Airbag control unit with part number 95910-K0100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-K0100 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-K0100 is the control unit of the SRS system of Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, decides in an accident within milliseconds on the triggering, and remains constantly active in operation.

If the unit detects a fault, this becomes visible via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. The warning light is thus the link between the control unit and you as the driver.

After an accident the unit records crash data and locks itself. The lock is only lifted by a repair.

Why does the control unit 95910-K0100 fail?

The most common cause is stored crash data after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. These cannot be erased with a normal diagnostic tool. Further causes are ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plug connections, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting.

Crash data is therefore not a special case but the reason why many units show faults after an incident. The unit keeps the data until it is removed during the repair.

The remaining triggers concern the electronics and their connections. Ageing components, moisture on plugs and voltage spikes from the vehicle electrical system put the electronics out of step, regardless of an accident.

How can you tell that the 95910-K0100 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently, an error message appears in the instrument cluster, the diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit, and the fault memory remains populated. In an emergency airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may possibly not deploy.

The sign is unambiguous and should not be overlooked. Whether it is a permanent fault or an intermittent problem only becomes clear from a check with the diagnostic tool.

The warning light tells you that the restraint system is not in order. So do not wait until further irregularities arise, but have the system checked.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. This only confirms that it is the right unit. Have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only the log shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or cable is the cause.

How does the repair of the 95910-K0100 work?

Have the fault memory read out and attach the log. Disconnect the battery and only then remove the control unit. Create a repair order online and send in the unit well packed.

Airbag24 then takes the unit onto the test bench. Defective components are replaced, the crash data is removed and the function is checked in a test run.

Afterwards the unit goes back to you. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days, and this time covers only checking, repairing and testing at Airbag24. 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-K0100 get to Airbag24?

You send the unit as a parcel or book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair Airbag24 sends the unit back by UPS.

Enclose the printed repair order with the parcel and pack the unit shock-resistant.
