Message Put your car in neutral or Park with the car running, and hit the brakes repeatedly and turn the steering wheel from left to right, lock to lock. It will activate the diagnostic mode and you'll see the back wheels move significantly. If they move nothing is missing. Just as the other guys mentioned, the 94 moved from hydraulic actuators to electrical, which gave precise movement under all weather conditions and elevations. With the hydraulic system, if the fliud got extremely hot or extremely cold, the HICAS characteristics would change, just like the way your brakes feel different after running them really hard. Also, the electrical system is less prone to failure by eliminating most of the hydraulics which can be prone to leaking. Also sheds a few pounds from the Z if I'm not mistaken.
