Hicas And Aaftermarket Steering Wheel?

[silver gts-t]

been searching around looking at all the hicas issues, none seem to be the same as mine although probably have the same soloution.

when im driving at 50km/h or so and jump on it the 4WS kicks in and the rears send me me in an awkward direction but the hicas light doesnt come on.

now this has only started happening since the aftermarket steering wheel.

im trying to get around this without a lock bar.

now 1 more point....

the original hicas plug has 2 contact point behind the original that it plugs into but i only have one plugged in, is it as simple as connecting the other contact??

any thoughts

thanks

someone i know had exact same thing happen but they had the hicas light come on also. if you don't have a proper hicas type boss kit then either buy one and fit or a proffessional or cluey person may be able to rig it up so it works..... it is the boss and wire/sensor thingys that would be causing the issue.

I had exactly the same problem.

my solution was to unplug it.

there are 2 plugs for the hicas.

they are under the parcel tray.

when you disconnect one, the light stays on..

you don't want that one.

disconnect the other one and HICAS no longer works and you don't go wobbling all over the place.

people told me over and over that this is not right and it won't stay in one place and shit.

but it did.

if you go in the boot, if I recall, the plugs are closer to the right speaker..

ill give them both a try tonight

the hicas light does come on but only while driving on hwy

are both the contacts behind the horn for hicas???

or is one the horn?

i pluged everything up properly and still no go....

there must be some way the normal wheel would signal the 4WS.

anyone with more info?

your problem is that it's not the correct boss for your car. some have the sensor 'lugs' in the 12 and 6 position some have them in the 2 and 7 position. have a look at your factory wheel and see which one you have. hicas light should not come on at all if it's working properly.

What year is your car? Its most likely meant to have the lugs at 2 and 8 or there abouts. If its a later model (late-92/93 through 94) it may have them at 12 and 6.

But as Richard said, the best way is to grab the OEM wheel and lineup the dot on the wheel with the dot on the spline and see where the lugs are meant to fit.

its a 93

has got the leather wheel like a gtr

i didnt notice any dots

and what spline??

There should be a dot on the steering wheel where it joins the column, and a dot on the end of the the steering shaft/spline (close to the edge) that emerges from the column (and that the wheel attaches too). Obviously you line the two dots up and rotate the HICAS prongs so they fall into the holes on the wheel.

Does that make sense (sorry, tired, not explain well ).

No worries. Nice to see its sorted Out of interest, were the HICAS prongs meant to be at 12 and 6 or 2 and 8?

[silver gts-t]

12 & 6
