02 abs module clicking

[firsttoyo]

I am looking for information about the ABS module or relay cluster under the right side of the hood on 3.4 V6. With 125,000 miles I am hearing a clicking and slight grinding type noise when the vehicle is running and cold. Almost sounds like an A/C compressor cycling on/off. Goes away when the vehicle is driven for awhile. My ABS light is not on, so I am not sure what this could indicate. Any reply would be helpful.
thanks.

Lol... dude, mine has been doing that since I bought it with 60k on it back in 2002, Im at 187k and it has never affected anything, someone told me it was cooling itself off or something. I dont know but I have never had any problems with it.

If you find something out about it, let us know.

This is my first toyota and I am getting used to it. I have had it for about 2,000 miles and love it. 4wd and towing are awesome. I have been a little gun shy about noises that I hadn't noticed before. Also, I just got out of a HATE relationship with my very last volkswagen. Thanks for the replies.
