General Description

The passive Remote Function Actuation (RFA) system consists of the following major components:
^ A receiver with integrated antenna
^ A low power signal transmitter

The remote control receiver is located over the LH rear wheelhouse. The receiver is capable of recognizing three transmitter codes. The receiver receives and transmits various information from many systems in order to perform specific functions. The RFA system uses the same receiver as the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPM) system. Refer to Tire Pressure Monitor System in Tire Pressure Monitor.

The RFA system allows the user to passively lock or unlock the vehicle through a transmitter located on the user's key chain. The RFA transmitter is a signal generator. Replacement transmitters are available. After replacement, the remote control receiver and the transmitter must be programmed to accept the new transmitter.

The RFA transmitter consists of four manual buttons and a passive slider switch. The operation of the manual and passive features is described.
