Module D is the fourth side radar in Ford's scheme beside SODL, SODR and SODCMC. Ford's bulletins list SODCMD among units that log U2100 or U3002 after replacement on 2021–2025 models; SSM 53569 adds that a VIN mismatch can also follow swapping a tail lamp from another car, and that radar modules cannot move between vehicles without programming. Which corner D covers is not published. No maker document uses U024F. It is set by a receiving module once D's frames stay absent. Wiring at the rear deserves a look first: GM found on 2013–2014 Enclave, Traverse and Acadia that the side object sensor harness rubbing on the muffler disturbed the whole LAN and set many U codes (PI1202). The driver sees a side assist warning and the affected zone unwatched. C is U024E; corrupt data from D are U0550.

Likely causes

Rear radar harness chafed or heat-damaged near exhaust or bumper
Module or tail lamp from another vehicle fitted without programming
Radar module without power or ground
Radar module internally faulty

Symptoms

  • Side assist or blind spot warning message
  • One monitoring zone without alerts
