Airbag control unit with part number 95910-J7550

What does the airbag control unit 95910-J7550 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-J7550 forms the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and, in an accident, decides within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

During operation it monitors the entire system and shows 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-J7550 fail?

Crash data stored after an accident is the most common cause, even if no airbag was deployed. A usual diagnostic tool cannot clear it. Other possible causes are ageing components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

The data remains in the memory, whether or not an airbag has deployed. Clearing it with normal diagnostics is not possible.

The remaining causes concern the unit itself and its connections. Components age over time, solder joints can go cold, and moisture or corrosion attack the plug connections.

Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or a jump start, and can likewise affect the control unit.

How can you tell that the 95910-J7550 is defective?

A defect shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lighting up permanently or intermittently, as an error message in the instrument cluster, as the diagnostic tool being unable to connect, or as a fault memory that cannot be cleared. In that case, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy in an emergency.

• Warning light in the instrument cluster permanently or intermittently on
• Error message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool cannot establish a connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared

A single one of these signs is reason enough to have the vehicle checked. The light is the control unit's direct signal.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. That only shows whether it is the right unit. Have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only the 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 95910-1H000, 95910-1H050, 95910-J7000, 959101H200.

How does the repair of the 95910-J7550 work?

You start by having the fault memory read out, and the log comes with the unit. Then disconnect the battery, and only after that remove the control unit. Finally, create the repair order online and send in the well-packed unit.

At Airbag24 the unit is examined on the test bench, defective components are replaced and the crash data is deleted. A function test follows before your own unit goes back to you. This work usually takes 3–4 working days there.

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-J7550 get to Airbag24?

Either you send the control unit as a parcel, or you book a UPS collection for an extra charge. The return takes place by UPS after the repair.

Put the printed repair order in the parcel and pack the control unit shock-proof.
