Take it to a dealer or good shop and have them scan the SRS system for the codes it will have. The likely suspects are a bad clockspring connection behind the steering wheel, bad air bag actuator or a bad SRS module.
Get this done ASAP. The reason being, the system is turned off while the light is on, but as yours does not just stay on all the time, it keeps going on/off/on/off it is possible that the system could get a power pulse on at the wrong time and deploy the air bags as you are driving.
Do not bother with the "hey we do free scans" at the auto parts stores, they only scan the engine computer which will not help you. The dealer/shop can scan it and give you options for repair.
You could disconnect the negative battery terminal. Wait at least two to three minutes. Now go to the fuse box and remove fuses numbered 5 and 9 (10 amps). Those are the airbag/SRS fuses. Removal of those fuses will deactivate the system. Now reconnect the battery cable.
Just be sure to tell the shop what you did and have them replace the fuses before they test the system.
