Problems With My Hicas

[turner166]

Hi everyone,

I bought my s1 R33 rb25det skyline last week with HICAS issues, the light was comming on and off, but two days ago it came on and has not gone off. I've been over many forums trying to figure out whats gone wrong but there seems to be so many. Ive been through my fuses nothing popped or broken, my power steering belt is fine, the fluid is full and the pump should still be working. It is fitted with a after market steering wheel and im not to sure how to tell if its correct or not.

The car was driving like a dream till this happen and its kind of a shame to drive it how she is now. i read about tomei hicas lock that i can wire into the HICAS ECU.. if i buy that isgoing it to be a sure fix?

Thanks in advance.

Does the HICAS light come on as soon as you start the car, or after you drive it for a while (like 5 mins)

There is a HICAS diagnostic test you can do, which will tell you how to find out what the problem is. Search the forum to find out the steps required to do the test, then post the results.

Light comes on as soon as i start the car now. I'll look for the diagnostic cheers

Also make sure there is definitely power to the HICAS ECU.

I think if the light is coming on straight away, it may not be the stearing wheel, as I think you have to drive the car for 5 minutes and over 80km/h for the steering wheel sensor to initiate the HICAS light (but I could be wrong)

1.fit lock bar (you can get em anywhere) 2,get a decent four wheel allignment 3.remove globe from dash

but if you really want to keep HICAS do a diagnostic test and if that doesnt seem to work toddle off to a reputable workshop and get them to sort it out

the last thing you want is that damned unit kicking in at the wrong time
