I just spent an hour trying to find out what the flashing airbag warning light code meant. Well I found a manual with all the codes. Here's the link to the workshop manual and repeated below are the airbag codes for anyone else.
http://user-manual.org/Automotive/Mazda/Mazda-RX-8-2003-Service-Manual.html
The first two digit code eg 18 is the given by the flashing sequence of the airbag light.
eg 18 is 1 flash, pause, 8 flashes.
Hope it helps someone else.
