Airbag control unit with part number 95910-P4120

What does the airbag control unit 95910-P4120 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-P4120 belongs to the restraint system (SRS) of Kia and decides in a crash which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy. It continuously evaluates sensor data, checks the system for faults and reports them via the airbag warning light.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself. The control unit works closely with the sensors for this.

Why does the control unit 95910-P4120 fail?

Crash data from an accident is the most common cause of a failure of the 95910-P4120, even if no airbag was triggered; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other causes include aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, and voltage spikes from the battery or jump-starting.

Airbag24 removes this data in the course of the repair.

The other causes belong to electronics in general: components age, solder joints can crack, and moisture affects the contacts.

How can you tell that the 95910-P4120 is defective?

The indication comes from the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster: it lights constantly or intermittently as soon as a fault is present on the 95910-P4120. Added to this are a fault message in the instrument cluster, no connection to the diagnostic tool, and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

If the light is on, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency. A prompt inspection of the system is therefore advisable.
