Hi,
you need a code reader to see where the problem is. A decent one will say which airbag or circuit is affected. Don't make the mistake of using one that only does the engine, needs to be for body electrics also.

If you haven't got access to a code reader then it might be worth cleaning the connectors under the front seats as a starting point. Disconnect the battery and leave the car for 30 minutes to allow any charge to dissipate.
Then clean the contacts with some spray cleaner and a stiff brush.
Hopefully having the battery off should reset the fault after.
That was the usual suspect on previous cars due to wires moving when the seats moved back and forth.

I've also had issues with the steering wheel contacts but that can be fiddly.

I had the same. It was the connection under the drivers seat. It gets disturbed when the drivers seat is moved back and forth i.e when the wife drove it she always moved the seat.

Switch off engine....move drivers seat right back....then you will see the wires in the flooring, just take out and remove from connector..then put them back. That should sort the problem

On mine it was the streering wheel squib that needed replacing about £100 off of eBay hour to do and light went out as soon as I put ignition on
