Airbag control unit with part number 95910-R0000

What does the airbag control unit 95910-R0000 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-R0000 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) in Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, decides in an emergency within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.

Faults in the system are reported by the unit via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. Sensors, wiring, plug connections and the modules themselves are checked.

The decision is made in the vehicle itself, without querying an external body. That is exactly why the electronics must work independently and reliably.

Why does the control unit 95910-R0000 fail?

Stored crash data after an accident is the most common cause of the 95910-R0000 failing, even if no airbag was triggered; a normal diagnostic tool cannot erase it. Other causes include aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting.

The data remains in memory because the unit records the event. A standard read-out tool changes nothing about it.

The other causes are general. Ageing, moisture and salt attack the electronics slowly, while voltage spikes act suddenly.

How can you tell that the 95910-R0000 is defective?

The airbag warning light is constantly or intermittently lit, an error message appears in the instrument cluster, the diagnostic tool cannot find the control unit 95910-R0000, and the fault memory cannot be erased. In that case airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to trigger in an emergency.

The warning light is the clearest signal the system gives. It shows that a fault is present in the system.

A missing connection to the diagnostic tool can be caused by the control unit, but equally by a wire or a plug. Only the check shows which cause applies.

Both steps will help you. Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page, so you can see whether you have the correct unit in front of you. Have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only this log shows whether the control unit is defective or whether a plug or a cable is the cause.

For the same vehicles, we also repair control units with the part numbers 95910-R0100.

How does the repair of the 95910-R0000 work?

First read out the fault memory of the 95910-R0000 and attach the log. Then disconnect the battery, only afterwards remove the control unit and create a repair order online. Then send the well-packed unit in.

Airbag24 checks the unit on the test bench, repairs defective components, erases the stored crash data and performs a function test. Afterwards your own unit comes back to you.

Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days. 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-R0000 get to Airbag24?
