Hicas Light On When Aircon Turned On?

[Rekin]

Hello,

Have a r32 GTST with HICAS in car.

When i turn key over to accesories and let the fuel pump prime (GTR pump) all the dashlights are on (as normal) but the Hicas light dims with the priming of the pump (can hear cycles for a couple seconds)

Once car started and driving no problem at all.

Stopped at a set of lights, and turned on the aircon. The Hicas light turned on and was dimming/flashing. Revs were stable on idle. When i turned on aircon, the hicas light disapeared???

Why is my HICAS light being triggered by aircon? Battery voltage wasnt anything low 13v with lights and aircon on.

Does anyone understand how they relate?

Thanks

id be inclined to thinks its either electrical, a short in the dash perhaps.

or... a slipping/loose belt or low power steering fluid

but im stabbing in the dark

best thing to do is to determine if the hicas is actually the problem.... or if the blinking light is the problem.

i have an issue with a hicas light also, when my car is idling and sometimes almost cuts out the hicas light will come on and then go.any ideas?

OP. I'd say you have a bad earth somewhere.

Mafia, could be for you too,

another weird hicas light on mine is, when i go to takeoff from 1st gear and my twin plate catches and revs drop a bit, my hicas light flashes

powersteering fluid is good btw
