HICAS question

[R32Dragon]

Hey there, im new to the Z32 world, just picked up my first one last weekend. I'll probably be asking you 300z elders here a bunch of questions lately, and would appreciate it if yall hooked me up.

Well first off, I already know a bit about the HICAS system since im a former S13 guy. The prob is, is when I first picked it up, the HICAS warning light wasnt on. Now it is. What exactly does this mean? Is HICAS disabled? Broke? Sensor bad?

Thanks for any input.

that would mean you are low on power steering fluid, check it and top it off

^ yep....that's the most likely cause

Make sure you use ATF for your power steering fluid

[deknick]

ATF? automatic transmission Fluid?

why is that?

[evildky]

atf is also a hydraulic fluis similar to power steering fluid but thicker, niaan and many other cars usese atf for their power steering fluids, people putting regualr steering fluid in thier system makes leaks worse
