U0547Invalid Data Received From Seat Control Module E
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- How the car detects it
- Seat control module E belongs to the higher letters used once a car has more seat electronics than a driver and a passenger unit. Ford uses the E slot for a climate seat controller on the 2016 Lincoln MKX, where weak seat cooling was fixed by updating the as-built configuration of the SCME (SSM 46279). Climate seat patents explain what such a module handles: it reads the occupant's setting and a temperature sensor and drives the blower and the thermoelectric element, often only with the engine running. U0547 is logged when its frames arrive but carry implausible values; if they are missing, U0246 applies. No bulletin names U0547. Expect heated or ventilated seat functions to switch off or ignore the chosen level.
