Safety Warning

Removal Procedure
Important: The Remote Function Actuation (RFA) system uses the same receiver as the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The service replacement receiver must be programmed to accept both the keyless entry transmitters and the TPM sensors. Refer to TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING and TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR PROGRAMMING in Tire Pressure Monitoring.

- Gently pull on the retainer at the back side of the receiver (1).
