Airbag Warning Light Issue on BMW 3 (2001, 255897 km)

I have a BMW 3 from 2001 with 255897 km on it and recently, the airbag warning light has been on. In the app, it mentions 'passenger seat belt tensioner'. Can anyone help me understand what could be the issue and how to fix it?

The 'passenger seat belt tensioner' warning typically indicates a problem with the seat belt's pre-tensioner system, which is designed to tighten the seat belt in the event of a crash. This could be due to a wiring issue, a faulty tensioner, or even a problem with the airbag control module. As a first step, you could check the wiring under the passenger seat for any visible damage or loose connections. If you don't find any issues there, it's best to have a professional mechanic diagnose the problem, as it involves the safety system of your car. Please keep us updated on your progress and let us know if you have any further questions.
