so today i remove my complete ABS/Booster/VSC out of my 2003 GS300.
Well, the car apparently has a buzzer and if the booster is not there, it thinks "omg no brakes omg bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz". constant buzzing when the key is on 2 clicks or on engine-run.![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)
I removed ALL vsc/abs fuses and it still goes bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I look through all my schematics and low and behold there is a separate buzzer somewhere under the dash. who would have thought![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
This buzzer is sounded when the electronic booster looses signal or fails. In my case, its no longer in my car because i chose to remove it all. However the buzzer doesn't care, it just wants to be heard.
Here is my question.....Where exactly is this thing? does anyone know? I am sorta crippled right now, broken left elbow and in a cast. So i cant go crawling up in the dash. However if i knew where it was, i could have a friend locate it and simply unplug it.
It certainly sounds like its near the steering column...definitely on the drivers side.
This is what it looks like....

I don't think that's the buzzer you're hearing. The pic you posted is the chime..I guess you can call it that. Like when you key the car on it does those 5-6 ding ding ding sounds. The VSC buzzer is a higher pitch sound like a deeeee deeeee....yes I know very descriptive lol. Anyways, I believe the VSC buzzer is located inside the TRAC/ABC ECU. I've been digging around under the dash before and that's where the noise seemed to be coming from. I have one of my cars torn down because it's in the midst of a major overhaul. I'll take a pic of where the chime buzzer you posted is as well as the location of the ABC/TRAC ECU. I think if you unplug the ABS/TRAC ecu then the annoying "low brake pressure" warning buzzing will stop.

Awesome! I will take a look monday when i get back to my friends shop.
The part number on that buzzer says VSC buzzer. I found it on ebay trying to see what this thing even looked like.
The door chime is a different part number and as you know does the whole Ding...Ding...Ding and is different.
The noise i have is high pitch constent buzzzzzzzzzing sound.
I will also unplug that abs ecu under the dash.
I will report back Monday.
Thanks again guys!!!!
