Default Air Bag Light

If anyone can help, I will be appreciative. My airbag light came on and stays lit. I did a VCDS scan and it states a "Malfunction 0010". When I look at the info for module 15 it states "No Fault Code Found" see info below. What could be the issue? If anyone knows, please help,

Are you German, as your VCDS is in German? The fault you posted is for BF-gewicht sensor, which (indirectly) translates into the front passenger seat occupancy sensor.

Does the fault go away when you reset it, or come back immediately?

Also, the fault code you posted doesn’t look normal with all those serial numbers. Are you using a genuine VCDS and cable?

Start by inspecting the connections to the airbag system, including the airbag control module, the airbag sensors, and the wiring harnesses. Make sure all connections are secure and free from corrosion or damage. Sometimes a loose or corroded connection can trigger the airbag light. If you're comfortable doing so, visually inspect the airbag components, including the airbag modules and the clockspring (if equipped). Look for any signs of damage or tampering that could indicate a problem. Sometimes the airbag light can be triggered by a temporary glitch in the system. Try resetting the airbag system by disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes. Just be sure to follow proper safety procedures when disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. Since you've already performed a VCDS scan and found a "Malfunction 0010" code, it's important to further investigate this code. While module 15 may not show any fault codes, there could be additional codes stored in other modules that provide more information about the issue. Try scanning all available modules in the vehicle to see if any additional fault codes are present.

Are you a real person or is this an AI generated response? Seems like the latter.
