Yes, the airbag light serves as a warning that there is an error within the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) system and if it is on then the airbags are disabled. However, It is common for the light to flash for about six seconds when the car is first started. This is the amount of time that the airbag control module takes to diagnose whether it has found any problems with any of the components that make up the SRS system. The most common components are the front, side and roof airbags. However there are many others, such as the clock-spring, impact sensor, passenger detection sensor and airbag module. If during this check any one of these components reports an error then the airbag light will come on or flash in series, serving as a warning that the SRS system needs your immediate attention.
