Plugged my car into my conzult, jacked up the back of the car, put her in park and selected similation drive in the hicas menu. turned the steering wheel but could not see the rear wheels moving. am i doing summat wrong or does my hicas not work.

Was the engine on ? (HICAS needs hydraulic pressure from the pump to be able to operate)

 

If it was, then there's probably something wrong with your HICAS system

Hi Eric,

 

I had the same thing on 2 cars I tried and couldn't get it to work :(

Vijay, was it showing readings of the sensors ?

And what version of the software did you use ? (v2.0 should work fine..there were problems with v1.2 and v1.3)

 

I had a chance to test/demonstrate it on quite a few cars at Billing and it worked fine for most Zeds.

(except for the ones that had HICAS disabled or those that were known to be faulty)

 

It even worked fine on a few Skylines I demonstrated the conzult on :)

So would it really still work with the autobox in 'park' ?

Hi Eric,

 

I haven't tried it on ver 2.0.

It shouldn't cause any problems, unless the rear wheels are locked in an incorrect position or when the HICAS rear power cylinder is allowing too much free movement on the rear wheels

 

>>So would it really still work with the autobox in 'park' ?

 

Yes, for autos put the gearbox to "P", for manuals put gearbox in neutral

You could do the standard Nissan HICAS test to check if it's working.

That would tell you if it's a HICAS fault or a Conzult problem ;)
