Mine too, i'm not sure. I will try and sort it out this weekend.

I don't have the power steering hooked up at the minute, although may it just be the fuse or I can be far from it I onlt just drove my 32 for the first time the other day and have barley looked at it.

If he has a HICAS lock bar then that is the reason why the light is still on. You've removed the HICAS Rack from the car and it's telling you that there is a problem. Just pull the globe out of the back of the dash and you'll be fine

If he doesn't have the HICAS lock bar in and is still running the factory HICAS Rack in the car then he should take it to Nissan and get them to check it on the Consult to see what the problem is

There are so many reasons why the HICAS light can come on, and it can be a real pain to get rid of. Some really strange things have been known to set it off. Try simple solutions like topping up fluids, checking fuses etc. When my light came on, I just topped up the fluid reservoir (which wasnt THAT low) and it went off again.

my advice to u is, take it to an auto-electrician, preferably to nissan themself, but b4 you do that chek the fuse, if the fuse is blown then u cant do anything else urself coz thers about 20 components and about 50 wires u have to chek with a multi-metre yourself before you find the faulty component, i know from experience as this happend to my Honda Prelude Si 4WS, i spent about a day trying to find the faulty component, failed miserably, took it to honda and the guy found it in less than ten minutes, it was a wire that had been cut sumhow, so ye take it to nissan or sum other auto electrician

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
