hi,

I needed help figuring out how to fix it this problem im having with my tc an figured other tc owners could help. Ive noticed that when i drive my tc an i have my cel connected to aux an playing music an stepping on the gasan u can hear a whistle/squeaky sound near steering wheel! but if i let go off the gas or mute music it will stop! and also this does NOT occur when im listening to radio or CD.

ANY ideas what it is???

 

It's interference with whatever device you are using it happened in my gen1 tc just Bluetooth your device to the radio and problem solved

 

I've never had the issue
Show a dealer. Let them repair wherever the interference may come from

 

This is related to a grounding issue with the car. I have the same problem when using my Sirius radio. If the mini jack connector is not connected exactly right, the whining is there. My issue has more to do with the Sirius radio. I have found that when this happens while using the output of my cell phone that if I have my cell plugged in and charging via the cigarette light these issues go away. Also wiggling and twisting the cable in the connector helps.

There is definitely something weird with the aux in and grounding.

 

ohh okay thanx guys/ladies..... i have another question lol when i start my scion the "maintenance required" icon blinks for 3 seconds then turns off! do i needa go get it checked? i dont remember if it did that before. doesnt it need to STAY on if maintenance is realy required ?

 

Is this the first time you are seeing the flashing maintenance light? The light usually goes of after about 5000 miles. It is telling you to schedule your maintenance. After a while it will go solid. Check your mileage and cross reference it with the maintenance schedule to see what is needed.

 

yeahh first time does it almost everytime now! i just bought it not to long ago so i dont know what needs! it has 116,345 i bought it with 112,203

jus take it to a toyota dealer?

 

You're due for an oil change. That's what that light means.

 

What year is it to have 112k miles? damn thats a lot of miles.

 

^judging by his profile picture, its a tC1.

OP you would probably have better luck if you posted this in the gen 1 forums

 

I'm assuming he has an 06 scion tC by looking at his user name

 

yeahh its 2006 scion TC idk if its tc 2 or 1 i dont know the difference lol an it was an oil change i needed fyi i got it an maintenance light came off!!

 

Scion tC2 is 2011+

tC1 is years before that, including your 2006.

Thread moved. Good luck and hope you find your solution.

 

yes... tC1 2006-2010, tC2 2011+

your maint. req. light will blink at 4500 miles since it was reset last and will stay solid when it reaches 5000 miles since it was reset last. (goes for both tC1 & tC2)

 

My 06 tc does this too but I do not get a cel just the whining when I have my iPod connected to the aux port

 

lol i do believe he meant cel as in cell phone and missed a letter...mine does it too with my sirius xm, as long as its music im good...but when im listening to the jason ellis show and in between songs i can hear it and it is very annoying

 

As far as the wining goes, I was having that same issue just last week. I swapped out my auxiliary cable, and the issue disappeared.
