Airbag control unit with part number 95910-C5400

What does the airbag control unit 95910-C5400 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-C5400 forms the central switching unit of the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It checks the messages from the crash sensors and decides in an emergency within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners fire, while it monitors the entire system in the background.

If it detects a fault, it reports it via the airbag warning light. After an accident, it stores crash data and is locked afterwards.

Why does the control unit 95910-C5400 fail?

Most often this is due to crash data from an earlier accident, even if no airbag triggered; a normal diagnostic tool cannot remove them. In addition there are aged components, corrosion at plug connectors, cold solder joints, moisture and voltage spikes.

Without an accident, these causes come into consideration:

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

How can you tell that the 95910-C5400 is defective?

A defect shows up as an airbag warning light that stays on permanently or intermittently, as a fault message in the instrument cluster, as a missing connection to the control unit at the diagnostic tool, or as a fault memory that cannot be erased. Then airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency.

The warning light in the instrument cluster is the clearest sign, because it shows the fault as soon as the system detects it. If the light is on, have the system checked promptly.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page; this tells you whether it is the matching unit. Which cause the failure has is not yet shown by that. Only reading out the fault memory beforehand shows whether the control unit itself is affected or whether a plug or cable is the cause.
