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?

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.
