Problem with J30 and HICAS

[xtac]

Recently I got stuck in the snow, and after about 10mins of slick manuvering I got myself out. Now the next day I turn on the car, notice the HICAS sign is on. Now I'm still a newbie to cars in general, but the steering wheel is very stiff. I took it around the block it drives perfectly just the steering is stiff. I'm guessing it's the power steering fluid? but I tried to find it under the hood no luck. Can anyone help a poor kid out?Where exactly is the power steering fluid(diagram or something) and what could be the other cause of this HICAS sign on, and the stiff driving.

The power steering reservoir is on the left side of the motor if you are looking in from the front. It is a big black cylinder just past the battery. Since your Hicas light is on, I would say that one of your solenoids was disconnected or malfunctioned. You would have to get codes to know what it is exactly.

if the fluid level is low it will also throw the light on.
