Remote Function Actuator (RFA) Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The RFA module is responsible for controlling the power door locks and the Intelligent Access (IA) features. It uses the antennas in the front exterior door handles and the liftgate Intelligent Access (IA) antenna and the TPM module to receive the Intelligent Access (IA) key data. The RFA module receives direct input from the TPM module over a dedicated single wire network and is hardwired to the antennas. The power door lock actuators, exterior power liftgate switch, and the keyless entry keypad are also hardwired to the RFA module. The RFA module receives the door lock control switch input from the BCM over the MS-CAN .
