Default Re: Thumping noise from right front when first starting to drive off

Well now, isn't this interesting! My car does not have TCS or VSC; however, I looked under the hood and low and behold, the ABS controller is sitting right there in the right front corner! This necessitated a scan of the Owner's Manual which states on page 267: "You may hear a click or motor sound in the engine compartment for a few seconds when the engine is started. This means that the Anti-Lock Brake System is in the self check mode, and does not indicate a malfunction."

Makes sense to me. Thanks, inov8!
