Whats up guys need some help here i have a 4dr 6mt 04 and bout 3 days ago i went to leave my house and wen i made it to the stop sign wen i hit my brakes they started pulsing and i heard a spring .like noise cant hear were its from but sounds like its coming from abs.. i have read other threads and i have changed my pads all around still have issue idk wat else to chek if anyone can help me out wit this issue thanx..i havent driven my car since dont want to mess anythin up

 

Is it only making this once? Our ABS system performs a sensor test each time the engine is turned on, it has to reach a certain speed and then it "unlocks" the wheels for testing just like if you would be braking on an icy road.

 

It doesnt make noise wen i turn car on it actually makes it once i strt driveing it and go hit the brakes it strts once i strt slowin down almost to complete stop doesnt make it as soon as i touch the brake..

 

It makes this sound whether you touch the brakes or not. When you start your car and pull away it performs a test on the braking system. It happens every time you start the car and start driving.

 

I dont hear or feel it til i press on brakes and coming to almost a complete stop otherwise it never makes noise at all..

 

Take it to a mechanic.

 

It's the ABS self test.

If you time hitting the brake pedal at the exact same time as the ABS performs it's self test...that's your result.


My car does it all the time because upon exiting my driveway, at aparently the right speed, the ABS test activates just as i have to brake to take a left. I've felt the same feeling you get plenty of times when i time it right.

 

Well if it is that how the heck dose it go away cus its Annoying lol.. ive had car for a yr and nevr dont that to me till now hell i dont even wanna drive it cus of that

 

It's part of the ABS self-check that activates during each start-up when you start to drive away. Next time you start your car, drive off VERY easily with the windows up and radio off and increase speed gradually and you should hear a faint grinding, buzzing noise from under the hood. Might sound like a spring twanging. Thats the ABS self-test.

Now, if you hit the brakes at the same exact time, you'll hear a MUCH lounder spring twanging noise, and feel the pedal vibrate like the ABS is activated.

Not much you can do other than try not to hit the brake at the same time.

 

Kk well im going to have to look into finding out how to get it to go away cus i drove the car yesterday for like 2-3 hrs drove different speed rages and it does it all the time i hit the brake and am coming down on speed almost to complete stop amd honestly its annoying as hell to go from havein a quiet car to it makin a loud twanging noise constant wen i brake...

 

If the noise happens any time other than right after start up this is the best advice. And OP your posts are impossible to read, ever heard of spelling and punctuation?

 

If it's doing it all the time, that's a different issue.

ABS self check happens once on startup, and then that's it. So if it twangs each time you stop...mechanic time

 

+1 for the ABS self check.

 

Some silly answers, ABS self check, yeah, the guys posts are hard to read, but REALLY, come on guys

OP, the obvious question is when this happens, does the SLIP light come on in the dash? Or the ABS light?

I have a similar issue with my Maxima on slight initial brake application it does that, I think it's a sticking caliper, but I'm unsure, haven't had time to check.

If you have no SLIP or ABS lights coming on, then you need a complete brake inspection, making sure they check the calipers travel as well to ensure they're not seizing at one point.

 

It sounds kind of like what I hear if I hit my VDC kill switch in line with the yaw sensor when moving. If your getting the VDC, Slip and ABS light on when you hear it, I would guess a loose wire going to the yaw sensor under the center console.
