Advice On Getting Hicas Into Diag Mode

Yeh so anyway, after driving about 30 seconds - 5 minutes my steering goes heavy then some minutes later HICAS light comes on. I think its fuel related (not the actual fuel but something near the tank perhaps) as it happens randomly and if it fixes itself temporarily its when i refuel to like half a tank. It was also temporarily fixed when i installed a new pump. Any way im assuming there won't be many suggestions so i was just wondering if any 1 can help me access the HICAS diag on a 32 gts-t

The guide i read said turn the wheel about 40degree to left and right 5 times (so left 5 times right 5 times? or 5 in total?) then tap the brake 5 times and then tap it once more (umm.. So i tap it 5 times, leave it a sec then tap again or do i just tap it 6 times) then move forward for 10 meters at a pace under 5km/h

Any way so any help would be cool, thx

um... not sure. But if you have an aftermarket steering wheel without the steering angle sensor, then that could explain why you can't enter diagnostic mode. It would also explain the light coming on, but not the heavy steering.

yeh, it has the aftermarket wheel kit and stuff. Sucks that you cant enter HICAS diagnostic from a easier technique. I mean honestly -_- turn steering wheel left and right 5 times, tap the brakes, drive forward slowly? Sounds like Something out of a Fairy tale, Zzz. Guessing ill have to just splurge and buy one of those $150 locking bars/kits and get rid of hicas forever. Hope they dont cost much to install

Thx

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
