Airbag control unit with part number 95910-M7300

What does the airbag control unit 95910-M7300 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-M7300 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) at Kia. It processes the measured values of the crash sensors, decides in an accident whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and checks the system continuously. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

Faults in the system appear via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. This makes faults noticeable before they have greater consequences.

Why does the control unit 95910-M7300 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. In addition, ageing electronic components, dry solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start, can lead to failures.

Crash data remains inaccessible when read out with a conventional diagnostic tool. At Airbag24 it is erased during the repair.

Electronics age, and solder connections can go cold over time. Moisture and corrosion on the plugs also attack the control unit.

How can you tell that the 95910-M7300 is defective?

Typical signs are an airbag warning light in the instrument cluster that lights up permanently or intermittently, a fault message in the instrument cluster, no connection between the diagnostic tool and the control unit, and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

• airbag warning light on permanently or intermittently
• fault message in the instrument cluster
• diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not be able to deploy with such a defect. The warning light is therefore a clear signal that you should not ignore.

You can compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page. This confirms that it is the correct unit. Whether the control unit itself is defective or a plug or cable is the cause only becomes clear from a fault memory read out beforehand.

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-M7300 work?

The sequence is fixed for safety reasons. First have the fault memory read out and attach the log, then disconnect the battery and only then remove the control unit 95910-M7300. Then create a repair order online and pack the unit carefully for dispatch. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

Airbag24 examines the unit on the test bench, replaces defective components, erases the crash data and carries out a function test. You then receive your own unit back.

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.

How does the control unit 95910-M7300 get to Airbag24?

You send the unit as a parcel, or you book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair, Airbag24 sends it back by UPS.

The printed repair order belongs in the parcel. The control unit must be packed shock-proof.
