03 Expedition Airbag code 25

I am getting an airbag code 25 on my wifes 03 Expedition. I have found that it may be a code for the canopy airbags. Would someone be able to verify this before I go in and check this out?
What size resistor would a person need to use to simulate a canopy airbag to verify if its in the wiring, or an issue with the airbag module itself?
Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this.

The RCM is mounted under the front passenger seat. It's pretty common for wires to get pulled or connectors to get unseated.

Disconnect the battery negative cable, wait at least one minute, then check those connectors looking for any pushed/pulled pins or wires.

Sorry, don't have the value for the air bag simulator resistors.

Thanks SHO89. I will check all the connections on the module. May I assume that the "25 code" has something to do with that module?

That module controls everything related to the airbag system, including the circuits to fire all the airbags which, of course, includes the passenger side-curtain units.

Won't happen. Since the module detected a fault in the circuit, the circuit was disabled.
