91 Skyline Gtst Hicas Problem Please Help!


Recommended Posts

Hello last night my friend got in my car and was fooling around and he turned the wheel until it locked, the car wasn't started. i always park in my garage with my wheel perfectly straight,thats how i know he was messing around with it.anyways this morning i went to start my car and the key wouldn't turn, the wheel was about 20 degrees to the left so i had to turn the wheel just a little bit more to the left so my key would turn. after i drove for about 5 minutes i noticed that when i got to a stop sign or red light my hicas light would start flashing.and when i took the turn my steering became ackward and tried to counter steer a little bit. it only happens if i try to corner at a low speed like under 15km. now i did a hicas diagnostic test, and the code was 7 short flashes than 1 long flash than 1 short flash followed by a longer pause. and than it would repeat 7 short, 1 long, 1 short, 1 pause. now the only thing i could get outta this code is number 8 has a problem???? the parking break senser ?? does anyone have any information that can help me because driving has become anoying. thanks you.

the power steering fluid looks full.

what do you mean by steering rack?

i just recently had all my control arms and tie rod ends replaced.

could the problem be from my friend turning the steering wheel all the way til it locked?

what does the code mean from the hicas diagnostic test.

the 8th flash is long

park brake sensor???

any other ideas

Check for leaks. Sounds like Steering rack is gone.

Check your power steering fluid is full.

if its front steering having funny play back then its from the front more likely.

I had a Hicas issue with the light on my R33 GTR and it was the rear at the time. The unit died.
