Airbag control unit with part number 95910-C5100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-C5100 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-C5100 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, decides in an accident within milliseconds on the triggering of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system continuously. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The control unit shows faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. Monitoring covers the connected sensors, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners.

In everyday use the control unit does not stand out further. It only becomes visible in case of a fault or after an accident with the system locked.

Why does the control unit 95910-C5100 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed; they cannot be cleared with a normal diagnostic tool. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

Crash data remain in the unit until they are specifically removed. During that time the fault message stays visible.

The other causes may lead to messages similar to those of a defective control unit, which is why a test of the system is necessary. Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or from jump-starting.

How can you tell that the 95910-C5100 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently, an error message appears, and the diagnostic tool finds no connection to the control unit. In addition the fault memory cannot be cleared, and airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy in an emergency.

The warning light shows the fault. Once it lights up, do not wait too long before having the fault memory read out.

The missing connection to the diagnostic tool also belongs to this picture. Which component is affected is shown only by the readout.

Two steps secure the assignment. Comparing the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page ensures it is the right unit. Having the fault memory read out beforehand shows, on the other hand, whether the control unit is defective or a plug or cable is the cause.

How does the repair of the 95910-C5100 work?

First have the fault memory read out and attach the log, then disconnect the battery and remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send in the well-packed unit. Airbag24 tests it, repairs defective components, erases stored crash data and runs a function test.

Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days. Afterwards your own unit goes back to you.

The sequence serves safety when working on the vehicle, so removal follows only once the battery is disconnected.

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.
