Hicas Dash Light

[N13Astra]

Can anyone tell me what the HICAS light means if its on?

Can someone PM me the service manual for a r33 series 2?

Also, the car seems to be cutting out at revs past 4000rpm. The guy reckons its the coil packs. Any thoughts?

HICAS is nissans 4 wheel steering.

if the light is on, there is a problem.

don't have the manual

if it is cutting out while you are accelerating, it is a misfire of some sort.

most common causes seems to be : Too large a gap in spark plugs, try to gap them down to 0.8 if they are larger, or coil packs are old and are arcing out.

try taping them really tight with electrical tape as a temporary measure.

Worth checking the level of your power steering fluid. Hicas works of the same pump and resevoir and if you are low on fluid, you can get the warning, particularly when accelerating up hill.

that's how the R32 hicas is anyway.

R33 is not hydrolic and doesn't use the power steering fluid.

that's why I just said it means there is a problem cause he did not mention what car it was on.
