it flashed while it was going.
Not unusual...there's a reel underneath the steering wheel that winds/unwinds as the steering wheel turns. It can be replaced by you if you're mildly handy and not worried about the airbag going off (generally unhook the battery and wait 20minutes before fooling around with the airbag). The steering wheel must be straight ahead when you remove the wheel, and the new reel must be correctly installed so it has half the way to go each way the wheel turns.
The dealer may have a diagnostic tool that can identify continuity in the reel so you don't have to replace it and find out it's some other fault. The dealer also has to reset the SRS light I believe or you have to wait something like 50 ignition cycles for it to reset itself.
If you do a search on SRS reel there are lots of posts.
