Airbag control unit with part number 95910-F6100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-F6100 do?

As the central control unit, the airbag control unit 95910-F6100 represents the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and decides in an emergency within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

While driving it monitors the system continuously and reports faults via the airbag warning light. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

The control unit works closely with sensors, wiring and firing modules. A fault can therefore arise in several places, not only in the unit itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-F6100 fail?

The most common cause for 95910-F6100 is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. Ageing components, moisture at plugs and voltage spikes are also considered.

Crash data remains in memory even if no airbag has been triggered. An ordinary diagnostic tool cannot remove it. Airbag24 takes over this task during the repair.

Electronic components age, and solder joints can become cold or cracked over time. Moisture and corrosion at plug connections disturb the signal transmission, which the control unit registers as a fault.

Voltage spikes in the vehicle electrical system, for example with a weak battery or when connected to a jump-start, can additionally load components.

How can you tell that the 95910-F6100 is defective?

A defect at the 95910-F6100 is recognised by the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, by a fault message in the instrument cluster, by a missing connection to the diagnostic tool, and by a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster shows the state of the system. It either lights up permanently or only intermittently, and a message appears on the display at the same time.

If there is no connection to the control unit or the fault memory cannot be emptied, have the system checked. Airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not be able to trigger in an emergency.

Comparing the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page only ensures that the unit is the correct one. Please have the fault memory read out beforehand; this log alone shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910F6500.

How does the repair of the 95910-F6100 work?

First have the fault memory read out and enclose the log, then disconnect the battery and remove the control unit 95910-F6100. Afterwards create the repair order online and send the unit in well packed. The processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

The order is fixed for safety reasons. The unit is removed only once the battery is disconnected, and afterwards you pack it so that it does not move in the carton.

At Airbag24 the unit is examined on the test bench, defective components are replaced, the crash data is deleted and a function test is carried out. 3–4 working days are planned for this.

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-F6100 get to Airbag24?

You send the control unit 95910-F6100 as a parcel or book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair Airbag24 returns it by UPS.
