Exterior Front Door Handles

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 exterior front door handles both contain an Intelligent Access (IA) antenna and a capacitive touch lock and unlock sensor. The antennas and lock/unlock sensors are hardwired to the Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module. When a lock or unlock sensor is touched, it signals to the RFA  module there is an IA  request. When the RFA  module receives the request it activates the IA  antenna in the corresponding door handle. The low frequency signal from the IA  antenna activates an IA  key.
