Can anyone help? Hicas light comes on when i spend any more than 2-3 minutes over 110/120kmh

I will be putting a cancelling bar on soon but i am interested to know if this is a major or minor problem,

and if there is an easy fix in the meantime.Light goes out when car is shut down & restarted.Is it ok to pull

the fuse or does this cause more dramas? :(

Do you have 2 different tyre sizes compared to the front and rear?

I'm guessing your speedo is working correctly.

You can do a diagnostic run to check for problems, have a search for the appropriate thread.

Cheers

It is almost certainly because your steering wheel is not on straight, and after HICAS thinks you have been going in circles for 3min it throws up an error code.

Do you have an aftermarket steering wheel?

Yeh,I have a non-gen wheel fitted,but its on straight...Is there a steering angle sensor or something fitted to original wheel?

Thanks for the 411 on the diagnostics for hicas, problem is boss kit.Nissans are all new to me,SAU is a great resource!!

I am having exsactly the same problem. I think its cauz the previous owner bought a cheap steering wheel and got a boss kit and got some one who dosnt know what there doin to install.

Is there any problems with this?? is it going to affect driving or steering in any way?

quick fix

go to your hicas computer (under your parcel shelf) and unplug the smaller of the 2 wiring harnesses in the back of it. then find the green wire with white trace line and cut it. plug your wiring harness back in

its easier to get to from the back seat when its out compared to from the boot.

this wire sends the signal to the warning light when something hicas related has gone wrong. the light will still come on if the resevoir is low on fluid

Has anything at all been done to your hicas? I have the same problem with mine but i locked the hicas up my own way.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
