Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 I reckon the easiest way is to pop the pin from the relevant wire out of the plug and elec tape it to the loom . It doesn't take much longer and is reversible , not that you'd want to but why butcher something if doing it this way is so easy ? A . It's actually a little harder I started with a small screw driver than just gave up so side cutters and headshrinks came out Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428671-diy-stop-hicas-warning-light-without-bulb-removal/page/2/#findComment-6955812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSBoy Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 You may just have to work out a way to power the rack valve so you get assistance. The HICAS CU definitely is involved in the decisions about how much assistance you get.

nobby Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) The power steer resivour dipstick has a magnetic reed switch in it, the float on dipstick has the magnet, and reed switch is inside the dipstick. Reed switch inside the dipstick can fail, I repaired mine a few yrs back. If your switch has failed. the switch has a inline plug, unplug it, if light goes out then you have found the problem, the switch is faulty Jaycar had a new reed switch for $2 I pulled the wires with gromet intact out of dipstick paying close attention to correct height. took a solder iron to it and replaced reed. easy and cheap fix. solution = light went out. cheers Edited December 31, 2013 by nobby Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428671-diy-stop-hicas-warning-light-without-bulb-removal/page/2/#findComment-7156802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@&k Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Guys, just a little addition for those wanting to remove the pin from the loom plug rather than cutting the wire. After about 15 mins trying to push the pin out, noticed there was this grey cover on the plug. If you lift that up you can get to the latch which holds the pin in. I just used a tiny flat head screwdriver to lift up the latch thingy while pulling on the wire. This was on a Series 1 R33 Gtst, but hopefully is much the same for others. Thanks Johnny for this wiring tip. Got it sorted today after lock bar install, and no more HICAS warning 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428671-diy-stop-hicas-warning-light-without-bulb-removal/page/2/#findComment-7200212 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleptema Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Where in the boot is the hicas Ecu on an r34? I believe if you open the boot, squat down, and look directly in.. You should see it. It may be covered by a panel of felt/boot material, but yeah.

GTSBoy Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) On R32 it is near driver's side speaker. Shouldn't be too far away from there in a 34.
