For the technical minded folk out there remind me the reasons that the hicas light comes on while driving? Checked oil level and is fine. Plus this is on a 95+ zed with electric rear hicas

mine does it too, but the fault on mine is that it bangs of my after market exhaust !

 

I gues on electronic hicas a fault light may show if it detects a failure in the motor or something

ah its on after market exhaust as well so could be causing a problem

Do you have an Aftermarket steering wheel ?

If so, is it :

a. Fitted with a Hicas compatible boss *

b. Centred straight on **

 

*Most bosses out there are not Hicas compatible - and usually listed for the 300zx NA and 200sx

 

**The Hicas will throw an error if the wheel is not centrered, and your driving in a straight line for a mile or so - as it thinks your making a constant turn - whichobviously you cant be - so it errors and shutsdown.

have a check of the plug and wiring on the top of the PS fluid resovouir, mine does it too, but a bit of a tap and waggle of the plug makes it go out, just another thing i keep meaning to get round to fixing :)

ah yes it is on aftermarket steering wheel and boss. it does seem to do it after 20 miles or so but that could easily be the cause then ill look into it

 

Cheers
