Airbag control unit with part number 95910-F1080

What does the airbag control unit 95910-F1080 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-F1080 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) in Kia. It evaluates the crash sensors, determines in an accident within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are to be triggered, and monitors the system continuously. Faults appear via the airbag warning light.

Monitoring covers the sensors, trigger circuits and wiring. If a deviation arises, the unit saves the entry in the fault memory.

After an accident the control unit stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-F1080 fail?

The most common cause is crash data from an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. Other causes at a glance:

• ageing electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion on plug connectors
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

Crash data cannot be erased with a standard diagnostic tool. Airbag24 removes it during the repair.

How can you tell that the 95910-F1080 is defective?

A defect shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster staying on permanently or coming on intermittently, together with a fault message in the instrument cluster. Other signs are no connection to the diagnostic tool and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

• Airbag warning light stays on permanently or comes on intermittently
• Fault message in the instrument cluster
• No connection between the diagnostic tool and the control unit

With signs like these, the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy in an emergency. A check of the system is then advisable.
