Cake Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Car drives fine, Hicas light doesn't come on immediately when turning the car on, only after driving for 1/2 hour or so. The power steering fluid level is also fine. Any idea what the problem could be, as it only occurs after driving for a while? Chris.

MegaGTS4 Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Sorry to state the obvious but you have run HICAS diagnostics haven't you?(just that you didn't mention it) if you haven't read this! (click on it) http://www.powerlink.co.nz/%7Egraeme/faq/index.html and yes aftermarket steering wheels that are fitted with out the special HICAS boss will show a fault!

MegaGTS4 Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 croat, The HICAS light's only function is to let the driver of the vehicle know that there is a fault with the HICAS system, basically it will light up in general driving when the system has a fault eg: low fluid in the power steering (R32 have reservoir in boot) ,any electrical connections for the HICAS can be dirty and also a number of sensors that can fail (vehicle speed, steering angle, engine speed........) Also Note that having an aftermarket steering wheel fitted without the proper HICAS boss adaptor can also cause the HICAS system to show a fault. The HICAS light will also display the code for the fault after diagnostics has been run.

Mega,The reservoir in the boot is, I'm pretty certain, only there on AWD models (GT-R. GTS4), and its for the ATTESSA 4WD system.
