Airbag control unit with part number 95910-A9000

What does the airbag control unit 95910-A9000 do?

As the central unit, the airbag control unit 95910-A9000 controls the restraint system in vehicles from Kia. It records the signals from the crash sensors, determines the triggering of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners within milliseconds in the event of an accident, and monitors the system continuously.

The unit shows faults via the airbag warning light. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself, and only the repair lifts the lock.

Without this control unit, the interplay between sensors and triggers would not work, which is why it plays a key role in the vehicle.

Why does the control unit 95910-A9000 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even without a triggered airbag. Other causes include ageing electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plug connectors, and voltage spikes.

Crash data remains stored in the unit even if no airbag has been triggered. It cannot be removed with a commercially available diagnostic tool, and that is exactly why the fault persists.

Ageing electronic components and cold solder joints only show themselves during operation. Moisture and corrosion on plug connectors create transition resistances that can trigger intermittent faults.

Voltage spikes arise, for example, when the battery is weak or when jump leads are connected, and they can stress the electronics.

How can you tell that the 95910-A9000 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up constantly or intermittently, and an error message often appears in addition. If no connection to the diagnostic tool can be established or the fault memory cannot be cleared, this also points to a defect.

As long as the warning light is on, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency. The light is the system's warning to you, so you should take it seriously.

A fault memory that cannot be cleared remains a clear sign that the system has registered a fault.

First check whether the removed unit matches, by comparing the part number on the label with this page. This comparison only confirms the correct unit and does not identify the cause. Afterwards have the fault memory read out, because only this log shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-A9050, 95910-A9100, 95910-A9200, 95910-A9300, 95910-A9400, 95910-A9500.

How does the repair of the 95910-A9000 work?

First have the fault memory read out and enclose the log. Then disconnect the battery, remove the control unit and create the repair order online, then send in the well-packed unit. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

The sequence protects you: the control unit may only be removed once the battery has been disconnected.

At Airbag24 the unit is examined on the test bench, defective components are replaced, stored crash data is erased and a function test is carried out. Your own unit is then returned 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.

How does the control unit 95910-A9000 get to Airbag24?

You send the unit to Airbag24 as a parcel, or alternatively you book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair, UPS brings the unit back to you.

Include the printed repair order and secure the control unit shock-resistant in its packaging.
