Well cus its a Citroen! Same problem, basically under the driver and passenger seat there are pretensioners (basically the wires from the air bag connect together under there). Due to the seats being moved forward and backward to utilise the back seat the wires often come loose in the connectors, hence the flashing faulty light. Its an easy job to fix, best way is to remove the wires from the connectors completley and solder them together instead. Any garage mechanic should be able to do it in twenty minutes if you dont have a soldering iron. Dont worry, the airbag will still work even if the light is flashing however it should fail it's MOT due to this. Alex
Turn on car but do not start wait until airbag light gos out, turn off car before it starts to flash. do this 4 times

Airbag is disabled. Possible broken spring under the steering wheel or bad connection.
it could be the clock spring in the stering wheel colum
Problem with the SRS. Not a DIY repair. Take it to a professional.
The airbag warning light will flash 10 years after your vehicle was maufacturedso even though your car is registered in 1997 it was probably on the production line 10 years ago. the light is to indicate that the s.r.s. airbag system needs an inspection/service and i belive this can only be done at Nissan main dealers
This means that either the air bag is turned off, or there is a problem with the airbag system.
No, it should come on solid for about 5 seconds and then go out if the system is ok.
How to reset airbag light
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.
Warning lights are important to pay attention to and know warning lights. If seat belt lights flash, and an air bag light flash, it means there are problems with both parts.
You will have to repair the problem causing the light to flash. Many auto parts stores can read the computer for the error and will often do this for free.
