Airbag control unit with part number 95910-K0800

What does the airbag control unit 95910-K0800 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-K0800 is the control unit of the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It processes the crash sensor signals, decides within milliseconds in an accident whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and reports faults via the airbag warning light.

The unit monitors the system throughout operation. If it detects an irregularity, it stores it in the fault memory.

After an accident it creates crash data and then locks itself. It is therefore also the memory for the accident data.

Why does the control unit 95910-K0800 fail?

Crash data from an accident is the most common cause, even when no airbag has been triggered. A normal diagnostic tool does not remove it. Other causes include aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, and voltage spikes.

• Ageing of electronic components
• Cold solder joints
• Moisture and corrosion at plug connectors
• Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

When narrowing things down, the findings of an examination help; a suspicion alone is not enough.

How can you tell that the 95910-K0800 is defective?

A defect shows itself through the airbag warning light, which stays on permanently or intermittently. Fault messages in the instrument cluster and a diagnostic tool without a connection to the control unit are also signs. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not trigger.

• Airbag warning light on permanently or intermittently
• Fault message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool without connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be cleared

The warning light indicates a condition that must be checked.
