Airbag control unit with part number 95910-M6900

What does the airbag control unit 95910-M6900 do?

In Kia the airbag control unit 95910-M6900 controls the restraint system (SRS). It processes the measurements from the crash sensors and determines within milliseconds in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. In addition, it monitors all components and shows faults via the airbag warning light.

An accident causes the control unit to store crash data and lock itself.

Apart from an accident it works quietly in the background. If it reports a fault, the instrument cluster passes on the notice.

Why does the control unit 95910-M6900 fail?

The most common cause is stored crash data, even without a deployed airbag. A normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other reasons are ageing electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start.

Crash data is created when the unit classifies the event as an accident. A deployed airbag is not required for this.

Electronic components lose reliability over the years, and contacts react sensitively to moisture. A single bad solder joint can cause an error message.

How can you tell that the 95910-M6900 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or switches on again and again. In addition an error message appears, the diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit, or the fault memory cannot be cleared.

This can show up as follows:

• The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on or comes on repeatedly.
• The instrument cluster reports a fault in the airbag system.
• The diagnostic tool fails to make contact with the control unit.
• The fault memory remains filled after an attempt to clear it.

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may therefore not deploy with such a unit. The warning light is a reason to have the system checked.

Comparing the part number on the label with this page only confirms that the unit is the right one. Have the fault memory read out before you remove anything, because that log alone shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or cable is causing the fault.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-B0100, 95910A7300, 95910A7350, 95910B0000, 95910H9430.

How does the repair of the 95910-M6900 work?

First have the fault memory read out and attach the log. Then disconnect the battery and only then remove the control unit. Next you create the repair order online and send the unit in, well packed.
