Styline GTR Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hey Guys, When i take the Key out of the Ignition and the Turbo timer is running there is a clicking noise in the Engine bay somewhere. It only clicks when the key is out and turbo timer is running. the HICAS lights flashes continuouslly on the dash and it ticks away like something is trying to Click into place or something.. Any Help???? Doesn't click when key is in and driving so no problems there!!!

Godzilla32 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Could well be a relay as they will click. If it is a relay there is a reason for it to be operating. Best to do a diagnostic on the HICAS system. If you dont know how to download the workshop manual.

The Abs Light is on in the dash and apparently the relays are the problem on the ABS unit! could this be the clicking noice even when the hicas light flashes on the dash when the turbo timer is running???

R32Abuser Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 i doubt it will be the ABS as it happens exactly the same on my car, and mine is a 32 Gts-T (non abs). Someone briefly mentioned the Hicas Solenoid in the engine bay, but im really not quite sure.

Styline GTR Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 When the engine Is ticking and clicking when turbo timer is running the powersteering pipe seem to rattle near the Battery! like the pipes are not getting fluid in them but it seem to be steering fine!! I think there the steering fluid pipes that run beside the battery and between the radiator!

r33cruiser Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 could it be possible that when u wired it to the ecu that u have a few wires in contact with each other. this may be causing the problem?

trism Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 rather than asking for help over the internet, and a month later not being any closer, can i suggest taking it to a mechanic/workshop?
