Airbag control unit with part number 95910-K8100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-K8100 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-K8100 controls the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It receives the signals from the crash sensors, determines in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners fire, and monitors the system continuously.

It indicates faults via the airbag warning light. After an accident it stores crash data and then locks itself.

This makes the unit one of the most important components in the vehicle, whose condition should be kept in view on a regular basis.

Why does the control unit 95910-K8100 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other causes are:

• aged electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion on plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start

The control unit records crash data as soon as the sensors rate an impact as relevant. Whether an airbag has deployed does not follow from this.

Airbag24 erases the data during the repair, because this does not succeed with an ordinary diagnostic tool.

How can you tell that the 95910-K8100 is defective?

An airbag warning light that lights up constantly or intermittently, a fault message in the instrument cluster, and a diagnostic tool without a connection to the control unit are the typical signs. A fault memory that cannot be cleared also belongs here. In that case, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency.

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster is the clearest warning sign. Whether it lights up constantly or only intermittently makes no difference to the decision to have the unit checked.

A fault message in the instrument cluster may also appear. If the connection to the diagnostic tool fails or the fault memory remains after an attempt to clear it, this too points to a problem.

Have the finding checked promptly, because the protective effect may be impaired in an emergency.

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

How does the repair of the 95910-K8100 work?

First have the fault memory read out and enclose the log. Then disconnect the battery and only then remove the control unit. Afterwards create a repair order online and send the well-packed unit in. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

The sequence is set for safety reasons, so that the system is not live during removal.

Airbag24 examines the unit on the test bench, repairs or replaces defective components, erases the stored crash data and carries out a function test. Afterwards your own unit is returned to you.
