R32 Gtr Hicas Remove

[Kaido_RR]

Hi

Just got a question, for an r32 gtr, if the hicas has been completely remove and replace with a lock bar (complete ecu system remove). Is it normal for the HICAS light to be on on the dash?

and if it is what is the best way to turn it off? (remove the bulb?)

Check to see if the HICAS control unit is still under the rear parcel shelf, if it IS, then check your power steering fluid level

nope its been remove. everything for the hicas is gone i think this may be the reason why the hicas light is on because its looking for the hicas ecu?

however i will double check the power steering levels just incase.

edit: from what i was told hyperdrive remove the hicas system so im thinking it was done correctly and maybe i just need to add a constant power to the hicas ecu plug so it thinks its there

HICAS control unit (it's not an ecu because it's not controlling the engine ) needs to be there, is your steering heavy aswell? as IIRC the HICAS control unit controls the speed sensitive steering too.

I removed everything HICAS related except the control unit.

Steering is fine. which is odd cuz like you said it should be heavy without the control unit aka ecu

edit: might have the double check that the control unit isn;t there but im 100% sure i didn't see it and just saw the plug hanging down (will check when i see the car tonight)

i removed the hicas and the little box and the light stayed on, steering was still fine. pull the bulb out or try and rewire the hicas box to think everything is still connected
