It is flashing a code. (6)Driver-Side Air Bag Circuit - Open or High Resistance. What you will probably need to get is a diagnostic flow chart for that code. I found this info, I don't know if it will help. I have seen the clock springs break before,it is common when a rack is replaced and the column spins and tightens the spring:
: Code 6 and 32 refer to the Airbag Diagnostic Monitor sensing high resistance in the airbag circuit. The resistance of the circuit is normally around 2 ohms. The circuit consists of the harness from the Airbag Diagnostic Monitor to the base of the steering column, a clockspring, and related wiring inside the column and the airbag itself.
The problem is generally a broken clockspring. It replaces the old brush and slip ring design that was more prone to developing high resistance due to warping or grease buildup on the rings and wear of the brushes. The clockspring is a wound circuit that can rotate with the wheel much like a recoil spring in a lawn mower. It has a center position with a limited range in either direction, usually 3-4 turns each way and like a recoil, is prone to breaking.
Start the diagnosis by disconnecting the battery for a minimum of 10 minutes to power down the system (or unhook the backup power supply if equipped) and remove the airbag from the steering wheel, making sure to set it 'bag up' on a flat stable surface.
Next install a 1- 2 ohm resistance across the steering wheel connector to simulate the airbag
(1 ohm resistors are available at a local Radio Shack. For 2 ohms, simply twist 2 in series). Reconnect the battery and check to see if the code returns. NEVER DO ANY TESTING WITH THE AIRBAG IN PLACE.
