I am getting an LFC 19 on my 2004 F150. I found this chart for a 2006 an I'm not sure if it is the same for an '04.



19 talks about a--- "Restraint System - Air Bag Fault" (Driver Front Air Bag Circuit Fault)

How does that translate into English ?

How can I troubleshoot this problem ?

Nothing has happened to the truck and nothing on the dash or any electrical components have been touched.

Thanks for your help.

Anybody have any thoughts ???

Thanks

 

I still haven't had a chance to fix this.

Any ideas ???

 

Does the horn work? If not I would suspect a problem with the clockspring. If you are not familiar with airbag system I would pay for a proper diagnosis then decide if you can fix it.

 

dumb question, are you sure it is a 19, not another code ?

18 is common, when you turn the key from off to run, does the PAD ( Passenger Airbag Deactivation ) light illuminate ?

42 is also somewhat common, but the numbers do not line up ( hard to mistake 9 or 10 total flashes with 6 total flashes ).

 

Yes the horn works.

Yes I am positive it is a code 19

Yes the PAD light illuminates

Is the above diagram the same as a 2004 ?

Thanks,

I can't believe I'm the only one that has had a code 19

Any ideas ?

 

well i have this same prob code 19 and ford told me it was a clock spring but i am not to sure. my horn still works and cruse to. any info you may have would be a big help

 

i have the same code on a 08 f150 xl reg cab, dealer told me it was a open connection or wire between the control module and the drivers airbag. Cruise horn all work, I have not looked into it further. I will update if i do.

 

Are you on the recall list ?

 

the stealership didnt mention any recall

 

Might want to check it yourself on the ford site.

 

hey i got a 1999 ford f150 and the air bag light on the dash is on.when i first turn the key on it blinks 2 times then stops then blinks 9 times then stops.and keeps doing that then it stays on.what code is this? thanks

 

Might want to double check that LFC. It is a valid code, but I have never seen it come up ( not as if that means a whole lot from my view of the 150 world ).

Shows as incorrect vehicle identification code, as in RCM module ???
Has the truck been in a crash before ?

 

I have a 2008 F-150 with an airbag code 19, it started a couple of months after a local dealer activated a Cruise Control in it.
I really don’t know if the problem could be related to the activation, but I took it back to be checked out and I was told that the clock spring was bad and it will cost me $775.00 to replace it.
Now, from what I found out, if the clock spring is defective, then the horn, turn signals, CC, and almost any electric component on the steering wheel will have some issues or don’t work at all. All of that is working without any problems, is that possible? Can someone give me a little more info, I’m having second guesses about the diagnostics. Thanks
