AIR BAG LIGHT

Hi. Your light is flashing a Diagnostic Trouble Code ... in this case its DTC51.
DTC51 indicates that a serious short to ground has happened somewhere in your air bag system and the system computer has opened an internal fuse to take all power away from the air bag. Therefore, your air bag system is completely inoperative at the moment.
DTC51 is not the problem... something else is... which caused the computer to blow the fuse. This fuse is internal to the air bag monitor. Somewhere you have a serious electrical short.
Anyway, unless you're very experienced with these systems, I wouldn't recommend you attempt to repair it yourself... take it to the dealer right away to get your air bag working again.
