U050E Invalid Data Received From Wireless Accessory Charging Module B

U050E belongs to a second inductive charging pad, found in cars that offer one pad up front and another for the rear seats or a second front position. Each pad runs its own transmitter coil, object detection and temperature monitoring, so a fault in B leaves pad A working. The fault is logged once the controller that displays charging status gets frames from module B whose values or protection fields do not check out. No manufacturer bulletin mentions a B module; Ford's documented WACM cases concern single pads. Before replacing anything, test with a known Qi-compatible phone and clear coins or cards from the pad. U020D is the matching code for no communication with module B.

Likely causes

Metal object or card on the second pad triggering protection
Software of charging module B not matching the vehicle
Wireless charging module B internally faulty

Symptoms

  • Second charging pad inactive while the first works
  • No charging indication for the rear or second pad
