Airbag control unit with part number 95910-R0300

What does the airbag control unit 95910-R0300 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-R0300 controls the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the signals from the crash sensors, decides in a crash within milliseconds which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously.

The unit reports faults in the system via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. After an accident, it stores crash data and locks itself.

Monitoring runs in the background while the vehicle is in operation.

Why does the control unit 95910-R0300 fail?

Stored crash data is the most common cause for the 95910-R0300, even if no airbag was deployed after the accident. Aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connectors, and voltage spikes are also possible causes.

The crash data remains in memory and cannot be removed with a normal diagnostic tool. The fault therefore cannot be fixed by reading out alone.

The other causes relate to ageing, moisture and stress on the electronics. Voltage spikes arise, for example, from a weak battery or a jump start, and only testing shows which cause applies.

How can you tell that the 95910-R0300 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on permanently or intermittently on the 95910-R0300, and a fault message appears in the instrument cluster. In addition, the diagnostic tool cannot connect to the control unit, or the fault memory cannot be cleared.

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may then not trigger. A defect is therefore not a minor matter but calls for prompt testing.

If you notice any of these signs, have the system examined soon.

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page; this only confirms that you have the right unit. Have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only that 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 95910-R0100.

How does the repair of the 95910-R0300 work?

First have the fault memory read out and attach the log, then disconnect the battery and only then remove the 95910-R0300. Afterwards create a repair order online and pack the unit well. Airbag24 tests it on the test bench, repairs defective components, erases stored crash data and carries out a function test, after which your own unit is sent back. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

The log helps the test, because it records the stored faults.

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-R0300 get to Airbag24?

You send the 95910-R0300 as a parcel, or you book a UPS collection for an extra charge. After the repair, Airbag24 returns it to you by UPS.

Put the printed repair order into the parcel and pack the control unit shock-resistant.
