Noise question

[Mtn.Rush]

2008 limited, I have a strange noise coming from what sounds like the driverside, inside under the dash near the e-brake lever/fuse box. Once I start the car and put into drive w/in the first 1-2 feet I get a muted click sound, just once and its gone. Sounds like it could be a check of some sort. This is the only time it happens (after first start-up only) Any ideas what this could be and does any one else have this? Thanks
EDIT: It almost sounds like someone flicking the top corner of looseleaf paper, if that makes any sence to anyone.

Everyone with a T4R has similar luck You are, most likely, hearing the ABS self-check.

Is that what it is? I thought it could be some sort of self check(as I stated in my orig post.) Do you have the same noise also? Good stuff, thanks a bunch for the reply, saves me a trip and explanation to the dealer.

EDIT: found on the sequoia and tundra forums they have the same noise 9-12 mph VSC/ABS self check.

I have an 08 SR5 and it has the same noise too. Sounds like its coming from the brake pedal or something. Its a little annoying and am considering taking it into the dealer. Glad to know there's at least one other out there

just be thankful you dont feel it in the pedal as some other toyota model owners do!
I'm pretty sure its the self check already mentioned, i think i ran across a service bulletin on it, my RNR does it too. I'll try to look it up tommorrow and get back to you

If I recall, there's someting in the Owners Manual about that.

Nuke, you're right. I checked the manual and found on p. 345 it says "You may hear a small sound in the engine compartment after the engine is started or the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly. This is a pump pulsating sound of the brake system, and it is not a malfunction."
