I was driving home this arvo when suddenly the hicas light came on, steering went heavy and speedo and odometer stopped working. Looking through old posts on this website on the matter it seems that the speedo cable is broken and if i replace this the speedo will work again, same with the odometer and the hicas will also be fixed. Could i just geta quick yes or no as to wether fixing the speedo cable will fix the hicas/power steering problem as well.

i have similar problem i have a r33 gts-t my rev meter dies and hicas light comes on at the same time and comes back on again, ive pulled my cluster out and gave it a good clean pulled all the plugs out and put them back in, the problem is still there. Theres no modification done to the hicas and i dont have any after market tachos. I think the best place to pin point the problem will be auto electrician

yes fixing the speedo will fix the sterring

hicas is proportional to the speed you are travelling, if it doesnt know how fast your going, it turns off the power steering. (or drops to minimal assist)

Thankyou muchly for that craved...very happy to hear that.

Just one more q'n, is there any chance that it is a blown fuse that has caused speedo/odometer to stop or can it only be the speedo cable?

Thanks again!

happened to me once in my r32, pulled the speedo outa box and pulled on it. the cable didnt pull through ( not broken) i then mooved onto the cluster, when i pulled that out the lil pinion for the speedo into the cluster had poped out, put it back in and bang it all worked again. havnt had any troubles since.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
