Remote Function Actuation receiver

The Remote Function Actuation (RFA) receiver
communicates with the Body Control Module
(BCM) through the CAN-bus. When a button on a
transmitter is pressed, the transmitter sends a sig-
nal to the RFA receiver. The RFA receiver sends a
request to the BCM and the BCM performs the
appropriate action.
The RFA receiver is located behind the A-pillar pan-
elling at the driver's side.
The RFA receiver is also called Remote Con-
Note
trol Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) in the
workshop manual.
