Does your car make a humming noise (twice) when you put it in gear at about 5mph? I just took my car in and they said it was the VSA resetting and that it is normal.

I am going to pick up my car and want to know if this is bullshit or not.

Mine does it. I thought it was the ABS.

 

mine does it as well.

 

Don't know.

I'll have to check.

 

Yup, mine does it too.

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

it's the ABS system

 

Normal, ABS check.

Actually a lot of cars seem to do this also. my buddy asked me the same question about his G35 sedan.

 

my friends Accord does it too.

 

Yup and I was told it was emission related!

 

Who told you that

 

ABS & SRS 'activate' at 4MPH and 12MPH. I can hear both of mine activate when I slowly pull out of my driveway in the very quiet early morning, radio off.

It's in Chod's FAQ. http://www.geocities.com/gamesmgr/chod/acura/#Noise7

 

Damn, I feel like a nOOb. I never knew that url existed.

Good Stuff.

 

it always seems louder when it's cold outside too.

 

That is what the service technician said too.

 

That is what I always thought as well.

 

same here.

 

When i first back out of the driveway about 3/4 of the way there before i put it in D5 that noise occurs. Like said above its the ABS.

 

was gonna ask this as well, happens to me too.

 

and i was dreading a problem with my car. hehe. yay

 

Got it too, like Chaptorial, mine usually does it before I have completed backing out of the driveway.

 

In the Helms manual under ABS/General Troubleshooting Information/Pump Motor it says: "The ABS control unit checks the pump operation during initial diagnosis when the vehicle is started. You may hear the motor operate at this time, but it is normal."

Mine usually does it when I'm backing out of the garage.

 

mine does it when i drive like 5 mph after i put it into drive. im hoping this is the same sound. is their like a little vibration as well for u guys?

 

no vibration

 

You should hear it twice. The first one is the ABS doing a self-diagnostic. Then the second one is the VSA, again diagnosing itself that make sure the unit is working properly.
