GTR issues :( speedo gone, no power steering!

[lowrydn32]

hello,

i was driving on the freeway just before and i looked down to check my speed and apparently i was doing 0 kmph.

Also the power steering failed at about the same time..

I pulled over and turned off the car... then turned back on and the speedo didnt work still but the power steering worked for about 80secs and then failed.

what could be the problem.. every time i turn the car on to drive the power steering only works for abot 80 sec then doesnt work. the HICAS light also comes on about 2 mins after the power steering fails..

could the power steering and speedo problem be connected?

i have an R32 GTR

thanks

i have already reset the ECU and it didnt make any difference

Yes.. the problem is related..as power steering, and hicas relies on the speed sensor circuit.

Either your sender is stuffed, or the cable has snapped (check a diagram to see where the sender sits on the gearbox). Crawl under the car to take a look if you can see something obvious.

Hey I have the same problem, my speedo doesnt work and power steering only works for like a minute. What the hell is the problem?

It's the speedo cable, it's either come un done at the gear box end or has chewed out the speedo drive at the top end. The speed sensor on the r32 is connected to the back of the speedo drive so when the cable goes, the hicas goes bonkers and power steering weight initially goes light, then the hicas light comes on and weight is increased over standard, but it doesn't stop working completely.

TO revive an old topic, I also have this same problem my steering feels harder then normal and my speedo cable has snapped, Funny thing is my hicas light does not turn on and i know it works because in accesory mode the light turns on then turns off and when my fluid is down it also turns on. So my question is why isnt the hicas light turning on?
