Airbag control unit with part number 95910-R2620

What does the airbag control unit 95910-R2620 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-R2620 is the central control unit of the restraint system (SRS) for Kia. It evaluates the crash sensors and decides in an emergency which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered.

In addition it monitors the function of the system and reports faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster.

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

Why does the control unit 95910-R2620 fail?

The most common cause on the 95910-R2620 is crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. This data cannot be erased with a normal diagnostic tool. Other causes are ageing electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes.

Airbag24 removes the crash data as part of the repair and then checks the remaining points on the unit.

Voltage spikes occur, for example, with a weak battery or when jump-starting. Moisture and corrosion only become apparent once plugs have been in use for a long time.

How can you tell that the 95910-R2620 is defective?

A defect on the 95910-R2620 shows when the airbag warning light stays on permanently or intermittently. In addition there is an error message in the instrument cluster, no connection to the diagnostic tool, and a fault memory that cannot be cleared.
