Fault 01589 - B5 A4

I get this fault code when scanning my airbag module... while I was scanning for a previous error. My airbag light had been on and it created a code for the driver's side seat airbag, high resistance. I had cleared it about a month ago and the light came on this past week. Cleared the code and the light came back on, now I get this... not sure what to think...

Airbag lights are not supposed to be cleard without actually solving the problems...

...what you need to do is check the wiring of your airbag system, this is something where you need special tools = dealer job. Besides, cleaning the connectors (or replacing them with those with gold pins) might be a good idea.

Trying to diagnose the problem....

It was the driver's seat, which I saw was sometimes due to a loose connection. So it came back on about 3 weeks after clearing it... but now it's a different bag.

I'm trying to figure out what the problem might be before throwing money at something that might not be the issue.
