When you start your vehicle and begin to drive away, you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise and you may even notice that your brake pedal moves a little while thisis going on. This is theABS system testing itself. You also may hear this during a hard stop. Your vehicle may have a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful inslippery road conditions. The tractidn control system works at low speeds only, such as when you accelerate from a stop.
