Count the flashes. That is a code. Look it up in the service manual and follow its diagnostic procedure.
I had code 4 on a 93 capri. I went through the diagnostic procedure and the result was everything was OK with the other circuits, it said to replace the diagnostic monitor module, which is a computer that monitors the air bags and flashes the codes. The diagnostic monitor is separate, it should not affect the operation of the air bags, it only attempts to discover faults in the air bags that would prevent their deployment, it does not actually deploy them.
I am loathe to replace the diagnostic monitor (because I'm cheap). I may yet disable the light, if I can. Maybe that was your question, how do you turn off the light without actually fixing anything? The service manual says if the light is not functional, the diagnostic monitor beeps instead. So maybe I need a light that appears to be flashing, but is dark?
There is much redundancy in the air bag system itself. I would hope that most of the faults the diagnostic monitor finds are not critical faults because of the built in redundancy. In other words, the diagnostic monitor might only be telling you that one level of redundancy has failed.
The Australian built mercury capri went out of production in 1994.
The light is flashing because there is a problem. The problem will need to be diagnosed and repaired to stop the flashing.
A flashing red traffic light is used the same way as a stop sign. You treat a flashing red traffic light the same way you do as a stop sign. If the traffic light is "blacked-out", it's to be treated as an all-way stop. What I do when I come up to a flashing red traffic light, I look at the cross-traffic signals to see if they're also flashing red, or if they're flashing yellow to see if they stop or if they don't stop.
Yes, you are required to stop at an intersection with a yellow flashing light if there are other vehicles or pedestrians present.
Vehicles approaching a school bus with its yellow lights flashing must stop.
When you see a flashing yellow light, proceed with caution instead of stopping.
Flashing amber light means slow down, watch for potential dangers. Flashing red means stop; proceed if and when it is safe.
When a yellow light is flashing at an intersection, a driver must proceed with caution and be prepared to stop if necessary.
Red Stop Light Flashing Red Stop Light Red Stop Sign
A red traffic light means stop, and you must come to a complete stop before the intersection or crosswalk. A flashing red traffic light indicates the same as a regular red light – you must come to a complete stop, but you can proceed when the way is clear after yielding to other vehicles and pedestrians.
You must stop
Treat it as a stop sign.
