Airbag control unit with part number 95910-F6900

What does the airbag control unit 95910-F6900 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-F6900 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It processes the crash sensor signals and decides in an accident within fractions of a second which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners trigger.

It also monitors the system continuously. It indicates faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-F6900 fail?

The most common cause with the 95910-F6900 is stored crash data after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed, and this cannot be erased with an ordinary diagnostic tool. Further causes are aged electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and voltage spikes.

Airbag24 erases the crash data during the repair. The other causes can be summarised as follows:

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

Which cause applies in an individual case is only clarified by the check.

How can you tell that the 95910-F6900 is defective?

On the 95910-F6900, defects show up on the airbag warning light, which lights up permanently or intermittently, and in error messages in the instrument cluster. A diagnostic tool without connection or a fault memory that cannot be cleared also indicate this.

• Airbag warning light on permanently or intermittently
• Error message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not be able to deploy. A prompt check is therefore appropriate.
