    Hello all, recently my truck has started making this god awful sound when I start the engine. It normally lasts for about 10-15 min before stopping. sounds like its coming from the ABS Modulator. No brake lights or any other lights come on. brakes work fine.

    all kidding aside. check fan belt, fanbelt pulley, ac pulley, tensioner and alternator pulley. sounds to me like one of those might have rust and/or getting stuck

    I just bought a '02 4Runner and mine is making that exact same noise! I know this is an older thread but what was your issue? I took my to the shop and they said it's the Master Cylinder and the Accumulator that is making the noise. They want $4,500 to fix it!!!! I literally just bought the damn thing. Did you get yours fixed? Is there a cheaper fix? I'm desperate.
