Default 01' max airbag flashing

Hey guys, was driving home from class today and randomly my airbag light started flashing, got it into diagnostic mode and it is saying 1 long flash, then off for 2 seconds, then 1 quick flash, then repeating. So im thinking its code 1? Or 11, not sure.. I have scoured google and the search bar for over a few hours so dont flame me if i missed a thread already covering it. The closest i could come to is a thread regarding 2 flashes on the unit. Thanks in advance.

That is not exactly what I am experiencing. I would describe this as 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off, then 1 quick on, then repeating the 2 seconds off 2 seconds on.

turn on the key to ON - wait 7 seconds,
turn key back to ACC, wait 5 seconds,
turn key to ON - wait 7 seconds,
turn key back to ACC, wait 5 seconds,
turn key to ON - wait 7 seconds,
turn key back to ACC, wait 5 seconds,
turn key back to ON, and now you should be in diagnostic mode.

Okay guys heres an update - I found out where nissantech was getting his pictures from, and it looks like the pic below. Now im at the point where should I take it in to the dealership to have them look at the side airbag, or attempt it myself? Can I do the easy steps such as check the wiring harness? Where is that located? Thanks guys.

I uploaded the picture for anyone else who is googling the code with one flash.
