Advice On Getting Hicas Into Diag Mode

[GTAAAH]

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

first of all.....

have you checked your power steering fluid level?

[GTAAAH]

hahaha yeh i havee

[GTAAAH]

ermm ne 1 know how to enter it?

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

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
