Hicas

[carlie]

Just a question, if anyone can help.

Over the weekend my car was given a bit of a hard time so to speak :wassup:

Anyway when i stop and go to turn my car off, the hicas goes spastic! the hicas light flash.s on and off and the front wheels just keep turning left right left right.

I have no idea what this means???

shit that would really freak me out !

The *front* wheels? Mate that sounds really wierd, I'd be getting power steering setup checked. I have no idea what could cause the left-right thing but it doesn't sound good.

Btw HICAS only works the back wheels, it's probably going mental because it has NFI what the front is doing, ie the sensors are telling it porkies or something.

hehehe you've just discovered the HICAS test on your car... unfortunately there's a couple of things wrong with it.

a. Its supposed to be the rear wheels that do the lil dance more noticably than the fronts.

b. you're supposed to have the car in park then do a few things before it does the test. Not when you turn the car off.

I'd say there's sumfin wrong with your HICAS steering assist system, either the system trying to recalibrate itself or sumfin, or while givin it a hard drive you've manage to screw up one of the sensors.

Mine used to do that for a while too, now the hicas light is on 24/7 but I never managed to get the car to do the lil dance.

In the 32, the HICAS works off the P/S system. Usually the first thing to check when HICAS problems arise is the P/S fluid level.

My experience with the fronts going crazy was a bad connection onto the alternator, causing a 'low voltage' error in the P/S / HICAS.

But how can it all act freaky if the engine is off and therefore nothing being powered?

Sorry i should have explained better!

Its happening when i turn the car off but the turbo timers still running, its freaky :flamed:
