Backup Transceiver

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The backup transceiver is used as a backup device. If the vehicle fails to start conventionally, an IA  key can be placed in the backup slot to allow the vehicle to start. The backup transceiver is located next to the slot and activates any IA  key that is placed in the slot. The transceiver is wired to the RFA  module and when activated it sends out a signal to activate an IA  key. Once the key is activated, it sends a signal back to the transceiver which is then sent to the RFA  module.
