Only if you go to the dealership. I suggest if you own this car and plan on keeping it for a bit get your self Chilton Repair manual and Haynes repair manual. You can at least be familiar with what and how somethings repaired so you could avoid a costly repair. If a mechanic sense you dont know much about cars watch out. These manual have wiring schematics and diagrams indicating where fuses and relas are located. The manuals are vehicle specific so youd ask for Chevy 2010 Chevrolet Impala. Having some knowledge is better than none and no it's not an expensive repair if you are doing it yourself.

I have the same issue (which comes and goes often).
It is caused by a loose wire connection, used for the drivers side airbag located in the seat.. The connector for mine is located under the front drivers seat. There are a couple of connectors that are connected to a bar under the front of the seat. I don't recall which one is used for the Airbag sensor.

When the airbag light is on it means a fault has occurred in the system and the airbag diagnostic monitor has disabled the system, the most common problem that turns the light on is a break in the connection to the steering wheel mounted airbag, this is due to a rotating ribbon contact that breaks under the steering wheel that connects the airbag to the wiring harness and the diagnostic monitor, the part is called th clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the wheel

The airbag light has absolutely noting to do with the engine starting unless it is because the airbag module is losing power at the same time that some engine component is losing power due to a defective ignition, battery, or ground circuit.
The best thing to do is to scan your computer network for possible fault codes that may lead you to the cause. Please note that I said "computer network", NOT engine control module. Most generic OBD code readers (like those used at many parts stores as a sales tool to sell you a bunch of stuff you don't need) cannot access anything but the continuous memory in the engine control module....you need to scan ALL modules.

This light blinking indicates the Airbag system has been shut off due a fault being detected in the controls system. Have the system scanned to see what fault is in memory
