Airbag control unit with part number 95910-Q5400

What does the airbag control unit 95910-Q5400 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-Q5400 controls the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and decides in an emergency within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

Outside an accident the unit monitors the entire system continuously. If it detects a fault, it shows this via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

After an accident the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. Only the repair lifts this lock.

Why does the control unit 95910-Q5400 fail?

For the control unit 95910-Q5400, the most common cause is an accident after which crash data was stored, even without a triggered airbag; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes are also possible.

Such data remains in memory even though no airbag was triggered. Airbag24 erases it during the repair.

Electronic components age, solder joints can turn cold, and moisture or corrosion affect plug connections. Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or when connecting jump leads, add further stress to the electronics.

How can you tell that the 95910-Q5400 is defective?

A defect on the 95910-Q5400 shows up as the airbag warning light, which stays on constantly or intermittently in the instrument cluster. Further signs are error messages, a missing connection to the diagnostic tool, or a fault memory that cannot be erased. In that case airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not trigger in an emergency.

• Airbag warning light stays on constantly or intermittently
• Error message in the instrument cluster
• Diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit
• Fault memory cannot be erased

The warning light reports the fault itself. For that reason, have the system read out promptly if the light comes on.
