However the instructions could use a little bit of clarification. I found them at the link provided in the first post and they are a little more specific about a couple things that I think makes a difference.

1. Turn the ignition from off to on (it is not necessary to start the car, keep your foot off of the clutch or brake) You'll need to press the start button twice quickly in succession to do this.

2. Watch the airbag light closely with your finger on the start button. It will stay on for a few seconds. As soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), immediately press the button to turn off the ignition. Turning it off immediately after it goes dark and before the first flash is important.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now on the 4th cycle, turn the ignition on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, much slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing. If not, wait about one minute and then begin the procedure all over again try it again until it does work.

Now in the stickies.

Hoping to save others some time..Didn't see any other threads on this..
This worked on my 2009 G37S 6MT


Repeat the following steps 3 or 4 times.

1. Turn the ignition to ON (not to acc and no need to start the engine)
2. Wait 7 seconds until the air bag light goes out and immediately turn the ignition off ( You have 1 second to turn it off)
3. Wait 3 seconds before repeating

Voila! However, if your light continues to blink or maintains solidly lit, then you might want to see your dealer or diagnose further.. My case was the following:

The other day I was running some wiring and left one of the related harnesses unplugged and had turned back on the power which caused the supplemental air bag warning light to start flashing. Very annoying. I found about six ways to "fix" this online ranging from random things with the doors, starting the engine in a certain sequence, removing the negative terminal cable ..etc ...but the steps I listed above are the only ones that actually reset it for me.
