hey all,

HICAS PROBLEM

got a little problem with my 92 model 32 gtr, ever since i have replaced my cluster with a nismo cluster ive been having a problem thats got to the top of my head, my hicas light just comes up and does not disappear, as soon as i take my car out the first turn i get to my hicas light just comes up and its doing my head in, ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED GUYS,

4WD LIGHT PROBLEM AND ALSO SIMILAR TO A CONTINUOUS FUEL PUMP NOISE

also my cousin has a 89 r32 gtr and he just got his car back yesterday and he noticed that when he was driving his gtr the 4WD light was on continuous and will not disappear, and also when he turns his ignition on his got like some fuel pump noise that is constantly on even while driving, please guys can yous please help us,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH GUYS,

CHEERS

k i know this sounds obvious but did u check your fluid level?

and my motor swap i did in my car sets mine off when the hicas is supposed to kick in,even when the p.s fluid is fulll

yer my fluid levels seem to be fine i cant think of anything else

so if you remove the steering wheel does it really affct the hicas? i got that problem at the moment but my hicas comes on afetr like half hour, realy shits me, im at the stage where i have to get it removed,

and no he didnt remove his steering wheel when he changed his cluster because i was there in front of him but his steering wheels was not straight so we took it to a mates workshop and we fixed it there, it was ok for a while but just came back, gdzlar1 is my 1st cousin and im the one that has the 4WD light that stays on continuously while driving and when ever i turn the ignition on i have like this noise from where my diff is and its like a fuel pump noise that just stays on while driving and it doesnt stop until i turn the car off,

what might be the problem yous all think?

Edited by GTRBOS

HICAS - Did you check the fuse in the fuse box / Power steering fluid?

ATTESSA - You can check the sensors, I think, from memory is in the centre under the small compartment going towards the rear seats..?

<br />There are too many threads regarding the effect of the alignment of the sensor under the steering wheel affecting the operation of HICAS.<br />
<br /><br /><br />

ok if i was to cheak y wiring how would i do that and if its not the problem where is the hicas fuse located or the atessa sensor?

hey i got a 32 gts4 and my lhicas light never turned off until today when i had my 100,000km service.i got the power steering fluid flushed/bled and got new power steering fluid in it. Now i have no hicas light on yay

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
