Guess The Funny Noise.

[firemac]

Whenever I switch off the car and open the driver's door, there is a little buzzing noise that lasts about 1-2 secs. Haven't been able to figure out what it is.

Any ideas?

Mine does it too. I think it is the IDU shutting down but not sure. Maybe Mr Shcm would know?

I know it kicks up evry time so like a good soldier..............

....oops, watch out for the metaphor cops.

Aren't IDU's something that the ladies use??? Why does my RAV need one?

IDU.......Injector Drive Unit

What does it do?..........I am not too sure....except maybe drive the fuel injectors.......

I am sure that there are enough RAV 4 "Experts" on here that will be able to tell us! :)

Correct Red.

Ancs' is certainly, but are both these vehicles "smart" entry?

So, you're not hearing the electric steering lock engage are you?

After switching off, without opening the door, if you then wait a couple of minutes, do you get the same noise?

Spot on, shcm. My car is T&G and when I hit the start button I get the same brief sound. Clearly, it is the steering lock dis-engagiing/engaging.

Pretty obvious (once somebody smarter points it out, of course!!).

Oh that? Mine does that and the buzzing noise in the engine too.
