Airbag control unit with part number 95910-P2100

What does the airbag control unit 95910-P2100 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-P2100 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It analyses the crash sensor signals, decides within milliseconds in a crash whether airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system during operation.

Faults are reported by the control unit via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. Monitoring therefore runs continuously, even when nothing noticeable happens in everyday driving.

After a crash it stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-P2100 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, and Airbag24 removes it during the repair. Other causes, in brief:

• aged electronic components
• cold solder joints
• moisture and corrosion at plug connectors
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

Crash data is the finding workshops encounter most often. It cannot be removed with standard tools.

The remaining causes concern electronics and connections. Whether any of them applies only becomes clear during the test bench inspection.

How can you tell that the 95910-P2100 is defective?

A defect in the 95910-P2100 shows up as the airbag warning light lit permanently or intermittently, as a fault message in the instrument cluster, as a lack of connection to the diagnostic tool, or as a fault memory that cannot be cleared. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to deploy.

These signs do not always appear together. Each of them is already reason enough to have the fault memory read out:

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

The warning light shows the finding itself. If you ignore it, you lose valuable time until the fault is fixed.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page, and you will know it is the right unit. You should still have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only it shows whether the control unit is defective or a plug or cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-P4250.

How does the repair of the 95910-P2100 work?

Airbag24 usually completes the processing within 3–4 working days. Beforehand you read out the fault memory, disconnect the battery, and only then remove the control unit; then you create a repair order online and send in the unit.

Airbag24 tests the control unit on the test bench, replaces defective components, erases crash data and carries out a function test. Your own unit is then returned to you.

The sequence of the first steps is mandatory for safety reasons. Enclose the fault memory log with the unit.

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-P2100 get to Airbag24?

You send the control unit in as a parcel, or book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair Airbag24 returns it by UPS.

Put the printed repair order in the parcel and pack the unit shock-proof.
