Firstly use the search function. There is heaps of info on here and you will get more help from others if you üse search first.

It could be many things from the fluid level, blown fuses, loose screw in the Attessa ECU even, dirty sensors in the wheel hubs, G sensor.

Is the ABS light on as well ?

Check the 4wd fuses in the fuse panel in the cabin and the fuse in the engine bay.

Check the fluid in the reservoir in the boot on the drivers side behind the trim panel (with ignition on)

- then get back

No abs light on, checked the attesa box in the boot had 9 flashes, abs actuator relay or circuit. But the ABS has been removed :s

The unit is reporting correctly (9. abs actuator relay or circuit) Yours has been removed so that s norm

Call the owner or visit him and ask what he has done. Doesn't sound like it has been bypassed in any way as its working as it should (Error Msg)

Maybe it is possible to bypass so the error is not reported.

Your solution may be to remove the globe from the cluster if it annoys you.

Got in the car this morning to take it for a drive and the light wasn't on I think I'll see how it goes next few days. I don't think it's anything to worry about. Thanks for your help.

Nizmoman asked the obvious question, "Does it have an aftermarket steering wheel?"

Now you must do some test driving NOT on the freeway, just normal suburban stuff that involves corners.

If your light stays off after the 20 or 30 minutes, the steering wheel boss is your problem.

A lot of aftermarket wheel kits don't locate the sensor correctly in the boss.

So the car thinks it's turning a huge circle when it's actually going straight ahead.

If you do suburban driving with corners etc, the HICAS ecu won't care but on a freeway with lots of straight ahead driving, eventually the HICAS ecu will throw a fault. (I found it to be around 20 minutes of straight steering)

Key on/off and you're usually you're good for another 20 or so minutes before the light comes on again.

However if your light returned even in suburban driving, you'll have to keep digging.

Hicas would put Hicas light on (if globe in cluster) and would be associated to 4WS and steering wheel as above, lock bar?.

but suppose could be an issue too...I'm not sure how 4ws and 4wd are connected.

First post mentioned 4WD light is on.

This definitely involves ABS, Brake system, Attessa ECU, Resevoir, Speed sensors, Pump, Solenoids and the G sensor. (and Attessas electrics)

So the guy I brought it off got back to me, says he never realised it :s but what ever!

He also informed me that it has a tomei hicas lock kit on it so maybe that has something to do with it, I don't even know what that is so will research it and see of it could be the problem.

Maybe I'll also get a new boss kit just to reduce the source of problems to choose from.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
