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?

Does your speedo work? If it doesn't then thats why. Lock bar will fix your problem haha.

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.

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.

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.

soo your saying if I get a Hicas Boss kit it should resolve the problem..as Ive changed the pump and rack a few mnths back and it still comes on?

nah hicas boss kit is just an adapter you need to use when you try and fit an aftermarket steering wheel.

If you have standard steering wheel ignore everything ive said :)

thanks for the help mate

Ive recently changed the steering wheel and the light at times comes on about an hr of driving. As I turn the car on it the morning there will be no light..its weird

did you change to an aftermarket steering wheel?

Did you use an appropriate adapter which works with hicas? Did you have this problem before the change of steering wheel?

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

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
