The airbag light of this vehicle turns on and I diagnosed it, and it detects as follows:

1. B1801: Open in driver squib circuit
2. B1811: Open in driver squib circuit second step
3. B1906: Open in pretensioner circuit LH.
Then I began to check, and noticed that the seat belt pretensioner connector was not plugged in, I plugged it in, and changed the spiral cable, and the fault codes changed from:
B1801 changes to B1800
B1811 changes to B1810
B1906 remains, then I loop Positive and Negative circuit with wire, and it changes to B1905.
At this point, I become stocked, is it the steering pad and seat belt that need to be replaced?
