Pull the fuse. Many threds, DIYs, etc on this site (see link in my sig).

Read through the ESCL threads and verify whether or not it is the problem. If so, pull the fuse.

The whine could be several things: ESCL (sound comes from underneath dash at steering column and stops after a few seconds), fuel pump (behind seats, always on when engine powered up), engine (TBs, VVEL, etc), or ECM (passenger footwell).
JARblue and BobbyLight like this.
