Another Hicas Issue.

[Jenius]

I'm guessing some of you have had a similar issue here.

But my HICAS light has started to light up during a cold start and basically stays on for about 5mins. Interestingly it also tends to flick on when I do left turns it certain speeds and I can feel the steering to be a little less responsive during these left hand encounters.

Could this be a sensor that's been knocked out? I've also read somewhere that for R32's the HICAS needs fluid replacement as they are hydraulic rather than electrically actuated.

Found the fix for this. The Hicas light is also a Power Steering warning light. So checked the Power steering pump reservoir. (located between the Airbox and the suspension tower in the R32) and it was almost empty. So just refilled with ATX (Auto transmission) fluid. All running well now.

Just need to check steering rack now as it could be leaking as the result. 8-/
