2000 Rs4s Stagea Hicas Problem, Self Diagnosis Code 13 - Motor Output

[Griff0]

I posted this under the Mods and Maintenance / General Maintenance section but haven't had any responses. Thought I'd put it here and see if there's a better response.

Thanks for you help.

I was driving my Stag around the other day when the HICAS light came on. Nothing else was noted just the HICAS light. After investigation I conducted the HICAS self diagnosis procedure. I assume it has the same HICAS as R34 Skyline as the HICAS flashing code seemed to be in accordance with the R34 Workshop manual.

It came up with code 13 - and according to the R34 manual it says it's a motor output fault and to conduct inspection 3. Does anyone know what inspection 3 is? and are there common faults I should be looking for?

Thanks for your help.

Your light is telling you to get rid of the hicas. Actually I didn't know the RS4S had Hicas - I thought only the 260Rs had it. If you do have hicas maybe you could check to see if the motor is working ( either by jacking up the car and observing or checking it with a multimeter).

Kiwi,

Can you detail a little more what procedure I could go through to check it by jacking it up and also with the multimeter?

Thanks again.
