Airbag control unit with part number 95910-F1180

What does the airbag control unit 95910-F1180 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-F1180 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. In a collision it processes the measured values of the crash sensors and determines within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. Between events it monitors the system and displays faults via the airbag warning light.

Monitoring is not an add-on but the basis for the warning when faults occur.

After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-F1180 fail?

Stored crash data after an accident is the most common cause, even if no airbag has fired; a normal diagnostic tool cannot clear it. Further causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plug connections, and voltage spikes.

The crash data are therefore the most obvious finding as soon as the control unit becomes conspicuous after an accident. An examination shows whether one of the other causes applies as well.

Voltage spikes can arise, for example, with a weak battery or after jump-starting.

How can you tell that the 95910-F1180 is defective?

A defect shows itself above all through the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up constantly or intermittently, and through further symptoms such as fault messages and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

The signs at a glance:

• airbag warning light that lights up constantly or intermittently
• fault message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool that cannot establish a connection with the control unit
• fault memory that cannot be cleared

With such signs, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency.
