HICAS Fault and Fuse Blowing HELP Please.

[TokyoTaxi]

Hi all,

A friend of mine has an R33 GTS ( RB25DE ) in which the HICAS light started coming on every now and then. I used info from an old posting I found here and performed the diagnostic procedure ( cool thing to see ! ).

Anyway, the HICAS light flashed in the following sequence but I have no idea what it means.

10 short flashes, 5 second gap, 2 long flashes and then 2 short flashes.

ALSO........ When my friend went to drive home that night, there were no illumination dash lights ( warning lights worked ) and the rear ( possibly front also ) parking lights were out. Found the 10 AMP fuse and replaced it but it blew on installation and then again after that.

I can only assume that these two events are related because all lights were fine before the HICAS test was carried out.

If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated as I'm stumped !!!!!!

OK. Forget about the fuse blowing / lights problem ( figured that one out ).

But can someone PLEASE tell me what results of the hicas test mean.

Hicas light flashes: 10 short flashes, 5 second gap, 2 long flashes and then 2 short flashes.

Anyone ?????????
