Default Seatbelt pretensioner error (Audi pre sense not available)

Hi guys!

Last time when I started my car this error appears. I have checked the error with VCDS 18.9.0.2, so I'm thinking that this error might be caused by the seatbelt pretensioner, what you guys say and what I must change to fix the problem?

need to replace the tensioners. I bought a used one on ebay. takes 30 min to replace. you will need someone to use ODIS to remove the component protection or code the new tensioner to the car. you cannot used VCDS

Did either of you get the problem fixed? I m having the same warning on my instrument cluster. Is it just the pretensioner to be replaced? My pretensioner motor seems to be working even though it shows faulty seat belt module.
