Airbag control unit with part number 95910-F1100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-F1100 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-F1100 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. In an accident it decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners fire, after evaluating the signals from the crash sensors.

In operation the unit monitors the entire system. If it detects a fault, it displays this via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself. The lock remains until the repair.

Why does the control unit 95910-F1100 fail?

The most common cause is stored crash data after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. These cannot be cleared with a normal diagnostic tool. Other causes are ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plug connections, and voltage spikes from the vehicle electrical system.

Crash data is memory content that the unit creates after an incident, and it remains there until it is removed in a repair. That no airbag has deployed afterwards changes nothing about this.

The remaining causes tend to develop gradually. Ageing components and damp contacts first lead to sporadic faults that can accumulate over time.

Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or from jump-starting and stress the electronics.

How can you tell that the 95910-F1100 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently, an error message appears in the instrument cluster, the diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit, and the fault memory cannot be erased. In an emergency airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then possibly not deploy.

The warning light indicates the defect and is therefore the most important reference point. Take it seriously even if the engine runs perfectly.

Have the fault memory read out as soon as the lamp does not go out or the error message returns. Only then can the condition of the system be reliably assessed.

Which vehicles is the 95910-F1100 fitted in?

The control unit 95910-F1100 is fitted in these vehicles: Kia Sportage QL (2015-2021).

The following models are recorded for this part number:

• Kia Sportage QL (2015-2021)

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. This only shows that it is the right unit. Have the fault memory read out beforehand, because the log shows whether the control unit itself 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-F1100 work?

Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days. First have the fault memory read out and attach the log, then disconnect the battery and only after that remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send in the unit well packed.

Airbag24 checks the unit on the test bench, replaces defective components, deletes the stored crash data and carries out a functional test.

Afterwards the unit goes back to you. The statement on working days refers exclusively to checking, repair and testing at Airbag24. 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-F1100 get to Airbag24?

You send the unit to Airbag24 as a parcel or book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair Airbag24 sends the unit back to you by UPS.

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