R32 Gtr Hard Pwr Steer Feel

[Mr GTR-32]

Hi i need help my power steer is always hard to turn like as if i was driving at 200klm per hr real hard all the time, sometimes when i start the car and before i leave to go out it becomes really light like it should be when parking and not moving. Then after 40seconds goes back to being hard, is there any helpful hints to diagnose what it is, anyone have a wiring diagram for me to go by?, what exactly could i do to fix this i am looking at removing my hicas with lock bar soon can i address it then?. Any info would be great as im tired of feeling like im doing a bicep work out when i drive my girl.

cheers,

Dave.

Is your speedo working? If not that could be your problem. If it is, it might be the module under the parcel shelf. Hicas lock bar will get rid of the problem. Just make sure it's done properly.

[Mr GTR-32]

Thanks Brad yeah speedo is working, hopefully the hicas lockout will do the trick but when you say properly what exactly do you mean are the different ways of doing the lockout job?.

Cheers,

Dave

Have you checked the P/S fluid? Is the HICAS warning light working (comes on just before you start the engine)?

Hicas lockout won't fix the power steering. Have a look for the hicas diagnostic, and see what it throws back in the way of error codes.

[Mr GTR-32]

Yeah checked owe steer fluid good and light comes on and goes of does the R32 have some sort of dual solenoid for slow speed and high speed sensing maybe.

[heller44]

No, it has only one solenoid that varies the pressure assist for what road speed the car is doing, in an almost linear relationship, slow lots of assist, fast less assist..

You have speedo, you have the fault light working, so have a look in the diy and tute section for the hicas dagnostic, not really a lot of help that can be given until you do that..
