Relay noise from behind the dash ???

[macscorcher 0]

Hello folks just a quick question: with the recent snow weve had ive noticed that when i get wheelspin in my VR6 a strange noise like a relay firing comes from behind the dashboard. Is this normal ? Anyone else experianced this ? Im presuming its something related to the abs as its detecting the wheel slipping ? Any ideas ? LOL

ABS relays are behind the glove box.... advisable to disable the ABS if it's really icy

LOL thought it might be something to do with that.

 

Its one seriously annoying noise but like to have my abs in these sort of conditions. Guess i'll just have to put up with it as long as its meant to be doing that.

Or not as ABS does not work below 15mph anyway.

 

It will be the traction control/EDL system kicking in, you never normally use/notice it as it does not work above 15mph but that is what is kicking in and out with acceleration wheelspin.

 

Should be some more information in the owners handbook.
