Airbag control unit with part number 95910-DW920

What does the airbag control unit 95910-DW920 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-DW920 controls the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates signals from the crash sensors and, in the event of an accident, decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

It also monitors the system continuously. If it detects a fault, it shows this via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After an accident the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. Only the repair lifts the lock.

Why does the control unit 95910-DW920 fail?

Stored crash data after an accident is the most common cause, even if no airbag has deployed, and a normal diagnostic tool cannot remove it. Ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes are also possible causes.

The crash data remains in the unit until the repair erases it. The other causes concern components and connections inside the unit rather than the accident itself.

Voltage spikes can arise from a weak battery or a jump start. Moisture and corrosion damage the plug connections over time.

How can you tell that the 95910-DW920 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up constantly or only intermittently, an error message appears in the instrument cluster, and the diagnostic tool cannot establish a connection to the control unit. In addition, the fault memory cannot be cleared. In that case, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency.

The warning light is the clearest sign. It reports the defect whether it is present permanently or only occurs intermittently.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-R2110, 95910-R2120, 95910-R2310, 95910-R2320, 95910-R2410, 95910-R2420.

How does the repair of the 95910-DW920 work?

You first have the fault memory read out and attach the log, then you disconnect the battery and only then remove the control unit. Afterwards you create a repair order online and send in the well-packed unit. Airbag24 checks it on the test bench, replaces defective components, erases stored crash data and carries out a function test; processing usually takes 3–4 working days.

This sequence serves safety. The log documents the state of the system before removal begins.

Afterwards, your own repaired control unit is sent back to you.

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.
