The #1 remote battery is getting to low. The remote have a number on the back of them for identification but it is cheap enough to change them both. After changing the battery the code can be cleared with a diagnostic computer or by starting the vehicle and then locking and unlocking the vehicle with the remote that was listed as having the weak battery, in this case #1.

Replace the battery in your key fob.


To clear the error message lock and unlock the doors with the engine running.

    Should have been more specific. Use your key fob with the new battery to lock and unlock your doors with the engine running. ;)

I have a 2003 chevy suburban and my RFA 1 battery low has been showing. what does this mean?

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

Two things to look at. Have the battery checked for it can be near the end of it's life span. It can be a faulty alternator issue to and I suggest that you have the alternator checked as well. You may need replacement if found out faulty.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

I recieved message ( RFA1 Battary low ) what does that mean

RFA means radio frequency actuation. This usually indicates one of your key fob batteries are getting weak. They work off RFA, by remotely operating your door locks thru radio signals. Its best to change the batteries in both remotes at the same time. They shouldn't, but not always need reprogramming. After replacing the battery, simply press the lock and unlock buttons together to re-synchronize the key fobs.

RFA1 BATTERY LOW

The message stands for Remote Function Actuation (RFA) battery low. This in more simple terms means that the battery in your remote for the door locks is getting low and should be replaced soon.

Just replace the battery in you keyfob remote.

Good luck.
