Airbag control unit with part number 95910-P2800

What does the airbag control unit 95910-P2800 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-P2800 is part of the restraint system (SRS) of Kia and controls it. The signals from the crash sensors are evaluated, the matching airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered within milliseconds in a crash, and the system is monitored continuously. The unit reports faults via the airbag warning light. After an accident it stores crash data and locks itself.

Monitoring runs for as long as the power supply is present. The control unit checks the connection of the sensors, the firing circuits and the wiring.

This check is the basis for a fault being noticed at all.

Why does the control unit 95910-P2800 fail?

Most often it fails because of crash data that remains in the memory after an accident, even without a triggered airbag. A normal diagnostic tool does not remove it. Other causes are aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump start.

Whether the unit itself is damaged cannot be determined from this data. It only shows that an event was recorded.

The other causes arise over time. Solder joints become brittle, moisture causes corrosion on contacts, and voltage spikes put stress on the electronics.

How can you tell that the 95910-P2800 is defective?

A fault shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which may stay on permanently or come on intermittently. Other signs are fault messages in the instrument cluster, no connection to the diagnostic tool, and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

The warning light in particular deserves attention, because it reports the control unit's own fault. If there is a fault in the restraint system, the light comes on regardless of how well the vehicle otherwise runs.

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not be able to deploy during such a fault. A fault the light indicates must therefore be checked promptly.

Matching the part number with the label on the removed unit ensures that you have the correct unit in front of you. However, this match is not proof of a defect. Therefore, have the fault memory read first, because only that shows whether the control unit itself is affected or whether a plug or cable is the trigger.

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

How does the repair of the 95910-P2800 work?

Follow this order, as it serves safety: have the fault memory read and attach the log before you disconnect the battery. Only then remove the control unit. Then create a repair order online and send the unit in, well packed. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

Airbag24 then examines the unit on the test bench. Defective components are repaired, stored crash data is deleted, and a function test completes the work. Your own unit is then returned to you.

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-P2800 get to Airbag24?

Either you send the unit as a parcel, or you choose a UPS collection for an extra charge. UPS takes care of the return after the repair.

The printed repair order goes into the parcel, and you pack the control unit shockproof.
