Stored crash data is the most common cause with the 95910-A7200, even where no airbag has deployed. Ageing components, cold solder joints, moisture on plug connections and voltage spikes are also possible causes.

Stored crash data cannot be erased with a standard diagnostic tool. Airbag24 erases it during the repair.

The other causes affect electronics and connections: components age, solder joints go cold, moisture attacks contacts, and voltage spikes, for example from a jump start, stress the unit.

How can you tell that the 95910-A7200 is defective?

A defect on the 95910-A7200 shows as an airbag warning light in the instrument cluster that lights up continuously or intermittently, as well as an error message in the instrument cluster.

These indications can be summarised as follows:

• Error message is shown in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool cannot reach the control unit
• Fault memory remains after an attempt to erase it

In these cases, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency.
