It's decided! How to Train Grant Key?

Features of standard central locking

AvtoVAZ even installs a central locking system with a remote control from the factory even on the most budget versions of Kalina. However, such a system is clearly not enough to effectively protect a car from theft. The Lada Kalina central locking system is also controlled from the interior. On the driver's door next to the power window control unit there is a central locking button. The ignition key simultaneously functions as a remote control. On its plastic part there are three buttons, the purpose of which is as follows:

Unlocking. One press – the actuator should click and the driver’s door will open, two presses – the rest.
Closing. To close all doors at the same time, just press the button once.
Opening the trunk. Not available on all trim levels, as a trunk lock actuator is required. You can also install the electric drive yourself.

Kalina also provides another important function - rear door locking, as it is also called - child protection. To activate it, you need to use the key to turn the red chip to the right near the lock from the outside. After this, opening the rear doors from the passenger compartment is not possible, so that children cannot accidentally fall out while driving.

The central locking system does not have anti-theft functions; there are no shock sensors. All that the central lock can do is signal an unauthorized opening.

Connecting the central locking system in the “Norma” configuration

In inexpensive trim levels, there is no button to close the doors from the interior at all. In this case, the connection is made according to the following scheme:

Connecting the central locking system in the “Norma” configuration

Unlike the connection diagrams for the central locking system in the Kalina “Lux” configuration, there are no resistors and the “+” voltage is not used. But in this case, when you press the close button, all doors will be locked, and when you press the unlock button, only the driver's door will open. The options considered are among the simplest; more complex schemes require special skills, so it is better to entrust their implementation to professionals at a service station.

Immobilizer training on viburnum

Welcome! Immobilizer - This is a device thanks to which the car breaks the chain in the system (which chain the car chooses to break), thanks to this the car will either not start, or it will start but after a very short time it will stall, but over time such moments happen that the immobilizer you have to train, this happens for various reasons, for example, you need to change the password for the immobilizer (This is very useful when strangers find out the password for the immobilizer), or if you lose the working keys (the working key is the one that starts the car), the immobilizer also has to be retrained, otherwise the car just won't work.

Note! To retrain the immobilizer, you just need to stock up on: A working key, as well as a training key (It is included with the purchase of the car)!

Summary:

Where is the immobilizer located? It is located behind the center console (this console is indicated by a red arrow), this was done for security purposes so that criminals could not quickly get to it, but still, even if you turn off the immobilizer or disconnect the wire block from it, the car still won’t start, because besides this, there are also brains (Controller) with which you will also need to tinker, for clarity so that you understand its location (We indicate the location only so that you can change it in case you lose the training keys, or if you want to disable immobilizer) just below we have placed a photo, on it the approximate location of this device is circled, and in a small picture it is indicated with a blue arrow and in this picture the center console is also removed, as you have already noticed.

Resynchronization of remote control codes

In cases where the remote control buttons are pressed outside the range of the radio channel, the “floating” code counter in the remote control goes out of synchronization with the counter in the system control unit. If the number of button presses outside the signal reception area of the system exceeds 1000, the system stops responding to remote control commands. In this case, the remote control training procedure should be repeated.

Updated August 01, 2013

Due to the increasing number of cases of lost training (master) keys for car owners of Kalina, Priora, Grant, Niva-Chevrolet, we are introducing a new type of service: registration of working keys in these cars, without a master key!

Usually in such cases, it is necessary to change a set of blocks: ECU (electronic engine control unit), APS unit, glass control unit, ignition switch complete with door cylinders and new keys, etc.

Now in our company you can register a working key with buttons without a training key, and for an additional fee you can receive a new training (red) key for your car. For this procedure, you need to come by car and leave it while the work is being carried out. The work includes dismantling the necessary units (ECU, APS, etc.) from the car, programmatically changing data, installing units on the car and registering keys. We emphasize that a key registered in this way will cost more than registering a remote control yourself if you have a training key, but naturally cheaper than buying and replacing a set of blocks with new ones.

Update January 05, 2014

Attention! It is now possible to make a duplicate chip for autostart using a working key with remote control buttons! A master or training key is not required. The chip obtained in this way can be used both for installation in the immobilizer bypass unit to implement autostart, and for everyday use, starting the engine of Lada Kalina, Priora, Niva-Chevrolet cars. Such a duplicate is more expensive than a regular chip, which can be registered using a master key, but this is a real solution in cases where the master (training) key is lost. To create a duplicate, you need a car, a working key with remote control buttons (and it doesn’t even matter if it is partially faulty, for example, the buttons don’t work, etc., the main thing is that the ignition key starts the engine). The entire copying procedure takes 10-15 minutes. Contact us by phone in contacts.

AvtoVAZ key training procedure (Video)

And once again about learning ignition keys on cars produced by AVTOVAZ. Not everyone apparently understands the technology for reading the key code and, accordingly, the learning procedure causes difficulties.

The key code is read remotely! And in fact, there is no need to even insert the key into the ignition switch, because you can turn on the ignition with a simple jumper (connect the pink wire on the ignition switch block and the blue-black one) and the ignition is on.

The main thing is the presence of both a training chip (in a key with a red plug) and then a working chip or control panel in the reader area (communication coil). Correct operation is ensured when the chips are located at a distance of up to 3 cm from the coil and approximately in the center.

The coil is located under a plastic cover that covers the lock cylinder. The easiest way to carry out the procedure is to still have a sting from your key, even without a chip. The main purpose of the sting is to turn the ignition on and off during the procedure.

At the end of the article there is a video on how to train or retrain keys in a way that may be necessary if you need to train an additional chip or if an anti-theft lock with a different key is installed...

All steps in the learning process are announced by the beepper of the body electronics unit.

Insert the learning key or bring the learning chip in, turn on the ignition, wait 2-3 seconds, turn off the ignition.

The immobilizer light blinked - the procedure opened. The lamp will blink during the entire procedure. And if it suddenly goes out, it means something went wrong or you made a mistake somewhere. Start over...

Removed the training key or chip to the side.

We inserted a working key or brought a working chip, turned on the ignition - we wait...

Three beeps, pause, two beeps, turn off the ignition.

Removed the working key (if you need to train another working chip or key, repeat the previous step with the second chip or key...

They inserted the learning key again or brought up the learning chip (this is the last step - closing the procedure) and turned on the ignition...

Three beeps, a pause, two beeps, the ignition is turned off, but we do not remove the training chip from the communication coil. We watch the lamp. After the warning lamp doubles its flashing frequency (on previous generation cars) or the buzzer sounds (Priora 2, Kalina 2, Granta Lux), turn on the ignition again and wait 3 seconds. That's it - training is complete!

to the article: Procedure for learning AvtoVAZ keys (Video)

In the LADA KALINA operating manual, it says twice in bold Russian on white: “The remote control training procedure must be carried out at pre-sale preparation points in the presence of the car owner. If the owner of the vehicle refuses to carry out this procedure, an entry must be made in the service book with the signatures of the dealer and the owner,” however, in the showroom when purchasing the vehicle, they did not offer me anything like that, and quoting this phrase had no effect - in response to me they mumbled something inarticulate, indicating the high professional training of the employees. Armed with the article “Procedure for learning AvtoVAZ keys” printed from your website and the “Technical passport “Transponder for APS-6″”, I tried to retrain the transponder according to the instructions contained in them, but got stuck at the very beginning. “Turn off the ignition and remove the learning transponder from the ignition switch. The immobilizer lamp on the instrument panel is flashing - it’s not flashing, it is, however, that’s all. Hence the question. Either the above materials do not apply to my 2015 Kalina 219420, or I misunderstood something. Could you please clarify the situation?

Good afternoon! What should you do if the training key is lost and the immobilizer is activated? I purchased a new training key, but how can I unsubscribe the old key? The new key, of course, is not recognized by the immobilizer and it is impossible to enter the binding procedure

Replacing a dead battery

Let's say the LED located on the key fob body flashes quickly when you press any key. There will be no reactions from the central locker in this case. All of the above suggests that it is time to replace the battery. Details are discussed below.

If the LED flashes when you press the key, you can still start the car with that key. The immobilizer can easily read the code written into the key fob chip, and synchronization will not be lost either. But it is recommended to hurry up when replacing the battery.

So, to disassemble the key fob body, you will need a Phillips screwdriver. Having unscrewed one self-tapping screw, use a knife to separate the halves that make up the housing structure. The result looks like this:

Once the circuit board is removed, look at which battery is being used. The first characters of the designation are the letters “CR”. Then comes a set of numbers.

When making a replacement, try not to leave the contacts free for more than 6 seconds. Otherwise, there is a high probability of loss of synchronization.

It can be summarized that the replacement operation is performed in three steps:

We disassemble the case, determine the type of battery;
We purchase the same battery;
We are making a replacement.

Care must be maintained at every step.
