My power steering has been playing up periodically.
I fitted a lockbar, but the same thing is still happening, more so now.
eg. Start it up, steering feels normal (light) for a couple of minutes, then gets heavy and stays heavy. If i turn the car off for a minute or so, and back on, it's back to normal for as long as i drive usually. Then maybe on the next start it might be heavy again, or will revert to heavy while driving.
I removed the steering postion sensor from behind the steering wheel. I thought removing it would probably make the steering heavy all the time. It seems to have made no difference.
I removed the hicas fuse from the boot. No difference.
I unplugged the hicas ecu. Steering gets heavy.
So what should i be looking at? The hicas ecu is faulty?
Considering removing the steering position sensor has made no difference, i would imagine that cant be the issue, or removing it would have caused heavy steering constanlty.
And why with the fuse removed do i still get light steering for extended periods? I thought that would kill the whole hicas deal.
Your advice / experience is appreciated.
And also, forget the hicas light. I dont care about the light being on. Just the weight of the steering. I'd gladly replace the hicas bulb with one 10 times brighter, just to have my normal steering back
