U0247Lost Communication With Seat Control Module F
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- How the car detects it
- In Ford's module naming, letter F stands for the rear seat climate control module (SCMF), the unit that heats and, where fitted, ventilates the second-row outboard seats; a 2024 scan-tool release lists it next to SCME for the front seats and SCMG/SCMH for the multi-contour seats. Ford's climate seat bulletins show how such a unit is serviced: stored codes are read in the module first, then blower or configuration are addressed (TSB 16-0080 for the front SCME). No public maker text uses U0247. It would be stored by the module passing rear seat requests, typically the body controller or rear climate panel, when SCMF frames are missing. Because the rear unit often sits under the second-row cushion, folding seats can strain its harness. Rear seat heating or cooling then stops. Front climate seats are U0246; implausible data from F are U0548.
