Operating principle of the on-board computer

Cars such as the VAZ-2109 were equipped with devices that acted as routers. Let us remember that these were carburetor cars. But the VAZ-2114 and 2115 began to be equipped with injection power plants, which required the use of a completely different type of device.

Therefore, the main functions of the on-board computer on these cars are diagnostics, as well as control of the operation of almost all vehicle systems.

The principle of operation of the on-board computer on the VAZ-2115 is as follows:

Brief instructions for operating the on-board computer

There is no need to memorize all kinds of error codes. It’s best to simply find the designations of all the errors on the Internet, where, by the way, they are freely available, print them out on a piece of paper and carry them with you in the car all the time. And when you see a particular error code on the computer information board, it won’t take you much time to understand what exactly it means, you just need to look at the previously printed list.

By the way, it often happens that the on-board computer issues a danger signal for absolutely no reason. The reason for this may be the on-board computer processor or some sensor that is not working correctly. Remember, no one is immune from electronic errors. Nevertheless, in the vast majority of cases, the VAZ-2115 on-board computer works quite correctly.

We present to your attention the most common error codes with their interpretation:

If the numbers 4, 6 or 8 appear on the car’s on-board computer while driving, you should immediately stop, fix the problem and only then continue driving. But after this you will need to reboot the processor. The error can be reset by simply holding down the daily mileage key for a few seconds.

How much does a shield cost?

In 2022, you can find a tidy device from 1000 rubles. If you need to purchase a complete module with all the plastic and instruments, the purchase will cost approximately 8-10 thousand.

The standard dashboard of the Lada 2115 is informative and has a discreet design. The module is easy to read and intuitive even for novice drivers.

What to do if the on-board computer on the VAZ-2115 stops working

Of course, you can try to fix the problem yourself. But it’s still much better if a real specialist does this. It is he who will be able to reliably determine the cause of the device malfunction.

But before going to the service center, the first thing to do is check fuse F3, which could simply have blown. It is installed in the power supply circuit of the VAZ-2115 processor. If, after replacing the fuse, the on-board computer still shows no signs of life, you can also check the connectors connected to it. We repeat that if you are not an electrician, and generally do not have much knowledge of electronics, this task should be entrusted to a professional.

Remember, any malfunction that the on-board computer shows can be eliminated, just like a breakdown of the on-board computer itself. But, as they say, it is better to prevent a problem than to solve it later. Therefore, each car should be kept in good condition, undergo technical inspection on time and replace spare parts that are out of order. Among other things, it is better not to allow spare parts to break at all, but to replace them as they wear out. Only in this case will driving the car be safe from a technical point of view, and during the trip there will be no emergency situations associated with improper operation of the car.

The serviceability of your car is a guarantee of the safety of both the driver and passengers.

Designation of icons on the dashboard of the VAZ 2115

The following describes the warning lights and panel indications, which are indicated and numbered in the photo above.

Sensor layout

The sensors under the hood of the VAZ 2115 are located as follows.

1. Phase sensor; 2. Coolant temperature sensor; 3. Knock sensor; 4. Oil pressure sensor; 5. Oxygen sensor; 6. Crankshaft position sensor; 7. Speed ​​sensor; 8. Idle speed sensor; 9. Mass air flow sensor; 10-11. Gasoline level sensor; 12. Antifreeze level sensor; 13. Throttle position sensor

Tidy 2115: description and purpose of buttons and knobs

If everything is simple with the levers on the steering rack, there is a headlight position switch and a turn signal switch on the left. Buttons are more difficult.

Lada 2115: the oil light on the center panel is on

If an icon in the shape of a watering can appears on the console, this indicates that there are problems in the engine lubrication system. This is caused by a drop in the oil level in the crankcase or a pump malfunction. If the engine is old, the problem may be caused by clogged oil lines.

What does the exclamation mark on the Lada 2115 tidy mean?

On the "tag" the symbol is used in only one form - a red indicator in a circle. The icon indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's brake system. If this symbol lights up while driving, stop and find the cause of the breakdown. Usually it is enough to add fluid to the expansion tank or replace worn pads.

The battery light on the dash is on 2115

A red battery icon indicates that the battery is not charging properly. A complete diagnosis of on-board systems associated with the generator set and its wiring is required.

Description of faults

Tidy 2115 stopped working

Occurs after power surges or moisture getting under the panel (condensation). If the device has completely failed, but other elements of the car are working, check the fuse and wiring of the element.

When only part of the panel does not show or the board lighting has failed, perform diagnostics of the illuminators and their contact groups.

Tidy does not light up

If the backlight does not function, as well as the dimensions on the left side of the car, check the corresponding fuse. When the insert is working properly, you will need to diagnose the mounting block for voltage.

Panel 2115 blinks

It happens when the device does not work correctly. The backlight blinks and the elements constantly jump. There are problems with contacts here. The pads may become loose or oxidized.

The solution to the problem is to clean the contacts from oxidation and tighten/replace the pads.

The temperature sensor on the device 2115 does not work

The solution lies in diagnosing the system and correcting breakdowns.

The arrows on the dashboard 2115 do not work

The fault lies with the blown fuse F3. Before replacing it, be sure to diagnose the wiring and eliminate problems and possible short circuits.

The most common breakdown

Before digging into the inside of the car, check how securely the ground wire leading to the front panel is secured. A restless passenger in front often simply pulls him out of his place with his feet. To prevent the situation from repeating itself, after fastening it is worth insulating the wire from reach.

Its signs are very characteristic:

• All indicators do not work: speedometer, tachometer, odometer, fuel level recorder, coolant temperature sensor;
• The rest of the equipment - optics, radio, even the panel backlight - turn on normally and do not act up;
• The ignition works properly, the car does not refuse to start;
• Fuse F3 is almost 100% blown. It is located in the mounting block and will have to be changed. But first you need to find out why it was covered, otherwise the new one installed will suffer the same fate. In most cases, a short circuit is to blame for burnout. On well-used VAZ-2114, the fuse often blows after each wash. Instead of carrying a spare one, you need to figure out where moisture is getting into it.

If the fuse is intact, this is not a reason to immediately leave it alone. It would be a good idea to remove it and check the contacts: if the fuse is live, but the terminals are oxidized, the circuit will be interrupted, and the device will stop showing any signs of life.

The next weak link: It is the ignition relay. It is located to the left of the steering column, fixed on a pin, so to speak, upside down. You need to remove it and try to make direct contact with the wires. If there are obvious signs of revival on the instrument panel, it immediately becomes clear that the time has come to change the relay.

Purpose of VAZ 2114 devices and interpretation of the symbols on them

Located on the left side of the dashboard, directly in front of the driver's seat, the VAZ 2114 instrument cluster plays an important role in driving. It contains pointer instruments, VAZ 2114 indicators with electronic digital windows and signal lights for various purposes.

The numbers on the scale indicate:

The graphic symbol of a gas station at the top of the device indicates a fully filled tank. At the bottom right, an indicator in the form of a gas pump lights up in orange, indicating that the remainder in the tank is less than six liters.

Designation of light bulbs and indicators on the instrument panel of the VAZ 2114

The dashboard, by definition, is designed to contain instruments, indicators and switches that could inform the driver about the current state of various vehicle systems, signal an emergency during the operation of the car or the failure of any units, as well as using buttons and switches control individual equipment or mechanisms.

The designation of icons on the instrument panel of the VAZ 2114 is made in accordance with all requirements and standards that call for the unification of symbols so that they are absolutely clear to every driver. The symbols on the instrument panel of a VAZ 2114 with the latest injection engine are located mainly in the lower part of the instrument cluster:

Indicators VAZ 2114

1 - the icon of the light indicating that the oil level in the engine crankcase has dropped below the minimum level, lights up in red;

2 - this light indicates an insufficient level of washer fluid; it lights up orange when the remainder in the tank is less than one liter;

3 - this icon, lighting up in orange, indicates a decrease in the coolant level in the expansion tank with a cold engine below the permissible level;

4 — warning light icon for unlocked doors, lights up red;

5 — fault indicator for “brake lights” or dimensions;

6 - this is a warning light for a malfunction in the brake system, indicating that the brake pads are worn out;

7 - light bulb icon that indicates unfastened seat belts.

On earlier versions of the car, the designation of the light bulbs on the dashboard of the VAZ 2114 in the lower part is slightly different, when viewed from left to right:

Designation of icons on the instrument panel of the VAZ 2114

In addition, car enthusiasts should know what the lights on the VAZ 2114 instrument panel mean, indicating the performance of the lighting equipment or the condition of the engine:

Indicator paws

Also, the instrument panel on the VAZ 2114 has a block of light indicators, which includes the following icons:

Let's look at the designation of the icons on the instrument panel in more detail:

1. An indicator that displays information about the current engine oil level. When the amount of lubricating fluid is critically low, the light turns orange. Oil must be added immediately after this indicator becomes active;
2. This indicator indicates a low amount of working fluid in the windshield washer reservoir. The tank is designed for 5 liters of liquid, the indicator turns on when its quantity drops below 1 liter;
3. Fluid quantity sensor in the engine cooling system. One of the most important indicators that needs to be closely monitored;
4. Indicates the presence of unlocked doors. Lights up red;
5. An indicator that lights up if the dimensions or brake lights are out of order. The active indicator color is red;
6. A light that lights up in case of critical wear of the brake pads (1.5 mm). Lights up from the moment you first press the brakes until the car is turned off;
7. An indicator indicating that the driver is not wearing seat belts.

An exclamation mark on the instrument panel of a VAZ 2114 can light up in two cases: when the car’s starter is turned on, and when the brake fluid level is low. As a rule, the reason is in the second option.

To eliminate the problem, completely fill the tank and check the contacts of the TZ level sensor, which are located on the container lid, for oxidation.

If the engine icon on the panel is on, it means something is wrong with the power unit of the fourteenth. There are many reasons why the Check Engine light comes on; it often stays on even when there are no visible faults. It is best to go to a service station for diagnostics, this way you will be protected from possible problems.

Identification of buttons

It is also important to know the designation of the buttons on the VAZ 2114 panel. On the instrument cluster on the right side there is a button (11), with which the time and temperature on the digital indicator are switched, and when pressed for 5 seconds or more, the current mileage is reset, if pressed this button on a stationary car.

In the central part of the dashboard are located in a row:

Double headlight switch. Button 1 turns on the dimensions, button 2 turns on the low beam;

Buttons on VAZ 2114

Key switch block. The first 1 turns on the front fog lights, the second 2 turns on the rear fog lights and the third 3 turns on the heated rear window.

Instrument panel VAZ 2114, 2115

It is not surprising that absolutely every modern car is equipped with a dashboard, because it is thanks to it that the driver can monitor the main features of the car. And the instrument panel of the VAZ 2114, 2115 is no exception. Simply put, such a panel plays the role of a link between a person and a vehicle.

As it developed, the dashboard was equipped with additional sensors and indicators that make driving a car more convenient and safe. If you want to know what elements are on the dashboard of the VAZ 2114, 2115, then be sure to read this article.

Removal and modification guide

Instrument panel VAZ 2114: description of symbols

If indicators appear while driving, this does not always indicate a malfunction of the components. Perhaps the problem is simply a malfunction of the sensor responsible for the operation of the unit. Or the problem may be a broken wiring or bad connector contacts. Therefore, there is no need to panic right away. The video below shows the result of tuning the “tens” control panel. The author of the video, proVAZ-2110, planned to make the tuning in such a way that the color of the speedometer and other sensors would be white, but he did not take into account that the plastic on the dashboard was originally yellow. Accordingly, the author of the video was not pleased with the end result.

Often car enthusiasts decide to do this to improve the appearance of the car's interior. To do this, you can simply remove the panel trim and simply remove the regular bulbs. By installing LEDs instead. Such a control panel will enhance the brightness of the indicators. If necessary, you can install a more modern europanel, which will transform the interior of the “tens”. If you just want to tune the control panel, you can install a new trim on it.

To do this you will need:

1. First, turn off the power to the vehicle's on-board network. To do this, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
2. Next, it is dismantled; for this, all the necessary bolts are unscrewed.
3. The next step is to remove the control panel fastenings to the trim. Having done this, you can remove the control panel itself from the socket. After these steps, you can dismantle the glass mask.
4. Then all the pads that lead to the panel are turned off.
5. Now install a new trim on 2110. If necessary, install LEDs instead of conventional light bulbs. Further assembly is carried out in reverse order.

You should always be careful when working with electricity. If you damage even one wire when removing or installing the dashboard, this can lead to dire consequences, including non-functioning devices on the dashboard. For example, owners of “ten” cars are often faced with the problem of the speedometer not working, which is usually associated with the wiring. Therefore, always be careful when working with the dashboard. In addition, after disassembling the instrument panel, or rather removing the arrows, there is a possibility of displaying distorted readings.

Designations of light bulbs, indicators, icons and buttons on the instrument panel of VAZ 2114, 2115

First, let's look at the descriptions and meaning of the panel icons and buttons, regardless of whether the car is equipped with an injector or a carburetor.

1 — A control sensor that measures the temperature of the coolant in the engine cooling system. During normal operation of the power unit, the antifreeze temperature should not exceed 90 degrees. But minimal deviations are sometimes acceptable. If you notice that the engine begins to overheat frequently, be sure to contact a car service center for help. Sometimes the sensor itself may give incorrect results.

2 — A device such as a tachometer processes information that comes from the crankshaft and displays it on the panel. The tachometer readings indicate the number of engine revolutions.

3,4 — Turn indicators. If the indicators flash simultaneously, but slowly, this may indicate a possible problem with the bulbs themselves or in the electrical wiring network.

Instrument panel lighting for VAZ 2114, 2115. Diagnostics, repair.

The instrument panel is a rather complex unit, and accordingly it can fail, like any other part of the car. The panel often does not work or stops lighting.

What are the main problems that can be observed with a faulty dashboard of the VAZ 2114, 2115:

1. The main illumination of the PP has disappeared, but the remaining sensors continue to work or vice versa. Most often, this problem occurs when the panel fuses fail. They are marked F16. In addition to illuminating the panel, such a fuse is also responsible for the turn signals, as well as the hazard warning lights, and the reversing lights. If the hazard lights and turn signals work normally, then most likely the problem is in the electrical circuit, or a short circuit may have occurred.

The video below shows how to fix the dashboard backlight:

2. The speedometer and tachometer are not working properly. In this case, it is first recommended to check the crankshaft position sensors, as well as speed sensors. If these sensors work correctly, then the problem may be poor electrical contact or damage to the wiring itself.

3. If some sensors do not work, but other elements work correctly, then the light bulbs may have failed. In this case, you just need to replace them with new ones.

4. If the arrow indicating the fuel level in the tank or the coolant level has dropped to the very bottom, or vice versa is always in the upper position, then most likely the problem is in the sensors or electrical circuit. There is no need to rush to replace sensors. First check the wiring to see if it is working properly and if there is any short circuit. In this case, it is best to turn to professionals.

5. It often happens that in general the dashboard works normally, but from time to time there are interruptions in the operation of some sensors. Often the cause is in the electrical circuit. The reason may also be due to incorrect operation of the processor.

Why do light bulbs fail?

How to remove the instrument panel on a VAZ 2114
The main reason for the relatively quick burnout is rather difficult operating conditions. Reduce resource:

• voltage fluctuations;
• vibration;
• overheating (in a closed space of the instrument panel this is normal).

In addition, filaments have a short service life of only 1500 hours.

In addition, lamps may stop working due to:

• wiring damage;
• destruction of board tracks;
• contact oxidation;
• blown fuses due to short circuit, etc.

For this reason, before replacing a light bulb in a Lada 2114, it is advisable to find out why it stopped working. Until the root cause is identified, the situation cannot be corrected.
