KJS Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hi guys, I always have my HICAS light on after ignition I can't understand why it can come on suddenly but most the time it doesn't the only thing I notice is there are certain criteria it will come out: if I just turned off the ignition, let's say when I reached my friend's place, and after she is out from her house, I ignite again then the light will be on it's like having a short interval of engine off and then when it is on, the light is on another is when my car is not on a flat surface let's say I am on a slope, sometimes it just comes out when I ignite main thing is, it comes on when I start my car. Usually it doesn't happen, but it is unpredictable and makes it hard to drive I checked the power steering fluid, it is fine. the steering is not as smooth as when I first bought the car tho (even without HICAS light on) the fluid is filled. so what other things I should check? like any possible cause?

zertek Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 hicas does a start up procedure when u turn the key in your ignition barrell when the car is stationary. So if something is not right it doesnt activate. The last time i had a problem with it, it was because my steering wheel wasnt completely straight (steering angle sensor is behind your horn button) when i was driving in a straight line (wheel alignment). That caused the hicas to have a cry. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/245837-hicas-on-after-ignition/#findComment-4276124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
