hey guys.....got a problem and dont know how to pinpoint it.....happense occasionally. ok so when im driving...i find that i hear this sound from the rear when ever i hit a bump sometimes crack on the road....but it doesnt matter if its big or small...sometimes it will go on when it hits a small crack. sounds like the ABS, but am not to sure....sounds like if you hit a computer button repeatedly but not to hard.

The other problem i have is when im about to take off from start or slow motions forward i hear a sound from the front.....and then it disappears. dont know how to make the sound from here...but i will try....ehhnnnngggggggggg then cuts off ususally 3 seconds to 5 seconds.

The ABS pump will run whenever the pressure in the ABS system is lower then a preset pressure.
If you use the ABS (heavy braking) the pump will run, but since there might be small leaks in the ABS system (i.e. the solenoid seals), the pressure in the system might drop overnight as well, and therefore the system will cycle when the car is started in the morning. Nothing to worry about, but a good ABS system flush will make the whole situation a lot better. It will take small particals and small debris out of the system, letting the seals of the solenoids do a better job.
My pump used to run every morning, but after i did the flush, it cycle's far less. If you do decide to flush by a DIY, i strongly recomend to do it with the T-bleeder, because it will flush the system better.
