Airbag control unit with part number 95910-G6250

What does the airbag control unit 95910-G6250 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-G6250 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the crash sensors, selects the appropriate airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in an accident within milliseconds, and monitors the system permanently during operation. It reports faults via the airbag warning light.

The monitoring covers the sensors, the trigger circuits and the wiring. Anomalies end up in the fault memory and can be read out with a diagnostic tool.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-G6250 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored in the control unit after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes, for example from jump starts or a weak battery.

This crash data remains stored until it is removed during the repair. A standard diagnostic tool is not able to erase it.

The other causes mainly concern the electronics. Moisture and corrosion impair the contact at the plugs, voltage spikes stress sensitive components.

How can you tell that the 95910-G6250 is defective?

A defect shows up on the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently, and on a fault message in the instrument cluster. In addition, no connection is established between the diagnostic tool and the control unit, and the fault memory cannot be cleared.

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

With these signs, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may possibly not deploy in an emergency. That is why you should not ignore the warning light but have the system checked.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. This only establishes that it is the right unit. Have the fault memory read out before removal, because only that log shows whether the control unit is defective or 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.

How does the repair of the 95910-G6250 work?

First read out the fault memory and enclose the log. Then disconnect the battery and only then remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send the unit in well packed.

Airbag24 tests the unit on the test bench, replaces defective components, erases the stored crash data and carries out a function test. Afterwards the own unit goes back to you. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days, whereby only checking, repairing and testing is meant.

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-G6250 get to Airbag24?

You send the unit as a parcel, or you book a UPS collection for an extra charge. The return after the repair is made by UPS.

The printed repair order belongs in the parcel. The unit should be packed shockproof.
