What to do if the speed drops and the VAZ-2110 8 valve injector stalls

Instructions

Cars use electric fans to blow air over the radiator of the cooling system. The fan is an impeller driven by a DC electric motor mounted in a round or square frame. The activation of the electric fan is fully automatic and depends on the temperature of the coolant in the radiator. Fluid temperature data is taken from a sensor installed in the side compartment of the radiator. The sensor is a simple microswitch whose contacts are normally open. They close when a certain temperature is reached.

To connect an electric fan, you can use two circuits: relay and relayless. The difference between these schemes is clear from the name. The relayless circuit consists of a temperature sensor, fan, fuse, and connecting wires. The positive terminal of the electric fan is connected through a fuse to the positive terminal of the battery. The negative terminal of the fan is connected to any terminal of the temperature sensor; the polarity of the connection does not matter. The second terminal of the sensor must be connected to the car body. This is the simplest switching scheme and does not require much time to implement.

The relay circuit contains an electromechanical relay. The good thing is that the high current is removed from the sensor to the relay. The positive terminal of the fan is connected through a fuse to the battery, the negative terminal to the body. The negative wire must be cut and the resulting two wires connected to the normally open contacts of the relay. By default, our fan is turned off. One terminal of the relay coil must be powered from the battery positive through a fuse, or from the ignition switch. The second output of the coil should be applied to the first contact of the temperature sensor, and a wire connected to the body should be mounted from the second contact. Check in advance to see if the relay has a diode connected in parallel with the coil. If available, it is important to observe the polarity of the winding power supply.

Another useful modification for the fan switching circuit is a button installed in the car interior. The temperature sensor can fail at the most inopportune moment, so the button will be useful in emergency situations. Both when using the first scheme and when using the second, you need to connect the normally open contacts of the button to the temperature sensor. It’s easier this way, but if you use the first scheme, it turns out that there will be a large current on the button, and this can cause the button contacts to burn and the case to melt. Therefore, it is best to use the button in combination with an electromagnetic relay.

There are two ways to connect power supplies: series and parallel. With the first, the total voltage increases, and with the second, the capacitance increases. The increase occurs a number of times equal to the number of sources.

Instructions

Make sure both batteries are the same, equally worn, and charged to the same degree. If this is not the case, avoid connecting them in series or parallel.

To connect two batteries in series, connect the negative terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second. Do not connect the terminals that remain free (the positive pole of the first and the negative pole of the second) to each other under any circumstances, otherwise a short circuit will occur. Remove the tension from them, which has doubled.

To connect two batteries in parallel, take two diodes that can withstand the load current for an unlimited period. Connect the negative poles of the batteries together. Connect the positive pole of one of the batteries to the anode of the first diode, the other - to the anode of the second diode. Connect the cathodes of the diodes together. Connect the load with the negative pole to the connection point of the batteries' minuses, and the positive pole to the connection point of the cathodes of the diodes. This design will deliver the same current twice as long as a single battery. But you cannot load it with twice the current, since only one of the diodes is always open.

It is not recommended to connect batteries in parallel without diodes, since they will discharge through each other. Do this only if you are absolutely sure that they are equally charged and worn out. But with such a design you can extract twice as much current.

Before charging batteries, disassemble the structure. Charge them separately. This will significantly slow down battery wear. If the batteries are connected in parallel using diodes, it will be completely impossible to charge them without disassembling the structure.

Troubles in the cooling system are the most dangerous. Without monitoring the fluid temperature, you can leave the engine without cooling. The result is a major overhaul, since the engine will simply jam. Therefore, you need to detect the malfunction in time and try to eliminate it.

The cooling system on both the VAZ 2107 and the VAZ 2109 has the same design. The only significant difference is the type, since the nines use a sealed system. The expansion tank has a plug with two valves. The inlet is triggered when the pressure drops to 0.13 atmospheres, and the exhaust is triggered when it reaches 1.2-1.3 atmospheres. On early VAZ models, the coolant is not under such high pressure. Due to the increase in pressure in the cooling system, antifreeze (or antifreeze) has a higher boiling point.

Troubleshooting

The most common breakdown in all cars is the thermostat. A sign of thermostat failure is boiling of the coolant even when driving at high speed, when there seems to be good airflow to the radiator. The reason lies in the fact that a thermostat is necessary to switch the liquid circulation between large and small cooling circles. When VAZ thermostats fail, they leave a small circle on. And this is the entire system, except for the main radiator. Hence the excessive heating.

The second most popular failure is the failure of the pump (liquid pump). There is practically nothing to break in it, but often the oil seal through which the coolant leaks out is destroyed. Sometimes the bearing wears out and it begins to make a terrible whistling and grinding noise. These are the main malfunctions of the pump; they can be determined by hearing and sight. True, sometimes the bearing is destroyed so that it does not make sounds, but axial play appears.

The electric fan is the third most popular component in which a breakdown may occur. Sometimes it stops working due to the failure of the temperature sensor responsible for turning it on. But often the cause of the malfunction is electrical wiring. On nines, for example, a simple fan circuit is used. Fuse, sensor and fan itself. The sensor is connected to ground and to the fan. So the wire that goes to the body is quite long and runs throughout the entire engine compartment. The slightest break and the fan fails.

How can you understand why your valves are knocking?

Check the oil pressure, it should be fine, and also make sure that its condition and viscosity properties are normal.

Valves can also knock when “cold”; in this case, the reason may be critical wear of the pusher. When the tappets leak or become dirty, this can affect the flow of oil to the valves, resulting in a characteristic metallic knocking sound from a lack of lubrication in the valves.

If after checking the oil pressure is in order, you should check the valve clearances; it is possible that valve adjustment will be required.

Quick Repair Methods

If the thermostat has died for a long time on a long journey, then first try knocking on its body. Sometimes, after exposure, the valve opens, but expect it to jam again soon. The best option is to drain the fluid and try to break through the thermostat to turn on the big circle. And if suddenly there is a new one or a working one in the glove compartment, then install it.

It’s more difficult with a pump on the road; it will be easier to add water as needed. But this is only if the leak is not very large. Having reached the place where repairs can be carried out, it needs to be replaced. On sevens this is done quite quickly, you just need to drain the liquid, loosen the fan belt and remove the old pump. And on nines you will have to remove the casing that covers the timing block, loosen the belt, and only then use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the three bolts securing the pump.

But with a fan everything is simpler. If there is a breakdown in the sensor, then the easiest option is to short-circuit its contacts. In this case, the fan will work constantly, so after stopping the engine, be sure to turn it off, as the battery will run out. If the problem is in the wiring, then the best way to get out of this situation is to connect a fan to the battery. But if the electric motor winding burns out, then only a complete replacement will help.

• Typical failures in the cooling system in 2017

The engine cooling system is one of the important parts of the car. It not only cools the engine, but also heats the car interior in winter. And to carry out maintenance and repair, you simply need to know the composition of the system and the general principle of its operation.

The first copies of VAZ 2110 cars were practically a copy of the nines. The only difference is in the body, but the engine and gearbox are similar. But carburetors were replaced by an injection system, and a lot has changed in the car, including the cooling system. Constant modernization makes itself felt, the car becomes more reliable, but more difficult to maintain. Of course, increasing engine power entails a lot of modifications. Changes occur in the braking system, lubrication and cooling systems. But the operating principle remains virtually unchanged.

What to do if the cooling fan is constantly running

When the engine cooling fan runs constantly, you should look for the problem by doing a few simple diagnostic steps. The check must be performed sequentially, based on the most probable causes.

• Check for errors in the ECU memory . For example, error code p2185 indicates that there is no “minus” on the DTOZH, and a number of others (from p0115 to p0119) indicate other malfunctions of its electrical circuit.
• Check the integrity of the wires . Depending on the design of the motor, individual wires associated with the fan drive may be damaged (usually the insulation is frayed), causing a short circuit. Therefore, you just need to find the place where the wire was damaged. This can be done either visually or using a multimeter. As an option, insert two needles into the contacts of the chip and close them together. If the wires are intact, the ECU will display an engine overheating error.
• Check the DTOZH . When everything is in order with the wiring and power supply of the sensor, then it is worth checking the coolant temperature sensor. Along with checking the sensor itself, you also need to check the contacts on its chip and the quality of fixation of the chip (whether the ear/clamp is broken). If necessary, clean the contacts on the chip from oxides.
• Checking the relay and fuse . Check whether power is coming from the relay to the fan using a multimeter (the contact number can be found in the diagram). There are times when it “sticks”, then you need to change it. If there is no power, you need to check the fuse.
• Cleaning radiators and cooling systems . If the main radiator or air conditioner radiator is covered with debris, they need to be cleaned. A blockage in the engine radiator can also form inside, then it is necessary to clean the entire cooling system with special means. Or dismantle the radiator and wash it separately.
• Check the operation of the cooling system . The fan can operate continuously when the efficiency of the cooling system and its individual elements is low. Therefore, it is advisable to check the cooling system, and if any breakdowns are detected, repair or replace its parts.
• Checking the freon level and the operation of the refrigerant pressure sensor . To carry out these procedures and eliminate the cause, it is better to visit the service.
• Checking the ECU is a last resort when all other components have already been checked. In general, the control unit must be dismantled and its housing disassembled. Next, check the condition of the internal board and its elements, and if necessary, clean it with alcohol to remove antifreeze and debris.

Composition of the VAZ 2110 cooling system

It is very difficult to single out the most important element, since all components play the main role in the cooling system. Let's start with the first thing that catches your eye. This is an expansion tank with a plug in which there are two valves (inlet and outlet). While the engine is running, the coolant heats up and expands. The tank is necessary to release excess fluid from the system.

The radiator, fan and temperature sensor are parts located at the front of the car. A radiator is necessary for effective cooling of the liquid in the system. The fan is triggered by a sensor and blows a strong air stream onto the radiator. Due to the blowing, significant heat is removed from the radiator. A sensor is a simple switch whose contacts close at a certain temperature.

A pump installed in the engine block, driven by the timing belt, is necessary to ensure the circulation of coolant in the system. And the thermostat simply switches the cooling circuits. There is also a radiator in the heating system; it is installed in the stove (snail). One pipe from the block (hot liquid) goes to it through a faucet installed on the body. And one pipe comes out of the stove and goes to the thermostat.

Pipes and clamps are secondary parts, but they affect the operation of the entire system, since it is through them that the coolant moves. The slightest crack in the pipe can cause a rapid decrease in the coolant level and an increase in its temperature. There are one or two temperature sensors in the engine block; they are necessary for the operation of the temperature gauge and the ECU.

The cooling fan turns on on a cold engine: the main reasons and solution to the problem

As you know, various malfunctions of the engine cooling system do not allow the engine to reach the optimal temperature regime. The engine may overheat, which can lead to rapid breakdown, or remain cold, that is, not reach operating temperature.

Modern cars use a combined internal combustion engine cooling system: liquid and air cooling. By liquid we mean the circulation of antifreeze or antifreeze through special channels in the cylinder block and cylinder head of the engine.

The coolant circulates thanks to a pump. For additional cooling, the coolant can also circulate in a small circle (inside the engine) and in a large circle, that is, through the radiator.

Air cooling is implemented using a fan, which removes excess heat by supplying an air flow into the engine compartment to blow over the engine. The specified fan is activated when the heating of the unit is sufficiently high. However, quite often drivers are faced with the question of why the cooling fan turns on on a cold engine, the engine fan turns on in winter or spins constantly. In this article we will talk about the reasons why the cooling fan operates on a cold engine, the engine cooling fan does not turn off, or the specified fan does not work correctly.

The fan runs on a cold motor: causes, diagnosis, repair

Let's start with the fact that this problem can clearly indicate both a malfunction of the liquid cooling system and a malfunction of the fan itself. In any case, we are talking about a breakdown that cannot be ignored, since the risk of overheating of the internal combustion engine significantly increases.

For a better understanding, it is necessary to superficially consider the principle of operation of the fan on most modern cars. The airflow is activated by a special sensor located at the bottom of the radiator. Also, many cars use a separate engine cooling fan control unit. There are also models in which the ECU itself is responsible for turning on the fan, but this design is rarely used.

So, after heating the coolant to an average temperature of about 100 degrees Celsius, the sensor or control unit closes the electrical circuit. After this, the fan turns on, improving engine cooling. When the coolant temperature drops to the required value, the circuit opens and the blowing stops. As you can see, the fan should not work on a cold engine. So, to determine why the fan turns on early, for injection cars with an OBD II diagnostic connector, it is recommended to start with computer diagnostics of the car. The fact is that the ability to read error codes from the ECU allows you to more accurately determine the cause of the malfunction.

We also note that in cases where the control unit detects errors in the cooling system, the fan can spin immediately after turning on the ignition, even on a cold internal combustion engine. This feature is found only on some models and is, in fact, protection against overheating of the power unit, since a constantly running fan reduces the temperature.

After repair, in this case you will also need to reset the errors. To erase an error from the ECU, on some models it is enough to remove the terminal from the battery for a couple of minutes, while on others the reset is carried out using diagnostic equipment.

Common cooling fan problems

Now let's look at common problems that are associated with the cooling system and the fan itself.

First of all, in many cases the contacts of the air system sensor short-circuit. In this case, the air blower is activated immediately after the ignition is turned on. During the diagnostic process, the resistance at the outputs is measured on a cold sensor using a multimeter. Deviations from the norm will indicate the need to replace the element.

There is not enough coolant in the liquid system. In this case, the fan is triggered due to the fact that a small amount of antifreeze or antifreeze heats up very quickly. In other words, the fan is working properly and starts naturally. As a rule, leaks or decreased coolant levels in the expansion tank are the main cause. Please note that antifreeze is a mixture of concentrate and water. Water gradually evaporates from the system, causing the level to drop. For this reason, it is recommended to periodically check and add fluid according to special marks.

If there is little coolant in the system, heating occurs quickly. It is also noteworthy that the actual temperature of the liquid is very different from the temperature of the internal combustion engine. It often happens that a cold engine is started, the temperature arrow on the dashboard has not yet risen, but the fan is already working because the liquid is too hot. To solve the problem, it will be enough to fill in antifreeze and remove air plugs from the cooling system. The fan shorts to ground because the wire may not be screwed securely enough, the contact point has been damaged, etc. In this case, the fan can short-circuit to the battery and run non-stop. In such a situation, you need to check all contacts, wiring and other elements. Wires must be securely insulated and properly connected.

The fan sensor, which is integrated into the thermostat housing, has failed. Quite a lot of modern cars are designed with a thermostat, which is combined with a fan control sensor. This solution allows for flexible control of the engine cooling system. However, if there is a problem with the temperature sensor in the thermostat housing, the fan may start running without turning off. The fact is that the control unit begins to receive incorrect signals about how the thermostat works. As a result, the emergency mode is activated, the fan turns on and runs continuously.

In such a situation, you need to check the sensor with a multimeter. Normally, on a cold engine its resistance is infinite, in other cases the indicator should be 100 - 500 Ohms. Deviations in the readings from the norm will indicate that the sensor needs to be replaced with a new one or a known good one.

The outside air temperature sensor has failed. This problem occurs on some cars that are equipped with ambient temperature sensors. If the temperature is above the permissible limit, then these sensors will turn on the fan. This solution allows for more efficient cooling of the power unit, especially on cars that have a powerful forced-internal combustion engine and several radiators. On such units, the fan can be turned on in the warm season even on a cold internal combustion engine to protect against engine overheating.

After turning on the car air conditioner, the fan is constantly running. Note that on some models this fan operation is normal. If we talk about malfunctions, on most modern cars the cooling system is closely connected with the air conditioning system. It is for this reason that contamination of the air conditioner radiator can cause the engine cooling fan to constantly operate at maximum speed. To solve the problem, external cleaning of the air conditioner radiator and cooling system radiator may be required. The fact is that these radiators are located next to each other, dirt, dust and fluff accumulate between them. Removing such a “coat” allows you to normalize the operation of the air conditioning and engine cooling system, get rid of frequent fan starts and increased noise during its operation.

Problems with wiring and electrical contacts. Regardless of how the fan is controlled, contacts are a common cause of problems. Oxidation of contacts or damage to wiring, insufficient fixation at connections and other defects lead to short circuits, transmission of incorrect signals to control units, etc. As a result, the overheating protection mode is activated by constantly rotating the fan, etc. In order to avoid such a situation, experienced drivers recommend cleaning contacts before the onset of winter and summer for preventive purposes. Treatment with special lubricants and protective compounds is also actively practiced.

Bottom line

As you can see, the internal combustion engine itself and its systems require regular maintenance. As for the cooling system, it is also no exception and requires special attention.

Overheating of the engine, steam from the radiator pipes. We also recommend reading the article about what are the most common malfunctions characteristic of the car engine cooling system. From this article you will learn about the main reasons for incorrect operation and possible breakdowns of this system. If the driver notices that the cooling fan has started to work at maximum speed all the time or has stopped turning off in a timely manner, then the first thing you should do is check the antifreeze level, the functionality of the pump and thermostat.

It is also necessary to take into account that the reason for such fan operation may be a clogged cooling radiator or too high outside air temperature, shorted contacts, etc. We should not forget that the fan can constantly spin on a cold engine when the air conditioner is running.

How the cooling system works

When starting a cold engine, the coolant moves in a small circle. To put it simply, all components work except the radiator. The main task after starting the engine is to quickly reach operating temperature, which is about 90 degrees. When operating a system with a main radiator, this is quite difficult to do; warming up will take a longer period of time. Plus, the throttle valve heating is turned on in a small circle.

When the thermostat opens, it switches to a large circle in which the radiator participates. By turning it on, cooling is much more efficient. At high speed, when the oncoming air flow is very good, the temperature remains at the same level. And when driving through a traffic jam, when there is no this flow, the temperature of the coolant rises. The sensor installed in the radiator is responsible for triggering the fan. When a certain temperature is reached, the contacts close and the fan turns on, creating a powerful air flow.

Welcome, friends, to the DIY car repair website. It's no secret that engine overheating rarely ends in something good. Such a malfunction is fraught with a whole range of problems, which most often lead to the need for repairs and additional costs.

In such a situation, you can only rely on the cooling system, one of the main elements of which is the VAZ 2110 fan switch sensor (abbreviated as DVV).

Other reasons

Finally, we note that some reasons are very rare and can be considered specific.

These include loosening the exhaust manifold, although initially it may seem that this cannot affect the engine.

In fact, on many cars, heat from the manifold is used to warm up the air entering the cylinders, and for this purpose a special screen is used, to which the air duct fits.

So, if a breakdown occurs and the exhaust gases break out, then most of them will enter the cylinders again through the air duct, and due to a lack of air, the power will decrease.

Also, the reason may lie not in the engine, but in the transmission elements, especially for cars equipped with automatic transmission.

Malfunctions in the box lead to the creation of excessive load on the engine, which will be perceived as a loss of power.

Purpose of the fan switch sensor

As we have already mentioned, the DVV is part of the engine cooling system and duplicates the function of the thermostat. The main task of the sensor is to protect the vehicle’s power unit from overheating and promptly give a command to the ECU to turn on the fan. How does he work?

While the engine is running, the coolant temperature may rise. As soon as it reaches a certain level, the DVV gives a command to the electronic unit of the car.

The fan immediately starts and powerful air currents blow over the radiator. As a result, the coolant temperature decreases to the optimal level much faster.

Fan sensor location

Finding the sensor is not difficult - it is located directly in the radiator. A more precise location may vary (it all depends on the design features of the model of a particular year of manufacture).

For example, the DVV can be located in the right or left tank, in the lower or upper part of the radiator.

Finding the location of the sensor is not difficult. This is almost the only unit on the radiator from which wires extend. Another distinctive feature is the large nut head, which can be unscrewed with a “30” wrench.

The operating principle of the VAZ 2109 - 2114 generator.

In order to understand why on the VAZ 2109 - 2114 the generator gives little charge or does not charge at all, you need to understand how it works and know the principle of its operation.

The generator consists of five main parts shown in the figure below: armature - 5, stator - 6, relay-regulator paired with brushes - 10, diode bridge - 9, housing - 3.7.

The operating principle is as follows:

1. a positive wire goes from the battery to the diode bridge (9) and the diode bridge (9) is connected to ground through the housing (3.7) of the generator
2. voltage through the diode bridge (9) is supplied to the stator (6) of the generator and a magnetic field appears in the stator
3. when the car starts, the engine, using a belt drive, turns the generator rotor (5)
4. in the rotor (5), rotating in the magnetic field of the generator (6), a current appears
5. The current is removed from the rotor by brushes (10) and through a relay-controller (10) is supplied to the car battery.

Failure to comply with any of the points leads to a malfunction of the VAZ 2109 - 2114 generator.

Operating principle and triggering requirements

So, the main element of the DVV is the contact group inside the node. When the desired temperature is reached, the sensor contacts begin to expand and at a certain moment close. After this, the signal goes to the ECU, which, in turn, gives a command to the fan.

What should the switch-on temperature be? You must remember that DVVs are available with different temperature limits.

Most often, switching on occurs when 92 degrees Celsius is reached, and switching off occurs at 87. Sensors are also sold with other temperature ratings, but for the VAZ-2110 the 92/87 option is most suitable - so give preference to it.

Main causes of fan failure

If the fan does not turn on when critically high temperatures are reached, there may be several reasons:

• Malfunction of the fan switch sensor (in this case, it must be checked and, if it fails, replaced);
• Fan failure.

If this happens, replacement costs may be significantly higher. To check the fan, connect its contacts directly to the battery (observe the polarity). If the device starts normally, then there is a high probability of failure of the internal combustion engine.

Algorithm for finding the cause

We looked at typical faults. But it is important to find the main reason. If the car has standard equipment and there are no abnormal energy consumers, then you can begin to diagnose the generator directly. If there are additional consumers, it is better to turn them off. In this case, it must be disconnected physically, from the on-board network.

Next, all consumers are connected and the leakage is measured in the same way with a multimeter. If it is large, then the reason should be sought not in the generator or battery, but in one of the devices in the on-board network. If no leakage currents are detected at rest, then most likely the VAZ generator is not charging. We have already discussed the reasons.

Features of checking the fan switch sensor

Let's look at how to check the fan switch sensor. Everything is simple here:

• Force the sensor to trigger. If the fan starts to rotate, then the air blower will need to be replaced.
• Check the integrity of the fuse that powers the fan. Believe me, it is very disappointing to take your car to a service station, spend a lot of money on repairs and find out that the cause of the malfunction was a blown fuse.
• Inspect the wiring for possible damage.

There is another, more accurate method for checking the sensor. To complete the work you will need a multimeter, an electric or gas stove, an empty container, and a thermometer.

Proceed in the following sequence:

• Pour some water into the container and lower the sensor into it (immerse only the part with the thread).
• Set the switch on the multimeter to the resistance measurement position and connect the probes of the device to the DVV contacts.
• Start heating the water.
• As soon as the temperature reaches 92 degrees Celsius, the sensor should operate and the contacts should close.

In this case, the device will show a certain resistance parameter (if you set the switch to “continuity”, the device will make a squeak). If the sensor does not work, then the only way out is to replace it.

Features of replacing the fan switch sensor

As practice shows, replacing the fan switch sensor takes a few minutes, so there is no need to contact a service station. Proceed in the following sequence:

• Remove the negative voltage from the battery;
• drain the coolant from the radiator;
• discard the supply wire from the DVV;
• remove the fan switch sensor and replace it with a new one;
• return the supply wire and the battery negative to their place;
• check the operation of the node.

Carrying out diagnostics and replacing the internal combustion engine with your own hands is not a problem even for a beginner. The main thing is to find a few minutes of free time and do a few simple manipulations.

Domestic “tens” are equipped to ensure proper operation of the motor, based on the readings of various controllers. One of these is considered to be a temperature sensor in the VAZ 2110. You can learn more about this device, its operating principle, as well as diagnostics and replacement from this article.

What mistakes are made when repairing headlights?

If repairs are not carried out correctly, the problem may return. Therefore, it is worth remembering simple tips that will help you avoid mistakes:

1. Only pairs of lamps should be replaced . Even if there is a problem with one, you cannot install even the same one, since the resource of the light sources is different and as a result the operation of the system will be disrupted.
2. Clean contacts in case of voltage loss . This measure is temporary and the problem will return soon. It is much better to install an additional relay coming from the battery, through which the headlights are powered. Then there will never be any voltage drops.
3. You should not buy cheap lamps , especially LEDs and xenon. Their resource is much less than stated.

Getting rid of flickering lights is not difficult, since finding the problem does not take much time and does not require complex equipment. Most often, you can fix the problem on your own, the main thing is to correctly find out the cause of the flickering.

Characteristics of DTOZH

In order for the injectors, as well as other elements of the injector 16 or 8 valves, to operate in normal mode, the ECM reads readings from many devices. At first glance it may seem that this is not a particularly important device for the “tens” engine, but this is not so. How the devices are turned on, where the indicators are located and what functions they perform - first, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the answers to these questions.

Location, functions and operating principle

The coolant temperature sensor is an electronic device, essentially a semiconductor resistor with a negative coefficient. The controller resistance changes according to the environment. The device is designed to control the temperature during the circulation of consumables in the cooling system of the VAZ 2110 with further transmission of the received data to the dashboard. In addition, this device is also responsible for emergency fan start. In the VAZ 2110, the DTOZH is located in the head of the engine BC. Many car enthusiasts confuse the DTOZH, calling it the VAZ 2110 fan switch sensor, but this is incorrect.

The design of the coolant controller on the VAZ 2110 is quite simple. The greater the temperature effect exerted on the device, the lower its resistance will be. The principle of operation is to transmit a signal from the device to the ECM unit, which, based on this data, regulates the supply of the combustible mixture to the cylinders of the power unit. Until the engine warms up normally, a richer fuel mixture will enter the cylinders.

VAZ 2110 twitches - causes and their elimination

The VAZ 2110 jerks, as a rule, for various reasons.
If jerks in a VAZ car appear at the beginning of movement, these are so-called “dips”. That is, there is a feeling of the accelerator pedal failing. The driver presses the gas, and the response of the power unit to its actions comes late. Sometimes the engine may even stall. The jerk occurs precisely when the throttle valve begins to open, transferring the power unit from idle mode to operating mode under load. This occurs due to insufficient fuel in the system, which is caused by a drop in pressure. In this case, it is necessary to check the technical condition of the electric fuel pump, which is responsible for providing the required pressure in the vehicle’s injection system. There are other situations when the VAZ 2110 jerks, not when starting to move, but during acceleration. The cause of this malfunction may be the same fuel pump. In this situation, the vehicle's ECU receives a pulse signal from the throttle position sensor that the throttle valve begins to open, maximizing the angle. This requires an immediate increase in the volume of supplied fuel, but since the pressure in the fuel line is not enough, the power unit simply does not have enough gasoline, which is why the VAZ engine begins to twitch.

Also, sometimes it is observed that a VAZ 2110 car jerks after it has reached the required speed. Jerking while driving is usually caused by inadequate operation of the vehicle's ignition system. In this case, you will probably need to go to a service station for qualified diagnostics and subsequent repairs. You can try to do the following work yourself. Having opened the hood, carefully check the condition of the high-voltage wires, whether there is a voltage breakdown anywhere, as well as their fastenings and landing sites. Inspect all ignition module connectors. You can start the power unit and listen carefully to its operation. Usually, when testing to ground, a slight crackling sound will be heard. Another mandatory action is to replace the spark plugs, even if you make sure that they are in full working order. If excessive amounts of carbon or greasy soot are found on the spark plugs, the engine itself may need repair.

Methods of testing for functionality

There are several ways to diagnose the antifreeze temperature controller - visually and using a tester. Before arming yourself with a multimeter, you should carefully inspect the device’s case. If it shows signs of corrosion, deposits or damage, this indicates that the regulator needs to be replaced.

As for checking with a multimeter, the procedure is as follows:

1. First, the device should be removed; to do this, you just need to find its installation location, turn off the power and unscrew the device. Next, you will need a container to fill with refrigerant.
2. The next step is to heat the container after you put the DTOZH in it. But before that, it should be connected to the tester probes. Please note that when diagnosing, you must know exactly the heating temperature level of the liquid; this is what will allow you to determine the performance of the controller. The container heats up, and you will need to compare the results obtained with those indicated in the table. The table itself is shown below.
3. If the temperature level does not correspond to the nominal resistance value or vice versa, this indicates a malfunction of the device. Too high a signal level from the coolant temperature sensor also indicates its failure. There are cases when the problem, when the values ​​are higher than optimal, can be solved by cleaning the surface of the device, but such measures, as a rule, help if the deviation of the indicators is insignificant (author of a video about self-diagnosis of DTOZH - channel Device and car repair).

Possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them

The following symptoms may inform the car owner about the failure of the DVT:

1. The quality of the exhaust gases is too low, which is associated with a violation of the combustible mixture in the cylinders.
2. Fuel consumption has increased, and noticeably.
3. Problems have arisen in the operation of the power unit. The dynamics of the vehicle may decrease, and the engine power as a whole will also deteriorate.
4. Combinations of errors may appear on the dashboard, and the ECU may also send a signal to the dashboard about the need to check the performance of the motor.
5. The power unit has become more difficult to start.

When they detect the first signs of problems, many motorists immediately drive their car into a garage or service station to change the controller. In practice, symptoms of DTOZ malfunctions are often associated with damage to the electrical circuit and poor contact of the device with the vehicle’s on-board network. Therefore, if you encounter a similar problem, we first recommend checking the condition of the wiring.

Instructions for replacing the controller

Replacing the regulator looks like this:

1. First, the battery terminals are disconnected. All coolant should be drained from the radiator unit.
2. Next, you need to disconnect the wiring from the device; to do this, you just need to disconnect the plug. For greater ease of removal, you can remove the air filter.
3. After this, the controller is dismantled; to do this, it must be unscrewed. The unscrewing procedure is performed using a wrench. The failed device is removed from the outlet hose hole.
4. As for installation, in this case the procedure will look similar, only in reverse order. When installing a new device, do not forget to change the O-ring. When installing the controller, tighten it as much as possible and connect the wiring to it. Now all you have to do is refill the antifreeze and connect the battery, after which you can check the performance of the DTOZH.

Replacing diesel fuel assemblies

Removal of diesel fuel assemblies in VAZ 2110

The VAZ 2110 interior temperature sensor is used to monitor temperature parameters in the car. This controller is also a transmitter connected to the ECM. In cold weather, the VAZ air controller transmits information to the ECU, which promotes optimal air flow throughout the car interior. As in the previous case, the malfunction of the device may be due to problems in the operation of the electrical circuit, so it would be a good idea to check the wiring if the controller does not turn on.

To replace the interior, you need to perform the following steps:

1. The car must be set to the parking brake. Disconnect the battery.
2. Using a flat-tip screwdriver, you need to move the device body away from the installation site.
3. First, the upper part of the diesel fuel assembly is removed, this will allow for more convenient dismantling of the controller. When the device is removed from the latches, proceed carefully, since you will still need to disconnect it from the wiring (two connectors). First, the wiring is disconnected, then the combustion engine itself is removed.
4. As for installation, the procedure looks similar, but is done in reverse order. After installation, it is necessary to diagnose the functionality of the device.

VAZ 2110 | The car moves jerkily

In relation to a car, a jerk is a short-term spontaneous change in the engine crankshaft speed, regardless of the position of the gas pedal. In everyday use, as a rule, there are a series of jerks. The extreme case of a jerk is a failure, a noticeable delay in the engine's response to pressing the accelerator pedal.

Conventionally, three types of jerks can be distinguished:

- at the moment of starting movement;

– with steady motion, i.e. with the accelerator pedal in constant position.

To determine the causes of jerks when driving a car with an injection engine, special diagnostic equipment is required, so in this case we recommend contacting a car service center that specializes in repairing fuel injection systems. However, as practice shows, in most cases jerking is caused by insufficient fuel pressure in the engine fuel line (“rail”) or a malfunction of the throttle position sensor.

If you have some skills, you can identify the cause of jerking yourself.

Jerking when starting to move

At the moment the movement begins, the limiting case of a jerk often occurs - failure. The most unpleasant sensations are associated precisely with the delay in the engine’s response to pressing the gas pedal. Sometimes the engine even stalls. A jerk occurs at the moment the throttle valve begins to open, when, based on a signal from the throttle position sensor, the ECU determines the moment of transition from idle mode to load mode and must increase the amount of fuel supplied through the injectors. If the pressure in the fuel line is insufficient, even with increasing injection duration, there is not enough fuel for a smooth start.

To check the fuel pressure, connect a pressure gauge with a measuring limit of 10 kgf/cm2 to a special fitting on the fuel line using a piece of suitable hose. When the engine is running, the pressure in the fuel line must be at least 3 kgf/cm2.

The pressure test fitting has a design similar to a tire valve, with a spool. Therefore, you can use a foot tire pump hose connector to connect the pressure gauge hose.

The reasons for the decrease in pressure may be:

– faulty fuel pressure regulator. In addition, failure of the regulator may be caused by a loose fitting of the hose on the fitting of the vacuum chamber of the regulator;

– clogged fuel filter;

– faulty fuel pump.

For methods of checking and replacing the pressure regulator, fuel filter and fuel pump, see section. 4 “Engine”, in subsection. "Supply system".

Jerks during acceleration

The cause of jerking during acceleration may be, just as in the previous case (see “Jerking at the moment of starting movement”), insufficient fuel pressure in the fuel line. The ECU, having received a signal from the throttle position sensor about the intensive opening of the throttle at a large angle, strives to maximize the fuel supply, but due to the reduced fuel pressure it is not able to do this. For the reasons for this phenomenon and the method of checking, see “Jerk at the moment of movement starts.”

Jerks during steady motion

Such jerking is most often caused by a malfunction of the ignition system. Diagnostics and repair are necessary (see section 9 “Electrical equipment”). On the way, you can try to do it yourself:

– carefully inspect the engine compartment. Turn off the ignition and check the secure fastening and seating of all wires and connectors at the ignition module and high-voltage wires. Start the engine and listen to its operation - the crackling sound when the high voltage breaks down to ground is weak, but distinct. In complete darkness, the spark during breakdown is clearly visible;

– replace spark plugs regardless of their condition and mileage. Pay attention to the condition of the spark plugs - if they are abnormal, the engine or its systems may need to be repaired.

A specific cause of jerking during steady motion of a car with an injection engine may be damage to the throttle position sensor. Additional symptoms confirming the malfunction of this sensor are:

– uneven operation of the engine at idle;

– reduction in maximum engine power.

The sensor is not dismountable and therefore cannot be repaired. If a sensor malfunction is detected (see section 9 “Electrical equipment”, “Engine control system”), it is replaced as an assembly.
