Hicas Doing Weird Things - And No Light!

[ras1983]

I have no idea what is going on, and i will try the self diagnostic in the morning.

on the odd occasion, when i am just cruising at a steady speed, i can feel the rear tires turn one way, then the other and then correct themselves.

imagine a sort of s-shape. they don't turn much, and the car isn't greatly affected, but it is very unnerving as a driver. what the hell is going on with the HICAS? it seems to be randomly turning the rear wheels. interestingly, the couple of times it has happened has been on bumpy sections of road (on was on mahoney's road between high st and the foodies station).

anyone have a clue what this could be?

EDIT: i should add that the HICAS light has NEVER come on.

Also does anyone know where i can find the super hicas schematic? i'm thinking there must be an electronic way to lock the hicas system.

lockbar ftw!

Yeah after reading through 8 pages of HICAS problems via the search function, the lock bar seems to be the best method of fixing this problem.

sometimes its good to fix something then modify, but in most cases with hicas you dont want it anyway, so might as well just ditch it.

My rear goes all over the place, its more pronounced on bumps too. Its suspension related, not HICAS.

This is definately HICAS related. i can literally feel the rear tires turn one way then correct themselves.

this has only ever happened twice in two months, but i don't see the point in HICAS so i think i will just get the lock bar and be done with it.
