Airbag control unit with part number 95910-S9500

What does the airbag control unit 95910-S9500 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-S9500 controls the restraint system (SRS) of Kia. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides within milliseconds in a crash which airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are triggered, and monitors the system continuously.

The unit reports faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. Continuous monitoring requires no intervention; it works in the background.

After an accident, the control unit stores crash data and locks itself. The consequences of this state are described in the next section.

Why does the control unit 95910-S9500 fail?

Most often it is due to crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has deployed. A normal diagnostic tool cannot erase this data. Aged components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion at plug connections, and voltage spikes can also be causes.

The crash data remains in the memory of the unit even when nothing can be seen on the vehicle from outside. That is why the fault search sensibly begins with this memory. Only after that do the other causes need to be checked.

The other causes mainly concern the electronics. Aged components and cold solder joints can cause faults, as can moisture and corrosion on the plugs. Voltage spikes from a weak battery or a jump start put additional strain on the unit.

How can you tell that the 95910-S9500 is defective?

The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up permanently or intermittently, and an error message appears in the instrument cluster. The diagnostic tool gets no connection to the control unit, and the fault memory cannot be cleared.

In an emergency, the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to deploy as long as the defect persists. The warning light reports it by itself. A separate test is not required for this; it only helps to find the cause.

Which vehicles is the 95910-S9500 fitted in?

The control unit 95910-S9500 is fitted in these vehicles: Kia Telluride ON (from 2019).

The assignment comes from the data for this part number. The vehicles at a glance:

• Kia Telluride ON (from 2019)

Compare the part number on the label of the removed unit with this page, and you will know that it is the right unit. The comparison tells you nothing more. So have the fault memory read out beforehand, because only this result 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-S9000.

How does the repair of the 95910-S9500 work?

First read out the fault memory and enclose the log with the unit. Then disconnect the battery and only afterwards remove the control unit. Next, create a repair order online and send the unit in, well packed. Processing at Airbag24 usually takes 3–4 working days.

Airbag24 checks the unit on the test bench, replaces defective components, erases stored crash data and carries out a function test. After that, your own unit is returned to you.

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-S9500 get to Airbag24?

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

Enclose the printed repair order in the parcel and pack the unit shockproof. That way it stays protected on the way.
