Airbag control unit with part number 95910-Q5550

What does the airbag control unit 95910-Q5550 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-Q5550 manages the restraint system of Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors and decides in an accident, within milliseconds, which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

The unit is the central evaluation point of the system and checks the connected components continuously. If it detects a fault, the fault is stored and reported via the airbag warning light.

After an accident, it secures the crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-Q5550 fail?

The most common cause is crash data stored after an accident, even without a deployed airbag; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other causes that may apply to control unit 95910-Q5550 relate to age and environment.

Crash data remains in the memory even after reading out. As a result, a warning can stay on even though the vehicle runs without any visible problem.

Other possible causes:

• Aged electronic components
• Cold solder joints
• Moisture and corrosion at plug connections
• Voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or a jump-start

How can you tell that the 95910-Q5550 is defective?

A defective control unit 95910-Q5550 first shows itself through the airbag warning light, which stays on permanently or intermittently. In addition, error messages appear in the instrument cluster, the diagnostic tool cannot establish a connection, and the fault memory cannot be cleared.

These signs appear in the following places:

• Airbag warning light on permanently or intermittently
• Error messages in the instrument cluster
• No connection between diagnostic tool and control unit
• Fault memory cannot be erased

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then fail to deploy. A check is therefore advisable.
