HICASDiagnostic:
 
Turbos come standard with High Capacity ActivelyControlled Suspension, a fancy way to say 4 wheel steering. There's a visualdiagnostic mode to check for problems in the HICAS functions. The 90-93TTs have hydrolic HICAS running off the power steering pump, where '94+utilizes electric actuators to handle the rear steering chores. Their codesare a little different, but the procedure is the same. It might requireda few tries to make it work. Be persistant!

Procedure:

1. Ignition switch 'off' manual tranny in neutral or A/T in 'P' 

2. Start the engine 

3. Within 10 seconds after turning the key to 'ON', start the engine, turn steeringwheel from left to right 20 degrees from neutral 5 times or more times& pump the brakes 5 times. Then press the brake pedal again to enterthe test mode.

4. Turning the steering wheel left or right past 20 degrees from neutralwill cause the rear wheels to turn slightly (~1 degree) (1.).

5. Drive the car forward 15 feet under 9mph to enter the full diagnosticmode. 

6. The HICAS dash light will flash a code indicating any problems. Longflash is first digit, short flash is 2nd digit. 

7. Diagnostic mode is exited when: ignition is turned off, vehicle speedexceeds 9mph, or diagnostic has operated for 5 minutes.

HICAS light codes for '90-'93:

1.  HICAS solenoid R.H.
2.  HICAS solenoid L.H.
3.  Cut-off valve
4.  Power Steering solenoid
5.  Vehicle Speed sensor
6.  Steering angle sensor
7.  Steering Neutral positon sensor
8.  A/T:  Parking Brake Sensor      M/T:  Clutch sensor
9.  A/T:  Inhibitor sensor                M/T:  Neutral sensor

HICAS light codes for '94-'99:

11. HICAS control unit 
12. HICAS motor power supply not present 
13. HICAS motor output not present 
21. Vehicle speed signal not present 
22. Steering angle sensor angle signal not present 
23. Steering angle sensor neutral not present 
24. Rear main sensor input not present 
25. Rear sub sensor input not present 
31. Parking brake sensor input not present 
32. Inhibitor switch (A/T) or nuetral switch (M/T) input not present 
33. Engine speed signal not present
