Yesterday i noticed that the Hicas light was coming on when driving prior to this the battery light was coming on until i gave her a rev and drove her for a bit, then when i turned her off she wouldnt start i managed to get her jump started and just got her home with the car cutting in and out, this morning i went to start her and started fine and i drove her for a bit and she was still fine then the battery light and hicas light started again, is this the alternator??

Could be several things, maybe combined, maybe not !

Start with getting the battery checked then move on to the altenator. Next go to the air flow meter. There a bunch of connecting pins inside it that the soldered connections fail. I know this happened to mine. Also after all that check out your fuel pump to see if it aint on its last legs. Also the hicas light some times comes on if at some stage the fluid in the power steering resivour is low.

Hope this helps

i also have a problem with my hicas light coming on, tends to come on only when ive been driving for a while, especially at a speed of 80km/h +. Would this be a cause of low power steering fluid of is my case different?

Cheers,

Steve.

hi

my guess is your alternator is on its way out, probaly run out of brushes if your car has over 80k on the original alternator, the hicas light coming on is a symptom of low voltage, the hicas computer will reset and the light will come on then go out, the way to verify it is, there will be no fault code even tho the light has been on.[btw low fluid also has no fault code just the light on but your power steering will still work wheras during an ecu reset your power steering drops out.
