Beeping noise??

[ChrisD172]

Hi guys

Picked up a 172 sport today and noticed just there, when i turn the key a couple clicks it sounds like there is a constant beep from somwhere in the engine bay??

Think it goes away when the car starts and wasnt doing it when i turned it off?

Any ideas anybody??

Cheers Chris

you have a 172 Ph2 which has a FBW (fly by wire throttle system). This means that there is a sensor on the accel pedal and a motor that actually controls the throttle in the engine. It's normal for it to wine/squeal a little bit, they all do it.
