I have just bought my Zed a have noticed that the red HICAS light sometimes stays on when I first start the car up then goes out after about 5-10mins of driving. It also feels like the steering lightens up a bit when the light has gone out.

I have just bought the car but it has only just started doing it and in that time i havent hit any kerbs or anything to cause the HICAS to error.

I have done a search and there is so much about HICAS on here so can someone with experience give me a quick answer of how to fix it.

I dont have any of the diagnostic equipment so cant check for error codes.

It seems like it may just need resetting. Is there a fuse i can pull to wipe the HICAS memory of the problem?

Check power steering fluid level

ditto - probably low fluid level

many thanks. Should i top up with Nissan Power steering fluid / any brand / premium brand? Should I just top up or is it advisable to replace the whole lot? If so, what is the capacity and step-by-step instructions of how to carry it out if you would be so kind.

just top it up mate.

You can buy it most garages/car spares shops.

You need Dexron Type II or III automatic transmission fluid but there's lots of different brands ;)

About £6 for a small bottle.
