Airbag control unit with part number 95910-AT050

What does the airbag control unit 95910-AT050 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-AT050 forms the control of the SRS in Kia. Based on the sensor signals, it decides in a crash within a fraction of a second whether the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

It monitors the system continuously and reports faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

In a crash, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. Only the repair lifts the lock.

Why does the control unit 95910-AT050 fail?

Stored crash data after an accident is the most common cause on the 95910-AT050, even without a triggered airbag. A normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it; Airbag24 erases the crash data during the repair. Other causes are ageing, cold solder joints, moisture and voltage spikes.

The other causes in detail:

• electronic components that age over time
• solder joints that have gone cold
• moisture and corrosion at plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example with a weak battery or a jump start

That an airbag has not deployed does not mean that no crash data is present.

How can you tell that the 95910-AT050 is defective?

A defect in the 95910-AT050 can be recognised by several signs: by the airbag warning light, by messages in the instrument cluster, by missing communication with the diagnostic tool and by a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

These signs occur at a glance:

• airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, lit up
• message in the instrument cluster with a fault notice
• diagnostic tool without access to the control unit
• fault memory that persists

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not be able to deploy in the event of such a defect.

You can compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page, but this only shows whether the unit fits. Whether the control unit itself is defective is revealed by the fault memory, which you have read out beforehand; a plug or a cable can also be the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-Q4000, Q4959-10000.
