In a R32 GTST there are two wires coming out of the top of the power steering reservoir. What are they for???

my guess is some kind of float level switch (magnetic), when i move the float up and down the shaft and do a continuity test i get an on switch when the float is down the bottom and the signal is broken once i move it back up agian. i cant see any light on the dash that would resemble low p/s fluid. or would it have something to do with the HICAS?

i accidently broke the wires off the top the other week,. they were all brittle and just fell of when i was checking my levels. the steering has been fine with no dramas. Just wondering if its fine to just leave them broken off? anyone know? can't reattach them as they are broken off right where they enter the cap. also i have a HICAS lock bar so i'm not concerned if its hicas related.

no warning light came on. but it only completes the circuit when float is down the bottom. i'll test it when i get my car back together by touching the wires together. cant test when ign flicked to on because all the lights are already lit up. cheers

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
