2 years ago i was having major problems with my hicas..... noone could figure out what was happening not the mechanics... not the nissan hicas test software not nothing.... the light always used to come on when doing low speeds...

the reason why it was coming on was because small fragments from the broken horn button had found they're way into the path of the steering angle sensor. I could make the hicas light come on when doing U turns, when going around corners really on cue....

When taking these corners these bits of plastic moved infront of the sensor blocking the information the sensor need to adjust the rear wheels so hence the light came.

question: If hicas only works at speeds above 80km/h why was my light coming on? I wasnt taking these corners/ u turns at 80km and above...... If it does only work 80 and above there would be no need for the sensor to try and read the angle of my steering wheel.

my conclusion: IT OPERATES BELOW 80km/h

once I found the bits of plastic and removed them I never had a problem again. Everything else was working fine as the entire car was tested using a hicas/ nissan computer in bayswater.

It doesn't come on at low speed to help you park???

and no I dont park at 35-40kmp/h.

I am speaking from personal experience not from what I have read.

The light does not indicate that the HICAS system is operating, only that there is some malfunction. In your case, from a sensor malfunction.

the only fault was that the steering angle sensor couldnt communicate with the angle of my wheel....

but why should it be doing this if i wasnt going above 80km/h..... there was no major fault as it was plugged into hiocas test equipment.

I have HICAS on my R31 GTS-R.

It definately works at low sped as I tested with the car stationary. Parked next to a wall and chocked a thin piece of wood to just sit there between the tyre and wall. Turn the wheel and it fell down. About the 60 or 80 km/h thing I was told that the wheels turn in the opposite direction to low speeds. Mine turned the same way the fronts did when stationary but at higher speeds could not tell.

why should an ABS light come on all the time when the ABS module fails....after all the ABS does work all the time does it?

It is a warning light (like all the others in the dash). It is not an "ABS in use" light.

It's not like the "slip" light fitted to some.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
