Airbag control unit with part number 95910-P4800

What does the airbag control unit 95910-P4800 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-P4800 decides, in a Kia vehicle in the event of a crash, which restraint systems deploy. To do this it evaluates sensor signals, continuously monitors the wiring and triggering elements, and reports faults via the airbag warning light.

After an accident the unit writes crash data to its memory and locks itself. In normal operation it works unobtrusively in the background.

Why does the control unit 95910-P4800 fail?

The most common cause on the 95910-P4800 is crash data from an accident, which remains in the memory even if no airbag was triggered; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other causes are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture at plug connectors and voltage spikes, for example from jump-starting.

Airbag24 erases the crash data during the repair. The other causes relate to ageing, contact problems and fluctuations in the vehicle electrical system that put a strain on the electronics.

Moisture acts on plug connectors over a long period, so contacts can corrode.

How can you tell that the 95910-P4800 is defective?

The defect shows up on the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster: it lights up constantly or intermittently, and the diagnostic tool cannot connect to the 95910-P4800. The fault memory also cannot be cleared, and a fault message may appear in the instrument cluster.

While the light is on, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy in an emergency, so prompt inspection is important.
