Noise when backing up
My '94 makes a funny noise like a buzzing when I first start it and back up. It sounds like it's coming from the right rear. Could be the traction control or the ABS? I'm stumped.
:confused:

ABS self test. Happens everytime. When you don't hear it is when you should start to worry.

It's normal to hear that "grinding" for a second after you start rolling. If memory serves...it happens at 4 mph, forward OR reverse. It's the ABS "resetting".

Thanks everyone!
Phil,
If I can get rid of the neighborhood cats this way, I will be glad! It's so messy to put them in the microwave! :D

Re: Noise when backing up (Greg Johnson)
As others have said, it's the the ABS resetting. You should also see the ABS light up on the DIC for a second or two.
