EXACT SAME SITUATION FOR ME WITH MY G37 SPORT COUPE, TWICE NOW. In fact, I'm literally looking at this very issue as I type this. I JUST had my battery jumped a couple of minutes ago & before ANY other lights came on or there were any indications the battery was taking/holding a charge, I looked inside my car & could see the DREADED airbag light flashing AGAIN! While it was a huge relief to know life was being brought back into "my baby", it was beyond annoying to see that f#@$%!# red light back at it once again. I find it interesting that this issue happens after a battery drain/dead battery. As if my car not starting hasn't caused me enough frustration already.....ugh....I could be wrong, but I seem to vaguely recall having this happen to my 2006 G35 Coupe, as well!
And like another person stated, now I don't know if it's really an airbag issue......or not. My gut instinct tells me it's highly unlikely, but hey, what do I know.
In the event I missed something, if anyone knows if the battery drain is what causes the airbag light to continuously flash, I'd love to know. My extended warranty literally expired 2 months ago, (Hence the problems I'm suddenly having....2 dead batteries within 2 days, & now the airbag light. Par for the course) I'll be damned if I am going to take it in to Austin Infiniti & pay hundreds of dollars only to be told it was most likely due to the battery (but they don't know why or how to prevent it from happening again), & all they had to do was perform a simple reset. Or better yet, replace a fuse. Lord knows I could buy enough fuses to last multiple lifetimes for what the "stealership"would charge me.
🤚🙌✋ High five to the member who referred to the dealership as stealership. Freaking awesome. LOVE IT!

Dreaded flashing airbag light........

I think everyone on this thread including you and me is experiencing this issue:

It doesn't look good! I'm hoping my service contract/3rd party warranty will cover this as they did my catalytic converters

You can use the $15 enhanced diagnostic addon to OBDFusion to read and clear the SRS (aka airbag) module:
