Default ABS Code 41

So going through and fixing things on the truck, I decided to check out the ABS code (41) that continues to flash. I see that the code is: CODE 41 - HIGH RESISTANCE OR OPEN RIGHT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR CIRCUIT. Can I open the sensor and reset it? How do I tell if it is bad? I do not want to replace the ADM only to have the same issue. TIA.

That's not an ABS definition - the ABS system doesn't have impact sensors. The ADM is not part of the ABS system.

Yep, my mistake in terminology. I meant SRS/ARB/or whatever Ford calls their airbag system; the only issue that I found with the right impact sensor was the three bolts holding it down had a greenish patina instead of being nice and clean. I wire brushed them clean (and the left side sensor too) as well as the holes the bolts secure in and then I reinstalled the sensors. So I guess that I install a new (used) ADM and #18 fuse and check for other codes when the key is turned on? The only code that ever flashed from the airbag dash light was the code 41.
Is there a place to purchase the resistor and fusible link (the bad components) in the ADM in order to replace/repair the one I have?

The green is a special coating that Ford puts on most electrically-grounding fasteners. The system was called "Air Bag". ARB is an aftermarket company in Australia.

No, you should not guess, or connect a good ADM until you find the problem that caused the original to burn its internal fuse. No, the internal fuse is not available. Read https://www.f150forum.com/f10/speedo...4/#post7027242

The picture below is of the ADM grey and black plugs pin locations. Since I was not able to find the information I needed when I was working on my ADM issues I figured I would post what I found/needed to do my testing.
