Over the past couple of weeks the HICAS light on my car has been coming on when I start the car and then eventually going off after driving for a few miles. It is now starting to stay on longer and even flashes on when I hit slight bumps in the road, no turning. From what I know about the 90-93 zx's, the HICAS is hydraulic, could this be a hydraulic/steering fluid problem or something else?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The fluid level for the power steering is low, probably has a high pressure power steering hose leaking. That's the most comon problem but could be something else as well.
I had a power steering problem in my 90 Non-Turbo. I siphened out about 12 ounces of the power steering fluid with a turkey baster, and added "Lucas" power steering fluid. Problem cleared right up! 7 dollars total cost, opposed to Goodyear wanting 1,200 to replace my whole rack and pinion.
