Start the engine, and turn off after sometime.

Now, the high pitched sound as shown in the video goes away as soon as the IASC connector is unplugged.

When it's plugged inside again, the sound still exists!!!!

Why is it so?? Please it's emergency.

Good afternoon,

I could not hear the sound in the video.

What exactly did you disconnect?

Are there any codes set?

High pitched buzzing sound.

I disconnected the IASC connector and the buzzing or like humming bee sound goes away.

No trouble codes at all.

Okay, is there any running issue with the engine at all?

It sounds like the solenoid itself.

Nope. No issues at all in every aspects performance, pick up etc.

Only this buzzing sound which I noticed recently.

Surprise is that as soon as the IASC connector is unplugged, the sound stops.

How to rectify this loud buzzer sound?

The solenoid may be actuated by the ECM but needs to be confirmed.

As I stated in my last response, it may be the solenoid itself that is the issue.

If it's the solenoid, is it a serious issue?

Or how do I fix that solenoid?

The IASC connector has 3 pins of which the 2 pin is 12 volt.

You do not fix it, you replace it.

You need to have someone check it for you with a scan tool to see if it is the solenoid or the signal from the ECM.
