Airbag control unit with part number 95910-G6100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-G6100 do?

The control unit 95910-G6100 coordinates the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It checks the crash sensors continuously, decides within milliseconds in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners fire, and summarises faults for the driver.

During operation the unit monitors the wiring, the sensors and the firing circuits. If it finds a deviation, it switches on the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-G6100 fail?

The most common cause is stored crash data from an accident, even if no airbag was triggered. An ordinary diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other possible causes are aged electronics, cold solder joints, moisture or corrosion at plug connections, and voltage peaks from a weak battery or a jump-start.

The crash data remains in the memory until Airbag24 removes it during the repair. A diagnostic tool alone is not sufficient for this.

The other causes concern the electronics themselves and their connections. How strongly they have an effect depends on the individual case.

How can you tell that the 95910-G6100 is defective?

Typical signs are an airbag warning light that lights up permanently or intermittently, a fault message in the instrument cluster, and a diagnostic tool with no connection to the control unit. In addition, the fault memory cannot be cleared.

• airbag warning light lights up permanently or intermittently
• fault message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool finds no connection to the control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared

With such a defect, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy in an emergency. A lit warning light should therefore be checked promptly.

First compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page; this only confirms that it is the correct unit. Also have the fault memory read out before removal. Only the log 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 1Y84591010, 1Y959-10110, 5WK44333, 93490G3130, 95910-07720, 95910-1Y610.
