OK the car. 1997 LS...

This is my odd question. Every time I start my car I get like a 3 second Electrical Hum coming from the passenger side of the car. (While Sitting in the car) IS this the ABS computer? But then every so often I will get that sound while driving... Any ideas? This might be too vague or a crappy example...

Could be..because I believe the abs comp. is located on the passenger side of the car. If it hums sometimes when you hit your brakes as well that'd be my guess!

ABS was also my first guess...

 

It's odd though. It happens once in a rare occasion while just driving... I don't know a lot about the car. Just picked it up about a week ago...

 

Yeah, it's the ABS, happens to me too, usually after I brake hard, when starting to drive again, I hear it hum.

 

Cool well it least were all on the same page... Anything that I need to be worried with? No lights or anything on...

 

Yes, the ABS modulator is mounted at the RF of the car. If it is cycling while driving, your high pressure reservoir is discharging past one of the solenoid valves. Is the brake fluid level in the ABS modulator low?

Also, check the ABS computer for stored codes. You do this just like a CEL. (See the Integra FAQ thread.)

 

^ Highly Noted. Will take a look this evening.
Thanks!!

 

idk maybe its just me..but i think the abs module will do self test as soon as the goes over like 3 mph after first starting the vehicle..i always hear it. any one know for sure?
