Default Air Bag

I have Audi4 1998. A couple months ago air bag lights have came on, suddenly, without any accident.
I tested air bag controler with VAG-COM Version: Release 311.2-N, and there is:
2 Faults Found:
01217 - Side Airbag Igniter: Driver Side (N199)
32-10 - Resistance too High - Intermittent
01218 - Side Airbag Igniter: Passenger Side (N200)
32-00 - Resistance too High

any suggestion what it could be? what I have to do?
I'll appreciate any advise!
Thank you!

Default Check to make sure the plugs under the seats are tight, then clear the codes & see if it ...

comes back on.

When the same thing happened on mine, that took care of it.

It was only one side on mine though.

Default Like Andy said, clear the code and see if it comes back.

I'm currently pursuing Audi of America and my dealer on this issue. It seems to be VERY common on the first generation side airbags. They are scheduled for replacement with the fronts 14 years from mfg. date, but go before that. My advise is to open a case with Audi and schedule an appointment with your local dealer.
