Mine came on when my car hit 120K mi. I also reset it using a sequence within the car.
Problem Scenerio: turn car motor on, car conducts self test, during which time airbag light stays on for 5-second (or 5 or 6-beeps)..it turns off for a second then flashes 'off and on'...and annoys the hell out of you as you drive...especially at night.
Solution 1: put black electrical tape (band-aid) over airbag light indicator...annoying problem gone.
However, in VA the airbag light can't be flashing to pass the annual car inspection, so....
Solution 2: Reset the Airbag light using the following sequence I discovered and heard about:
1. Turn key / ignition to 'ON' (Do Not Start). and await for the self-testing procedure to end (Air Bag Light stays on for about 5-seconds or '6-beeps')
2. As soon as the Airbag light turns off - turn the ignition to OFF position and count 5-Mississippi's (that's 5-seconds).
3. Then turn ignition back to 'ON' Position and repeat step 1 & 2 again.
Conduct Steps 1 & 2 - Three times in a row.
After the 3rd or successful timed sequence, allow the car to go through it's complete self testing stage and as soon as its done the airbag light will flash...but at a slower pace (That is good!) That means the cpu is resetting. Once you observe the slow flashing airbag light, turn the car off, then start it normally and the airbag light 'should' reset (not flashing and bugging the **** out of you).
Then, take the black electrical tape off the dash panel and throw it away.
This is no joke and it really works!! if you have any questions, contact me. [email protected]
The airbag computer is indicating there is an malfunction with the airbag system. You will need to have it "scanned" by a shop that has the capability to talk to the nissan airbag control module. They will be able to retrive a diagnostic trouble code that will indicate what area in the system is causing the problem.
Its tellin you that they arent gonna work because theres a short under dash or a bad ground. or burst cylenders have leaked out

get this checked out asap. This indicates the air bag system has a problem, and may not deploy in the event of an accident. Did you just purchase the car w/ this problem, or have u had it a while? I ask, because if u purchased it w/ the blinking light, it could indicate the car was in an accident, the air bag deployed, and it wasn't replaced when repairs were made. That's the worse case scenario, get it checked, hopefully it's something not that serious. Let me know how u make out Curt

I got a 98 explorer doing the same thing... First it was code 12, replaced the 10 amp fuse, now its flashing code 52... so i gotta find the airbag diag. connector... Have no idea where it is...

Common fault on FORD
Usually due to a poor connection in the YELLOW PLASTIC CONNECTOR underneath the passenger seat.
Just push it together properly and it should clear the AirBag fault

This is common with a lot of Fords. There will be a connector underneath your passenger seat. Push the ends tightly together as this connector is known to come loose
