Airbag control unit with part number 95910-K0150

What does the airbag control unit 95910-K0150 do?

The control unit 95910-K0150 from Kia is the airbag control unit of the restraint system. It evaluates the crash sensors and determines which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy in a collision, within milliseconds.

In addition, it monitors the system permanently. A detected fault is stored in the memory and displayed via the airbag warning light.

In an accident, the unit writes crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-K0150 fail?

Crash data from an accident is the most common cause, even if no airbag has deployed, and a standard diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other causes in the control unit 95910-K0150 are aged electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plugs, and voltage spikes.

The entries remain in the memory. Without deliberate removal, the fault is therefore not resolved by simply reading it out.

The other causes tend to develop gradually: components age, solder joints lose their hold over time, moisture causes contacts to corrode, and voltage spikes occur, for example, with a weak battery or a jump start.

How can you tell that the 95910-K0150 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster is the most important sign; it lights up permanently or intermittently. Fault messages, a lost connection between the diagnostic tool and the control unit 95910-K0150, and a fault memory that cannot be cleared also indicate this.

These signs at a glance:

• Warning light in the instrument cluster, permanently or intermittently
• Fault message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool without connection to the control unit
• Fault memory that cannot be cleared

With these signs, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may possibly not deploy in an emergency. An early check is therefore worthwhile.

Comparing the part number on the removed unit with this page only confirms that it is the correct unit. It does not establish the condition of the unit. Therefore have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only this result shows whether the control unit is defective.

How does the repair of the 95910-K0150 work?

The sequence serves safety: first read out the fault memory and enclose the log, then disconnect the battery and afterwards remove the control unit 95910-K0150. Then create a repair order online and send the unit in well packed. Airbag24 needs 3–4 working days for checking, repairing and testing.

Airbag24 checks the unit on the test bench, replaces defective components, deletes the stored crash data and carries out a function test. After that, the 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.
