depend on year and make of your Vehicle.
if late model Ford/Lincoln, it means your driver side "seat belt pretensionor".
(There is small bomb in seat belt retractor related with airbag)
if early model Ford/Lincoln (and maybe some GM), it means passenger side airbag "System"
Don't take it lightly as "Oh, it's just seat belt pretensionor. Airbag still fine".
your airbag may not deploy to avoid injured by airbag, if something malfunctioned with pretensionor.
The Airbag Code 36 for a 2001 Ford Taurus is the airbag code for the Driver Side, Side Airbag. This means that there is either a faulty connection, and wires may need to be cleaned, or that the driver side, side airbag needs to be replaced.

There is small bomb in seat belt Retractor to make passenger tight fit to seat when airbag deploy. if something is wrong with seat belt retractor bomb (pretensionor), airbag itself may may not work to avoid injury by airbag.
