ashsik Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 My Hicas light still comes on when I start the car. I got my power steering rack and the pump replaced not long ago and it still comes on. Could it be the Hicas pump? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/293877-hicas-light/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock bar will fix your problem haha. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/293877-hicas-light/#findComment-4904422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russman Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 everything works just at times Ill start the car and the hicas light will stay on and my steering will be real stiff Well if the steering is stiff then it'll be the pump or the rack again. Nothing to do with the rear hicas I don't think. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/293877-hicas-light/#findComment-4906465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

arep3 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 HICAS is the rear steering in your car. that light can come on for numerous reasons.... if u see the light and wanna fix it, the easiest way is to disable it. R32s you remove the hicas rack completely and replace it with a lock bar. you can remove all of the hicas stuff with it. plumbing, hicas solenoid etc. R33s onwards are electric. just as easy to disable, just done differently.

Rekin Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well if the steering is stiff then it'll be the pump or the rack again. Nothing to do with the rear hicas I don't think. hicas determines speed sensitive steering. Often when hicas plays up the steering does get heavy. It happens to people who swap steering wheels to aftermarket but dont use a hicas boss kit, they all get heavy steering due to no hicas input being received to ecu.

If you have standard steering wheel ignore everything ive said Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/293877-hicas-light/#findComment-4912125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

arep3 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Problems are usually caused by the most simplest things. Did you have the HICAS light come on before you changed your steering wheel? If not, try putting the stock steering wheel back on and see what happens.

arep3 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 i agree with Russ as well. I dont have HICAS in my car. i stripped everything i could. yet every so often i get heavy steering and ive rebuilt both the rack and the pump. there is a solenoid on the rack that may have something to do with it.... ill get round to it eventually Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/293877-hicas-light/#findComment-4915893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
