The ABS/ESP system performs a short self-check during which all valves of the hydraulic unit are operated at the same time and the return pump runs briefly. This functionality ensures the pre-load of the ABS pump and the readiness of the Pre-Sense System if required.
The self-check is necessary for correct operation of the ABS/ESP system. The resulting noises are unavoidable.
This will help explain the issue to a customer who may be concerned.
