Anyone know how to enter the HICAS Diagnostic mode?

I have tried the way in the guide and cant get it to work :(

Isn't it pull the hand brake to first click??

I dont know mate? I had it on full. Should it have been off?

Guy i got mine from said pull to first notch+ footbrake on.

I've Never tried it though!

I've read on the net to turn the steering wheel from right to left for 20 sec and dab on the brakes. tried it but didn't work. My amber light comes on after about 5miles driving along a road a speed, but can drive around town for ages and it never comes on. would like to know about it and dose it matter.

Is the steering wheel on straight??? Is it a standard steering wheel?

It's a MOMO steering wheel, and driving in a straight line the centre spoke looks about 31-32 mins past the hour. 1996 import with electronic HICAS. NOT meaning to hi jack your thread mattymoo just thought it was all relevent. Type HICAS into google and you shall find what I read on how to put HICAS into diagnostic mode. like I said before I coudn't get it to work.

Mattymoo - I had to do this a few weeks ago now to bleed the hicas unit (as I'd had the subframe off).

(From memory here:)

- Sit in car with ignition off

- Make sure steering wheel is central

- Perform the following all within 10 seconds:

- Turn steering wheel from left to right 5 times (so that about 10 actual movements)

- then press the brake pedal 5 times

 

If that's been executed correctly you should find that turning the steering wheel left or right will now move the rear wheels.

I'll post back in a minute if I can find the page in the online manual.

 

Found it: Online manual (page 73 in the steering section)

 

Hope this helps

Simon.
