Airbag control unit with part number 95910-K3800

What does the airbag control unit 95910-K3800 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-K3800 controls the restraint system (SRS) in Kia vehicles. It evaluates the signals of the crash sensors and in an accident triggers the intended airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in a targeted way.

In addition, it checks the connected components for function continuously. If it detects a fault, it stores it in memory and reports it via the airbag warning light.

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

Why does the control unit 95910-K3800 fail?

The most common cause with the 95910-K3800 is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag was triggered. Ageing components, solder joints and moisture at plug connections can also lead to failure.

Crash data cannot be erased with an ordinary diagnostic tool. Airbag24 removes it during the repair.

Ageing electronic components are a further reason. Solder joints on the circuit board can become brittle over time, and moisture attacks plug connections until they corrode.

Voltage spikes from the vehicle electrical system are also possible, for example when the battery is weak or a jump start is done improperly. Which cause applies is determined only by the examination.

How can you tell that the 95910-K3800 is defective?

With the 95910-K3800 the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster burns permanently or intermittently. An error message accompanies this, the diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit, or the fault memory cannot be cleared.

Such a picture means that airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency. The warning light ensures that the fault becomes visible.

If the display goes out after starting, the entry is not necessarily erased from memory. Only reading out by a specialist workshop shows what is actually stored.
