If the ABS light comes on and the noise is gone, it's because the ABS system is disabled......need to get the ABS code read....

Re: brakes make mechanical whine noise

I have the same problem. My ABS is not working since 4 years ago. Sometimes it is cold the abs turns on, but I have clicking sound on break pedal. Now we have, if ABS turns on the whining noise too. All peoples look at us. But if the ABS turn off then all is fine.

Re: brakes make mechanical whine noise

Sounds like the ABS accumulator pump is running inappropriately. Accumulator might be blown or something, valve stuck, whatever. Hard to say. Will have to be code scanned for an answer.

If the light came on, there should be a code stored.
