METAR Remarks code question

Hi, I want to know what "A002" stands for in the remarks section of the METAR, example:

KGRK 020358Z 36011KT 3/4SM R33/5500FT BR -RA OVC004 02/02 A3033 RMK A002 CIG 002V004 SLP279=

Thanks!

A02 means that the site is automated and HAS a precipitation sensor. If it were AO1, there would be no precip sensor. This does not mean the site is un-manned. If there is an AUTO after the ID in the metar ob, then there is no observer.
