You can go to autozone and get a free diagnostic test on your airbag. It's better than paying $60 for a diagnostic test from a mechanic. I hope you fix the problem.

do you mean if a cel comes on? If so then no cel came on.Are you implying that the air bag like was flashing a code just like in your example? Air bag light flashes a code, ie:
flash flash pause flash flash flash is a 23
Tell us the code and we can help.

One of the codes is for low voltage. If you are getting a low voltage code, it can be a sign that your battery is about to fail or is failing. This is a well documented "Contwerq", or something this happens to Contiquesthat is not particularly common to other cars.
See if you can identify the code. It will be in the pattern of flashes. It will flash one to five times, pause, then flash another one to five times. Then it will repeat. For example, you may have two flashes, a pause, and then four flashes. That would be a code 24.

That means that you need to take them to get check out because something could be wrong with them. That happened in my mustang and i looked it up in the manual

If it was a Mustang, then that might be what's needed, but with Contiques, as others have mentioned, sometimes it's just flashing a code - caused by, for example, low voltage due to a dying battery.
NoS should count the flashes and let us (or their mechanic) know...
Cheers,
