Air Bag Code 19 Flashing on cluster

"When the ignition is cycled (turned off and then on), the air bag indicator will remain lit for six seconds and then go out. If an SRS fault exists, the air bag indicator will then flash the two-digit LFC. The air bag indicator will flash the LFC five times, then it will remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also communicate the current and historical DTCs through the data link connector (DLC), using the scan tool. If the air bag indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the instrument cluster to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair."

"LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed."

Here is a combined list of codes (some are duplicates) -

Working on air bags is hazardous. Special tools are required in most cases. This should be left to a professional. You should also check your warranty. The restraint warranty might be different than the general warranty. I don't have a copy of the 2002 Warranty, but for

2001 the following applied:

"Safety Restraint Coverage

"Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Safety Restraint Coverage begins at the warranty start date and lasts for five years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. During this coverage period, Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company warrants your vehicle's safety belts and air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) against defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship."
