Airbag control unit with part number 95910-CC300

What does the airbag control unit 95910-CC300 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-CC300 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, decides within milliseconds in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously. It reports faults via the airbag warning light.

During normal driving the unit works unobtrusively, but it constantly checks the connections to the sensors, the actuators and the power supply. This means every component is ready in an emergency.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and then locks itself. This lock is only lifted by a repair.

Why does the control unit 95910-CC300 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. A normal diagnostic tool cannot delete it. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting.

The crash data means the fault state persists, even if nothing conspicuous can be found in the electronics. That is why the warning light still shows a fault some time after an incident.

The other causes can appear gradually. Contacts exposed to moisture lose their clean connection, and voltage spikes can weaken components without causing an immediate failure.

• Aged electronic components
• Cold solder joints on the circuit board
• Moisture and corrosion at plug connectors
• Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

How can you tell that the 95910-CC300 is defective?

A defect shows itself through the airbag warning light, which lights up permanently or intermittently, an error message in the instrument cluster, a diagnostic tool that cannot find the control unit, or a fault memory that cannot be cleared. Then airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency.

With these signs, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency. The warning light should therefore be taken seriously, even if the vehicle seems normal in everyday use.

The warning light shows the fault immediately. No separate search is needed.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. This only confirms that it is the right unit. Also have the fault memory read out, because only the 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 80100-Q5600WK, 80100Q5600, 95910-Q5100-95512.

How does the repair of the 95910-CC300 work?

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

The order is mandatory for safety reasons, because the restraint system must not be live during removal.

At Airbag24 the unit is checked on the test bench, defective components are repaired, crash data is deleted and a function test is carried out. Afterwards your own unit goes back to you. The 3–4 working days refer only to these tasks.

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-CC300 get to Airbag24?

You send the control unit 95910-CC300 as a parcel or book a UPS collection for an extra charge. Airbag24 returns it by UPS.

The printed repair order goes into the parcel, and the unit is packed shockproof.
