Hicas Light

[Cake]

Car drives fine, Hicas light doesn't come on immediately when turning the car on, only after driving for 1/2 hour or so. The power steering fluid level is also fine. Any idea what the problem could be, as it only occurs after driving for a while?

and yes aftermarket steering wheels that are fitted with out the special HICAS boss will show a fault!

got no clue what the HICAS light means and does??? I am pretty sure that it comes on when i drive over loose surfaces like gravel or something. what is its purpose?

[MegaGTS4]

croat,

The HICAS light's only function is to let the driver of the vehicle know that there is a fault with the HICAS system, basically it will light up in general driving when the system has a fault eg: low fluid in the power steering (R32 have reservoir in boot) ,any electrical connections for the HICAS can be dirty and also a number of sensors that can fail (vehicle speed, steering angle, engine speed........)

Also Note that having an after­market steering wheel fitted without the proper HICAS boss adaptor can also cause the HICAS system to show a fault.

The HICAS light will also display the code for the fault after diagnostics has been run.

More than likely just a dodgey sender unit.

Mega,

The reservoir in the boot is, I'm pretty certain, only there on AWD models (GT-R. GTS4), and its for the ATTESSA 4WD system.
