Most likely cause is the steering wheel rotary coupler. These can be tested and replaced as a DIY job but they ain't cheap. I paid about GBP171 for mine around last October.
Took about an hour and a half to replace.

My tip would be to buy the part on the understanding you can return it if it's not fitted. It takes as much effort to disconnect enough stuff that you can test it as it does to replace it, and if it checks out fine (continuity on all seven tracks), take it back and book it in for a diagnostic report at the same time.
The most diagnostic information you'll get out of the ECU is which airbag is open/short circuited, so a diagnostic report will be of limited value, but will at least tell you which airbag is wrong.
Just pray it's not an airbag module itself. The drivers side is the cheapest at GBP 912+VAT, and I didn't get an extra digit in there, either!
