Airbag control unit with part number 95910-H9100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-H9100 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-H9100 belongs to the restraint system (SRS) of Kia and is its central unit. It processes the readings from the crash sensors, decides in an accident whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously. It reports faults that occur via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

The crash sensors record decelerations, and the unit evaluates the readings within milliseconds.

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

Why does the control unit 95910-H9100 fail?

The most common cause with the control unit 95910-H9100 is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed, and a normal diagnostic tool cannot delete them. Aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors or voltage spikes can also cause the failure.

The crash data sit in the memory of the unit, regardless of whether an airbag actually deployed. They are the reason why a unit may no longer work normally after an accident.

The other causes concern the electronics themselves: components age, solder joints can go cold, and moisture or corrosion attack plug connectors. Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting, can also damage the electronics. Which cause applies is determined only by the examination.

How can you tell that the 95910-H9100 is defective?

The airbag warning light lights up permanently or intermittently when the 95910-H9100 has a fault. Further signs are fault messages in the instrument cluster, a missing connection to the diagnostic tool or a fault memory that cannot be cleared. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not trigger.

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster is the clearest indication. It lights up when a fault has been detected in the restraint system and remains a warning signal even when the vehicle feels normal in everyday use.

A diagnostic tool that cannot establish a connection points to a communication problem. The cause may lie in the control unit or in a cable, and the fault memory provides information on this.

Comparing the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page only ensures that it is the correct unit. Also have the fault memory read out, because only this result shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or a cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-H8210, 95910-H8330, 95910H9430.

How does the repair of the 95910-H9100 work?

Have the fault memory read out and the log attached, then disconnect the battery and only then remove the control unit 95910-H9100. Create a repair order online and send in the well-packed unit. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

Airbag24 examines the unit that has been sent in on the test bench, replaces defective components, deletes stored crash data and carries out a function test. Afterwards your own unit goes back to you.

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-H9100 get to Airbag24?

You can send the control unit 95910-H9100 in as a parcel or book a UPS collection for an extra charge; after the repair, UPS brings it back from Airbag24. Pack the unit shock-resistant and enclose the printed repair order.
