Airbag control unit with part number 95910-P4020

What does the airbag control unit 95910-P4020 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-P4020 controls the restraint system (SRS) in Kia. It continuously checks the crash sensors, calculates within milliseconds in an accident which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and indicates faults via the airbag warning light.

After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.

The sensors only supply measured values; the control unit makes the decision. This evaluation runs in the background while you are on the road.

Why does the control unit 95910-P4020 fail?

Stored crash data is the most common cause, even when no airbag was triggered after an accident. A normal diagnostic tool cannot erase this data. Other possible causes are aged components, moisture and corrosion on plug connections, and voltage spikes.

Crash data remains stored in the unit after an accident until it is removed during the repair. Several of these causes can also apply at the same time.

Which of these causes actually applies to your unit can only be judged from the read-out fault memory.

How can you tell that the 95910-P4020 is defective?

A defect shows up as the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which lights up permanently or intermittently, and also as an error message in the instrument cluster. Likewise, the diagnostic tool cannot establish a connection, and the fault memory cannot be erased.

• Airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently
• Airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up intermittently
• Error message in the instrument cluster
• No connection from the diagnostic tool to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be erased

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to trigger. Such a finding should therefore be clarified promptly.
