Airbag control unit with part number 95910-Q4200

What does the airbag control unit 95910-Q4200 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-Q4200 regulates the restraint system for Kia and, after an impact, decides whether the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. The decision is made within milliseconds on the basis of the crash sensors. The system is monitored continuously during this process.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. Faults in the restraint system are reported via the airbag warning light.

The crash sensors only supply data. The evaluation takes place in the control unit itself, which makes it the central switching point of the system.

Why does the control unit 95910-Q4200 fail?

Most often, the cause of failure is crash data that was stored after an accident, even if no airbag fired; a standard diagnostic tool does not erase it. Other causes include ageing electronics, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes from a weak battery or jump-starting.

Crash data remains in the unit until it is deliberately removed. Deleting it is therefore a separate intervention.

The other causes act over a longer period. Electronics that age, connections that become damp and solder joints that give way cause faults only gradually.

How can you tell that the 95910-Q4200 is defective?

If the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently, a fault is likely. Other signs include error messages, a failed connection to the diagnostic tool and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.

As long as these signs persist, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency. A warning light of this kind must therefore not be ignored.

The light is designed to make faults visible as soon as the system detects them. The fault memory then specifies exactly what is present.

Comparing the part number on the label with this page ensures that it is the correct unit. Having the fault memory read out before the unit is removed also shows whether the control unit itself 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-G5000, 95910-G5100, 95910-G5200, 95910-G5400, 95910-G5500, 95910-H2000.

How does the repair of the 95910-Q4200 work?

Before removal, have the fault memory read out and enclose the log with the unit, then disconnect the battery. Only then remove the control unit and create the repair order online. Airbag24 checks, repairs and tests the unit, as a rule within 3–4 working days.

The unit is first examined on the test bench. Airbag24 then repairs the defective components, deletes stored crash data and carries out a function test.

Afterwards you receive your own, repaired unit back.

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-Q4200 get to Airbag24?

The unit is sent in as a parcel, or you arrange a UPS collection from your home for an extra charge. Airbag24 returns it with UPS after the repair.

The printed repair order belongs in the parcel. Pack the control unit shockproof.
