what does that mean? Do I need to get the thing serviced or replaced? Will it go away? I understand a new airbag would be pretty darn expensive.

thanks for any help,

The pretensioner is on the seatbelt. Yes it needs to be fixed. Look under the drivers seat and make sure the wire connectors are seated together tight. Tell the service manager the problem and get a price on the pretensioner replacement.
