your decent local garage should have sum sort of code reader either a snap on scanner etc and will read out the fault via the obd,replace the new part as ness,clear fault after-job done!
a code read will set you back 30 odd quid tho just to read out the fault.

The most common fault we get is the front crash sensor , as it gets all the weather , but the only way to be sure is to get somebody to , as 105epwr said , to read the DTC's present in the system and give you an idea of the faulty component , just make sure that the air bag pretensioner wires have not become disconnected under the seats is another quick easy thing to check
