When i brought my zed i was told the hicas was disabled and thought nothing of it, but having looked a bit closer the hicas light intermitantly gos off.... so im thinking it probably hasnt been disabled and is just playing up...

 

it seems to come on and go off as it pleases, sometimes it stays off for ages other times it flickers off/on then stays either of or on, but i cant really find any pattern to its behaviour...

 

anyone got any suggestions on what might be going on or where i can start with this...?

Well if it has been disabled then the Hicas light will stay on all the time mate, if you have disabled it from the connections under the master cyl.

Otherwise i would check ya fluid levels fella as it works your power steering too ;)

Yup

Power steering fluid level is where I would start

Got the same on one of mine

Top it up about once a month

ok this is gonna sound really stuipid, but what sort of level should the p/s be at...? its just the previous owner has painted over the outside of the container so i can only see through the top!!! :headvswal :headvswal also what grade of p/s fluid needs to go in? Im guessing by the fact the light sometimes gos off the hicas isnt disabled....

you need to take a look inside the pot mate to get to the dip stick, this is the pot at the front left hand side of your engine bay and not the one at the back, hope thi helps.

My light came on for the first time last week and the streering went all heavy, toped it up with P/S fluid which seems to do the trick...

yea actually had a lookafter my post and realised about the dipstick thing, any specific P?S fluid recommended or just any decent brand do?
