Re: Traction Control noise

On my wife's 2002 with traction control (spinning tire icon) it makes the same noise as the ABS when the traction control is active. Since her's has a mechanical throttle, only the ABS is used to avoid spinning, and the noise is normal.

Maybe since yours has the electronic throttle, it starts with the throttle, and if excessive slipping is detected, the ABS is then activated as well. Maybe the first 25 times, the TC did not need to activate the ABS.
