Hicas light comes on after aprox 10-15 min of motorway driving.Have checked and topped up power steering fluid but still happening.At low speeds,town work it stays off. Has anyone any ideas please.

steering slightly off, you need a wheel alignment

either that or you hicas joints are faulty, does the back end feel funny at all? like it skips a bit over bumps

Speed sensor?

or air in the system.... just a thought :D

Do you per chance have an after market steering wheel? if so it'll probably be the boss that it's mounted on... it should be HICAS 'enabled'. Just guessing you may have an aftermarket steering wheel given the spec in your rides section... Nice car by the way!

My Zed started doing this when I changed to an aftermarket steering wheel, even though I had a "HICAS" boss. I have since ditched the HICAS and fitted an eliminator bar and the light still comes on - I just ignore it !

sounds like the steering wheel is set just out, which would be the reason. the hicas think your wheel is slightly turned when it should not be.

Thanks guys,well done stricker,probably after market steering wheel as i did not notice hicas light before.I tend to ingnore it,car feels good n tight.

Thought it maybe... anyhow it won't cause you an issue as the HICAS is disabled when the light comes on (I think)... I think you can get an 'enabled' boss from either Mike @ MJP, smithy on Danny @ DTA. They can be a right pain to line up... if you know someone with Conzult that will make it easier although given the power you're running I guess you'll go for a disabling kit?

Mike is in Essex and has Conzult etc. so probably not to bad for you to get to if you're going to keep the HICAS... Anyhow rambling now.. hope you sort it anyhow... Cheers

Sorry meant to say Nice car!!! Miss mine loadss; wish I'd kept it... :-(

Thanks stricker,im sure its disabled when light on,may fit disable kit at some stage,just want to make sure its reliable,bought end of March,didnt realy want modified but its in such good nik.Seems to run good,sounds what id call a sweet engine when on tick over,if you get my drift. Hope to meet up with some of you soon.
