Airbag control unit with part number 95910-D9150

What does the airbag control unit 95910-D9150 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-D9150 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, decides in a crash within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously. It reports faults via the airbag warning light.

While driving, the unit works unobtrusively in the background. It checks the connections to sensors, actuators and the power supply continuously, so that every component is ready in an emergency.

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

Why does the control unit 95910-D9150 fail?

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

The crash data keep the fault state in place, even if the electronics show no detectable defect. This is why the warning light still reports a fault long after an incident.

The other causes can act gradually. Contacts lose their clean connection in the presence of moisture, and voltage spikes can weaken components without causing an immediate failure.

• Aged electronic components
• Dry joints
• Moisture and corrosion on plug connectors
• Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

How can you tell that the 95910-D9150 is defective?

A defect shows up as the airbag warning light lighting up permanently or intermittently, as an error message in the instrument cluster, as a lack of connection to the diagnostic tool, and as a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

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

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

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. This only confirms that it is the correct unit. Have the fault memory read out before removal, 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 95910-3W800, 95910-D9000, 95910-F1000, 95910-F1070, 959100Z200.

How does the repair of the 95910-D9150 work?

First read out the fault memory and enclose the log. Then disconnect the battery and only afterwards 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.

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

At Airbag24 the unit is examined on the test bench. Defective components are repaired, stored crash data are erased and a function test is then carried out. Afterwards your own unit is returned to you. The 3–4 working days refer only to this check and repair.

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-D9150 get to Airbag24?

You send the unit as a parcel or book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair Airbag24 returns it by UPS.

Put the printed repair order in the parcel and pack the unit shock-resistant.
