Weird Series of Clicks when Key put into "On" position
I've recently noticed that when I turn the fastkey knob to the second position, "On", just before turning it to crank the engine, I hear a series of fast clicks coming from the driver's side of the engine bay. They sound like a bunch of relays turning on and off very quickly for about 1-2 seconds. Everything seems to be working properly. Is this sound normal, or should I take it to the dealer??

I believe it's normal, I get it in my 04 2.4liter as well, sounds like it is supposed to do that
|
Thanks for the response. You don't know what it is for sure though? I may check with the dealer anyway.

I have worked at a Mitsu dealer since '04 and every Mitsu does it. I was told it is the fuel system pressurizing. I don't know if thats true but it sounds good. It is normal and nothing to worry about.
|
Bizarre, but Ok I believe you.
|
normal on most cars. it's the fuel pump priming the fuel system.

You r talking about a "SelfSafe" check. It is the "ABS" system clicking... don't waist your time going to the dealer. :P

if it goes something like: CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK at about a quarter to half second interval, it is normal. You will hear the fuel prime relay and everything else you hear I think I was told is related to the ABS system..
