Airbag control unit with part number 95910-P2500

What does the airbag control unit 95910-P2500 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-P2500 controls the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It evaluates the sensor signals, decides within milliseconds in a collision which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system without interruption. Detected faults are indicated via the airbag warning light.

The evaluation runs throughout the entire journey. The control unit must distinguish harmless jolts from a real accident, and the evaluation is tuned precisely to that. After an accident it stores crash data and then locks itself.

For the workshop it is the central node of the system: the messages of the connected components converge here, and the diagnostic tool reads them from there.

Why does the control unit 95910-P2500 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 at plug connections, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start.

Crash data is also created when an accident was minor and no airbag has opened. The unit stores it nonetheless.

The other causes concern mainly ageing, contact and power supply. Electronics wear out, solder joints can become cold, and moisture attacks plug contacts.

Which cause applies in an individual case is shown only by reading the fault memory together with an examination of the unit.

How can you tell that the 95910-P2500 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on constantly or intermittently, a fault message appears in the instrument cluster, the diagnostic tool receives no connection to the control unit, and the fault memory cannot be cleared. In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger.

The light is the most important sign the driver will notice in everyday use. Anyone who sees it should have the vehicle checked promptly and the fault memory read.

A diagnostic tool that cannot establish a connection to the control unit also points to a fault. Whether the cause lies in the control unit itself remains open at first.

Which vehicles is the 95910-P2500 fitted in?

The airbag control unit 95910-P2500 is fitted in these vehicles: Kia Sorento MQ4 (from 2020). The assignment is based on the part number printed on the unit.

The list below shows the vehicles for which we know this number.

• Kia Sorento MQ4 (from 2020)

Before sending, two steps help. Compare the number on the label of the removed unit with this page; this only ensures that you have the right unit in front of you. Also have the fault memory read, because only that result shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-P2100, 95910-P4250.

How does the repair of the 95910-P2500 work?

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

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

Keep to the order, because it is a matter of safety: the control unit may only be removed after the battery has been disconnected.

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-P2500 get to Airbag24?

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

Put the printed repair order into the parcel and pack the control unit shock-resistant.
