Airbag control unit with part number 95910-R2420

What does the airbag control unit 95910-R2420 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-R2420 controls the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It reads the signals from the crash sensors, decides in an accident within a few milliseconds on the triggering of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and checks the system continuously.

Faults are indicated by the airbag warning light, which is located in the instrument cluster. The unit works in the background during the entire journey.

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

Why does the control unit 95910-R2420 fail?

The most common cause is considered to be crash data stored after an accident, even without a triggered airbag. Aged electronics, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes are also possible causes.

A normal diagnostic tool cannot clear this crash data. Airbag24 removes it during the repair.

Beyond that, the following causes come into consideration:

• aging of electronic components
• poorly soldered points on the circuit board
• moisture or corrosion in plug connections
• voltage spikes, for example from a weak battery or jump-starting

How can you tell that the 95910-R2420 is defective?

A defect shows itself when the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently, or an error message appears. Even if the diagnostic tool fails to establish a connection to the control unit, or the fault memory cannot be cleared, a problem is present.

The warning light is the clearest indication. If it is ignored, the state of the system remains unclear.

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may possibly fail to deploy. Therefore have the finding checked promptly, rather than hoping the display will disappear.
