99 Tacoma, slight whine

Jan 16, 2006 3 Replies

I have a 1999 tacoma with automatic and only 60k miles. Anyhow, it has started making a barely audible noise like a high pitched whine when engaged. No sound is made while idling at any rpm, but only as movement starts. however, it is more noticeable when putting in reverse and even slightly moving. As soon as brakes are applied it fades out. It appears to be coming from under the hood (front part of vehicle somewhere). Thanks for any ideas!



Trans. and PS fluid levels ok?

PS fluid looks okay but can't find any place to check trans fluid - nor is it mentioned in the owners manual. Is it sealed?

Okay, found trans fluid and it looks good. Any other ideas?
