Hi All,

I can not seem to find the answer to my question as i have just installed a Hicas lock bar.

What has happened is i have lost my ABS and TCS so currnetly on the dash i have the following lights on.

Hicas (which is expected), TCS, Slip and ABS. Also the ABS pump makes a wirring noise everytime i start the car now.

Has anyone run into this problem and how did they go about fixing it??

Hey guys, when i first did mine i had the same problem but it was just to do with a wiring connector... I unplugged all of the connectors and put them in the boot not realising that within the HICAS loom is the rear ABS wiring too.... Without ABS you wont have Traction control.... Look for the ABS connecter and plug it in and your problem goes away...

I am pretty sure it sounds like the same problem as mine, but it may not be? I had to cable tie the loom to the lock bar to make it work... :cheers:

I will try and find this, but i thought i had only disconected plugs that were conneected to the hicas motor.

I may have pulled out one i was not meant to i will have a look over the long weekend and see what i can come up with.

is the plug you are talking about in the rear of the car??

I have cable tied my spare cables to the lock bar as well.

finally got around to looking at this and found the ABS plug but can not see where i am meant to plug it back in to.

Any one have pictures of how there hicas lock bar looks like for reference.

I put a hicas lock bar in my 34gtt series 2, unplugged all the plugs hooked to the hicas motor, tied them to the lock bar.

I dont remember exactly if i hooked anything back up and have had no problems with ABS or traction for over a year now

heres a pic of mine just 2 compare, it looks as tho the blue one is the one that needs to be plugged back in

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
