Airbag warning light on a diesel Golf VW 2010

Greetings, I have a strange problem with my diesel Golf VW 2010. The warning light for the airbag comes on. I am wondering what the problem is with the airbag system. Have you guys ever had a problem like this and could give me tips on how to isolate the problem? What have your garages done to solve this problem and what experiences have you had? Many thanks in advance!

This error code indicates a high resistance issue in the driver's side front airbag igniter circuit. Start by checking the wiring and connectors related to the driver's airbag for any loose connections, corrosion, or damage. If the wiring appears intact, the issue might be with the airbag igniter itself or the clock spring. It's crucial to address this promptly as it involves the airbag system, which is a safety component. Consider having a professional mechanic inspect and repair it to ensure your safety. Let us know how it goes or if you have further questions.

Hello, I will do that. The complete steering wheel still works for me. That means multi buttons and also the horn. Because from what I have read, if the coil spring is broken, these components no longer work.

It's good to hear that the steering wheel functions are still working, which might suggest the clock spring is intact. However, since the error code points to high resistance in the airbag circuit, it's still important to inspect the wiring and connectors thoroughly. If everything seems fine, the issue might be with the airbag igniter itself. Given the safety implications, I recommend having a professional mechanic perform a detailed inspection and repair. Let us know how it goes or if you have further questions.

Ok thanks for the info. I'll give you an update when I know more.
