3 questions or issues with my limited

[ningduo]

1. anyone experience "a click" under the steering wheel after you startup your truck and reach the speed about 3-5mph (no matter in Reverse or Drive)


2.Right after back up form the parking lot and put the shift to drive, when I hit the gas pedal. I saw the low fuel indicator blink about 3-4 time (gas tank almost full) and I can feel a valve or switch under the gas pedal disconnect and reconnect. I cannot feel any power output while the low fuel indicator blink and it last about 4 second. This problem only happend twice after each time I fuel up my truck (I only fuel it twice for now) and drive about another 2-3 gallon distance.


3.when I turn the climate control speed (the fan) to level 1 or 2, I can hear some kind of electric noise.( like a old refrigerator noise) well, it is easily to be ignored if the fan speed increase to make more wind noise.

I really appreciate the reply : )

Yes, normal, abs/brake system doing its 'thing'. Do a search, it has been discussed a few times here if you want more details about it.

Sounds like you might you are still 'rolling backwards' when you shift from R to D. Are you sure it is the low fuel light? Sounds like you might be activating the HAC system or possibly even the TRAC system (the TRAC system senses 'slippage' and will flash lights on your dash, make clicking noises, and cut power to the engine). These new 4R are very sensitive. Make sure you come to a complete stop before you shift and let us know if it still does it. Also, are you turning your engine off while you fuel or do you leave it running?

1. I didn't recall any click under steering wheel, is it loud? the only click I hear when I start driving is a click of door being locked. By the way it can be set to lock as soon as you shift to "D" or when you reach 5 mph.

2. Seems to be strange to me, didn't experience that sort of thing so far. 4 sec loss of power is hard to forget. Try to fuel up on different gas station see if it happens again.


3. can't say anything here - don't have climate control.

You Sure it was the low fuel indicator? Did it beep and make a buzzy grinding noise at the same time as the light? If so then that was the HAC for sure.

I think you could re create it by coasting backwards and dropping it into D then quickly and gently pressing the gas. As you roll backwards the HAC will go off and try to stop you.

I test drive a friend's 2010 sr5, it have the same "one click" and he said that might be the auto door lock swtich when you reach a certain speed.I also stopped by the dealer and they told me the flash light I saw may be the A-TRAC system. For the climate control noise they said it is normal but it is really annoying in level 1 or 2 speed.
