This is a code 46 LH Crash Sensor - Not Mounted to Vehicle Properly. Often there is a poor contact on one of the wiring connectors. Some of the problems can happen from a poor connection where everything connects under the drivers side seat.
Here is a list of codes for the airbag light issues.

SOURCE: 1997 Escort Sdn., airbag light flashes 4 times
Common fault on FORD
Usually due to a poor
connection in the YELLOW PLASTIC CONNECTOR underneath the passenger seat.
Just push it together
properly and it should clear the AirBag fault light

CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are playing with Explosives!!!
Working on a safety restraint system can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. There is a procedure to diagnose the problem which entails using a jumper wire for part of the diagnosis. Just as an example: emissionwiz mentioned a clock spring. This can be damaged by the installer very easily if they don't know what they are doing.
It is designed to rotate only so many revolutions. IF the installer was not paying attention and the clock spring had been out of the packing prior to their receiving it, it could have been rotated one or several revolutions. So when the installer puts the clock spring in place and goes to turn the steering wheel in one direction, it's fine but in the other direction, it will destroy the part!
Anyway, to sum it up in a nutshell, leave this job to a pro.

You will need to contact your local dealer, airbags are very dangerous and this is not a repair you want to attempt yourself.
SOURCE: SRS airbag light flashes 4 times and then stays on
u have to diagnose it to know the fault .
WARNING the airbag system doesn't work when SRS illuminates

46--- Driver Pretensioner Circuit Resistance High
That means the buckle in you driver side seat belt system has failed. It has an explosive device called a pretensioner in it which is designed to pull you into place microseconds before the airbag deploys. That component has failed and has deactivated the airbag system. You will need to replace the 'buckle pretensioner'.
But before you do, please get real familiar with the system you are working on before you cause additional damage, hurt yourself or deploy the bags accidentally.
