Bad connection to drivers airbag.
I'd think you wouid have to inspect the wiring connector to it and make sure its getting a good connection.
Obviously-remove battery lead first before working on airbags.

Someone else might have a better idea..

The connector under the seat is the usual suspect, remove battery, unplug it and give the connector a good clean, usually works for me.
