That's the steering angle sensor. This tells the hicas where the steering wheel is pointed.Whithout it, it thinks there's a big problem.

thought so, thanks man, but the funny thing is, i put my original wheel back on with this sensor aswell and the light still comes on after about 5-7 mins highway driving, also my indicators dont self-cancel anymore when i go around corners... not even when i turn the wheel full lock...

whats happeneing....?

Beef you need to make 100% sure the wheel is on sraight. Easiest way is to drive along for say 10m without touching the wheel, then put it on straight for that position, should then be straight. There something like 50 positions you can put the wheel on so 1 tooth left or right doesn't look like much but is enough to confuse hicas

have you tried resetting the ecu by unplug the battery for a few minutes? but will lose all setting on radio and clock.

Are you still having this problem?

Before you bolt your original steering wheel or aftermarket boss kit on, you must make sure the "clock spring" is in the right positon

The is the item with the yellow stick on it

If you read it, it tells you to turn to full lock (either clockwise or anti clockwise, can not remember) and then come back 2 1/2 turns. On the clock spring it has a locating pin that fits to the back of the steering wheel or boss kit and also there is a alignment arrow on the side aswell.

If you do not line this up correctly, the hicas light comes on after 5-10 mins of driving.

You can normally get the non airbag, but with hicas compartable boss kit form Autobarn for approx $70-80

If you had a airbag, you need to get a different boss kit and they cost approx $200-250. UAS or Advan sell these.
