U020C Lost Communication With Wireless Accessory Charging Module A

U020C means wireless accessory charging module A, the inductive Qi pad usually placed in the centre console, no longer talks on the network. No manufacturer documents this code publicly with module and threshold. The pad takes no part in driving, so its loss only switches off phone charging and the related display messages. How such modules are serviced shows Ford TSB 22-2485 (2020–2022 Bronco, Bronco Sport, Escape, Expedition, Explorer, F-150, Super Duty, Maverick, Corsair, Navigator): poor charging with MagSafe iPhones is cured by updating the module software. For a lost-communication entry the console plug, its fuse and a unit stuck after an update are the first checks. U050D is invalid data; no MIL.

Likely causes

Fuse or supply of the charging pad
Loose or damaged connector under the console
Module software hung or outdated
Charging module faulty

Symptoms

  • Phone does not charge on the wireless pad
  • No charging status shown on the centre display
