Ford gives seat control module G a fixed meaning: SCMG is the driver's multi-contour seat module with massage and lumbar functions. Ford's TSB 19-2293 covers vehicles from the 2013 MKZ to the 2019 F-150 and Navigator with intermittent massage and lumbar operation, B1471 and U024B/U024C, caused by fretting terminals at the SCMG and SCMH connectors and fixed with new pigtails and a rerouted harness. On 2020–2021 F-Super Duty a misconfigured SCMG after a software update made the APIM store U024B, cured by the configuration app (SSM 53226). U054C stands for data that arrive but are rejected; Ford documents no case for it. Massage, lumbar or contour settings of the driver seat may then stop or be unavailable from the touchscreen.

Likely causes

Fretting corrosion at the multi-contour seat module connector
Seat module misconfigured after a software update
Multi-contour seat module internally faulty

Symptoms

  • Driver seat massage or lumbar adjustment works only intermittently
  • Seat contour settings cannot be operated from the touchscreen
