Airbag control unit with part number 95910-Q5000

What does the airbag control unit 95910-Q5000 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-Q5000 is the central control unit of the SRS for Kia. It reads the crash sensors and decides in an accident within milliseconds on airbags and seatbelt pretensioners.

The system is monitored continuously, and faults appear on the airbag warning light. The unit therefore checks in the background and acts in an emergency.

An accident causes crash data to be stored and the unit to be locked.

Why does the control unit 95910-Q5000 fail?

The most common cause at the 95910-Q5000 is stored crash data, even without a triggered airbag, which a normal diagnostic tool does not remove. Ageing components, cold solder joints, moisture and voltage spikes are also possible causes.

Crash data arises from an accident, even if no airbag has been triggered. It stays in the memory until Airbag24 removes it in a targeted way during the repair.

Electronic components age, and solder joints can turn cold. Both have a greater effect under load.

Moisture and corrosion at plug connectors create transition resistances. Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or from starting with external power.

How can you tell that the 95910-Q5000 is defective?

The airbag warning light lights up continuously or intermittently, an error message appears in the instrument cluster, the diagnostic tool does not find the control unit, or the fault memory cannot be cleared. Then airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in an emergency.

The warning light is the most important signal the vehicle gives. If it is lit, there is no reason to wait, but a check is needed.

An error message in the instrument cluster and a fault memory that cannot be reset confirm the suspicion of a fault in the system.

Which vehicles is the 95910-Q5000 fitted in?

Before removal, compare the part number on the label with this page, because this confirms that you have the right unit. Then have the fault memory read out. Only this result shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 80100-Q5600WK, 80100Q5600, 95910-Q5100-95512.

How does the repair of the 95910-Q5000 work?

The fault memory is read out beforehand and the log is enclosed. You disconnect the battery before the control unit is removed. Online follows the repair order, then the unit is sent in. At Airbag24 processing usually takes 3–4 working days.

At Airbag24 the unit is checked, defective components are repaired, the crash data is deleted, and a function test follows. Then your own unit goes back 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-Q5000 get to Airbag24?

Either you send the control unit 95910-Q5000 as a parcel, or you book a UPS collection for an extra charge. Airbag24 returns the unit by UPS.

Packed shockproof and with the printed repair order in the parcel, the unit is ready.
