Hello, the airbag light flashing indicates a general problem with the airbag or airbag system. The exact pattern of the flash will tell you exactly what code is being generated, and from there we can figure out what the problem is and how to fix it.
See this article for how to determine the airbag code from the pattern of flashing lights. Once you have determined the code, please post a new question here with the code number, or the pattern of lights, and we'll try to help you from there.
