B0016 (symptom byte 0D for high resistance) will trigger when more than 4.2 ohms is measured. My recommendation is to confirm this symptom byte first.
- Bytes 02 or 0E very often indicate a CPA connector that is improperly seated and causing the shorting bars inside the connector to short the control circuits together.
- Bytes 04 or 0D often indicate terminal fretting or connectors that are not seated correctly, but not interfering with the shorting bars.

In either case, it may be a good idea to check the connector for the roof rail airbag. Look for a condition like this one below, where the connector is not fully seated (in this case, this is for a seat belt retractor. Same CPA connector style for roof rail airbags though). Unfortunately, these are a little tricky to get to as the connector is very rearward in the vehicle. You'll need to remove the A, B, and C-pillar trims, possibly the sun visor too, so you can lower the headliner just enough on the left side so you can see the connector.

This is the route I need to go as I think it might be in the connector as well, just sucks to need to pull all that down was hoping the connector might be behind the b pillar or someplace easier to get at.

This might end up being a winter project if I am going to need to pull the whole headliner down.
