Airbag control unit with part number 95910-F1380

What does the airbag control unit 95910-F1380 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-F1380 is responsible for the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It checks the crash sensor signals, decides in a collision within milliseconds about airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system without interruption.

It shows faulty states via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After a crash it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-F1380 fail?

The most common cause of the 95910-F1380 is stored crash data after an accident, even without a triggered airbag. Other causes lie in the electronics and their power supply.

Crash data cannot be erased with an ordinary diagnostic tool. Airbag24 removes it during the repair. Other causes are:

• outdated components in the electronics
• poorly connected solder joints
• wetness and corrosion on plugs
• voltage spikes, for example when starting with a weak battery

How can you tell that the 95910-F1380 is defective?

You can recognise a defect in the 95910-F1380 by the airbag warning light being on, error messages in the instrument cluster, no connection to the diagnostic tool, or a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

The signs include:

• airbag warning light permanently or intermittently on
• message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool cannot reach the control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared

Such findings mean that airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may possibly fail to deploy in an emergency. The warning light reports the fault, so it should be checked promptly.
