my hicas light comes on after almost exactly 20mins from start up

do not feel a noticeable difference either way, so was wondering if this means it is on or off?

was told after purchasing (as i hadnt d4riven it for 20mins on test drive), that this light comes on after the hicas has warmed up or something and when it comes on it means the hicas has been activated??

any light shed on subject appreciated.

am not having a good run with this car@all

Hey Dude,

Only had ma GTR for a week, so Im no expert, but the light isn't supposed to come on, who ever told you that is full of it. Check these forums, it can mean anything from low power steering fluid ( R32) to a dud sensor.

Start with the HICAS diagnostic mode ( again check forums )

( Mine came on for 400km last weekend when I hit a pot hole in a hick town between QLD and Tamworth, but has now disappeared )

Hope this helps

Aftermarket steering wheel

Fitted mine last night, thought hte yellow round thing with the H on it was for the horn lol so i removed it,,, its actually the HICAS sensor...it has to be the right way up, the sensor needs to be adjusted try taking the wheel off and adjusting it. Ill fix mine later...

The light comes on after about 10 20 minutes driving

Can you damage anything by having the light come on and doing nothing about it? My light also comes on but only if I'm on a long drive. I've been told that it's a sensor issue, but as I don't have any steering dramas when it comes on and rarely go on long drives I haven't bothered fixing it.

"Gonna get paaaaaaaaanched!"

well if you have an aftermarket steering wheel and its coming on, its almost definately that your sensor isnt lined up properly, however their is always that % of doubt that your HICAS is actually ****ed.

HICAS = High Capacity Actively Controlled Suspension, a fancy way to say 4 wheel steering

high-performance system which steers the rear wheels in either phase (same direction) or counterphase (opposite direction) as needed (to a maximum of one degree) to enhance steering response and cornering power of the rear tires

If you dont have an aftermarket steering wheel and your light is coming on, get it checked out, and fixed if you need the 1 degree turning power in the rear wheels lol

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
