Hicas Light

[skybox 32]

I just noticed today, when i turned the key to switch off the car, the hicas light went on for a second before the turbo timer took over.. Do I have an issue here?

I think its normal.

Mine does a similar thing when you turn the car Off, the Turbo Timer starts, the HICAS light pops up for a split second then goes off.

Iam not exactly sure what triggers the HICAS light to come on, but put it this way, the car was never designed to have a turbo timer and when one is installed, it tricks the car in still thinking its on, which it is.

So I asume there is some electronic interferance but non harmful...

BTW I think it only happens occationally, cuz when I turned my car off tonight, the light did not turn on.

So its kinda intermitten... But still its fine.

Cool!

I've got a similar problem but only when I start the car after its been sitting there for a few hours. Won't happen if the engine is already warm.

The light pops up and stays on for around 5-10mins then just turns off.

Any ideas?

Have a check of your HICAS fluid...

Sounds like the sensor is not sensing any fluid until 5-10 mins later...
