Destero Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 latly my 32's hicas light has been comen on after a little while of driven. after driven it around for quite a bit since the light has been coming on i have now narrowrf it down to these factors if i drive for a long period of time it comes on if i drive for 5 mins slowly and then i boost the light comes on the light comes on and does not disapear untilli turn the engine off. so pretty much i have came to the conclusion that if i boost or do highway driving where the wheels are spinning quite quickly my hicas comes on. i have taken it to a normal mechanic and they had no idea what a hicas really was so im after specific help what can i do/check to stop the light comen on Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/217190-32-hicas-lightproblem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 where is the hicas fluid located? i see the power steering but is there a seperate 1 for the hicas? Its the same thing really. Now I gota GTR (Might be the same as GTS-T, Im not sure, just have a look) - OK so you check the one at the front in the engine bay. Make sure thats topped up. - NOW open your boot / As you are facing the boot, on the bottom right handside, there is a panel you can unscrew, there will be another tank/resevour, Top that up with powersteering fluid. The same thing happend to me and what is said above is what I did. End Result = My HICAS Light turned off. I have posted this before BUT some ppl seem to think the tank/resevour in the boot is for the ATTESA-ETS... Only other thing I can suggest its to get your mechanicn check the fuese in the fues box, do a wheel alignment and even diagnose the cars ECU to see if it can pick up any faults in the system if the light still does not turn off. BTW let me know how you go about filling up the rear tank/resevour (thats if you have one, LOL!), if that is topped up and switches off the light then I can say its for the HICAS.

GTRBOS Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 i had the same problem man, fill up your power steering fluid and then fill up the rear hicas aswell, then start the car and drive it for a while for about 5-10mins and then you will know if there is a lak in your hicas system because i had the same problem and my mechanic told me to do that, and also go get a wheel alignment and im pretty sure you would be ok, i was at the stage of removing the hicas but i ended up fixin it, hope that helps mate, cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/217190-32-hicas-lightproblem/#findComment-3872345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKYRUPTOR Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I.ve got the exact same problem. I have just come on to this forum to find out if anyone knew why the HICAS light comes on.

Thanx for the help Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/217190-32-hicas-lightproblem/#findComment-3878655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFX_Hardcore Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) My HICAS light comes on in my 32 R after several minutes of highway driving also... All fluids are fine. Anyone know why it does this? Does it do this with all 32 R's or? Maybe I have a HICAS lockbar? Would the light be on always if I had a lockbar or never? The reservoir in the boot on the right IS for the 4WD system. Still requires power steering fluid, but is not for the HICAS.

Chang Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Ok just to clear some things up. Yes the R32 GTR does have a hicas fluid reservoir in the back right of the boot. NOTE any other varient R32 including GTS-t GTS will not have a reservoir there so don't bother looking. Wheels alignments should only be a last resort IMO. Here's some possiblilites. 1: If you have an aftermarket steering wheel, you SHOULD have a hicas bosskit or your light will stay on continously. 2: Your hicas ECU in the trunk, on the underside of the parcel tray may have a fault. 3: Possible leaks in the steering / low power steering fluid. 4; If your hicas has been deleted you should be able to see a lock bar in there (in this case you don't need to worry about the light) If all else fails just eliminate hicas altogether. It's cheap and you'll find handling alot more predictive.
