Airbag control unit with part number 95910-A9600

What does the airbag control unit 95910-A9600 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-A9600 controls the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in Kia vehicles. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, decides on triggering within milliseconds in an emergency and monitors the system continuously. It reports faults via the airbag warning light.

The sensors supply the measured values; the control unit makes the decision.

After an accident, the unit stores crash data and locks itself. This is a fixed property of the system; more on this in the next section.

Why does the control unit 95910-A9600 fail?

The most common cause is crash data from an earlier accident, which a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase. Further causes of a failure of the 95910-A9600 are listed below:

• aged electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion at plug connectors
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

Crash data is also created when no airbag has deployed. The unit stores it nonetheless, and it stays in memory until the repair.

The other causes are hard to tell apart without testing. Only an examination on the test bench brings clarity.

How can you tell that the 95910-A9600 is defective?

A defect in the 95910-A9600 shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster staying on permanently or only from time to time, as an error message and as a diagnostic tool that cannot establish a connection. The fault memory then cannot be cleared, and in an emergency airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy.

The warning light is the clearest indication of a fault in the restraint system. It lights because the control unit has found a fault.

When the ignition is switched on, the system runs a brief test. If the light stays on afterwards, there is a fault, which the fault memory describes in more detail.

An error message on the display should therefore be taken seriously, even if the car otherwise drives normally.
