What do the icons on the instrument panel of a VAZ 2108 -2115 mean?

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.

What does the Check Engine Light mean?

Sometimes it can be a very minor problem - for example, a loose gas cap or a faulty catalyst. However, you should not ignore the indicator signals under any circumstances, as this can result in serious problems.

The Check indicator may light up for various reasons.

Sometimes the cause of the indicator light may be poor fuel quality. So don’t be surprised if, after refueling at an unfamiliar gas station, you see the Check Engine light flashing.

Typically the indicator is located on the car's dashboard under the engine speed indicator. It is indicated by a schematic engine or a rectangle with the inscription Check engine or simply Check. In some cases, instead of an inscription, a lightning symbol is depicted.

Is it possible to continue driving while the light is on?

The brake pads are worn out, it's time for the next maintenance, the speed is switched incorrectly, low-quality fuel is used, the on-board voltage has dropped - all this can cause the Check indicator to light up. First of all, you should check the motor. If the reason for the signal to turn on is due to engine malfunctions, it is dangerous to continue driving.

The problem is aggravated by the fact that it is impossible to independently determine the malfunction of a modern internal combustion engine by smell or color. You should contact professionals who will use a scanner to identify the malfunction, if, of course, there is one.

A burning Check light may indicate various breakdowns - it is better not to ignore it

Therefore, if after restarting the car the light does not go out, you can only drive it to the nearest car service center. There they will conduct a comprehensive diagnostic of the engine and its systems.

Operating a vehicle with the Check Engine icon illuminated leads to increased fuel consumption, unstable engine operation, and decreased traction characteristics of the vehicle. Moreover, in this case, the car owner may lose the guarantee for car repairs.

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.

1. Switch for outside parking lights.
2. Activation of low beam headlights.
3. Front fog lights.
4. Rear PTFs. If not installed, reserve.
5. Rear window heating button.

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.

Where is the instrument panel located?

This part is located above the steering wheel, in the upper left part of the “torpedo”, opposite the driver’s seat. Thanks to this arrangement, the person behind the wheel sees the readings of all instrument indicators (signs, icons, as well as pointer devices), and therefore objectively assesses the speed of the car and the operation of all its systems. Some of the icons on the instrument panel of the VAZ 2115 are hidden from the driver by the steering wheel, but during a turn the visibility improves and he sees them, in addition, the activation of each light is duplicated by a sound signal.

How to check for errors on the device

The manufacturer has provided the ability for the driver to independently read faults without the presence of additional equipment.

To perform a self-diagnosis, you will need to follow a procedure.

1. Sit in the driver's seat, insert the ignition key and press and hold the daily mileage reset button.
2. Next, turn the ignition key in the lock, but do not start the engine.
3. Release the reset button. Now the on-board computer self-diagnosis process will begin. This is accompanied by the inclusion of all lights and devices.
4. Quickly press the mileage reset button again - this will display the version of the software used on the screen under the speedometer.
5. If you press the button again, error codes will be displayed on the same screen.

Basics

VAZ-2115 - the dashboard (designations are given in this article) fully complies with all European quality standards, therefore it takes into account additional space for the on-board computer and radio.

Before you start processing the appearance of your car's panel, thoroughly understand its technical characteristics and components. The car will seem much more attractive if you take into account the color of the car itself, as well as the color of the electronics and additional inserts, as well as the color of the arrows and sensors.

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

1. Sensor stuck in one position.
2. Damage to wiring.
3. The motor of the device itself is damaged.
4. Problems with the electronic board or ECU.

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.

Installation and repair instructions

To replace the PP on a VAZ 2115 tuning, taking into account the pinout, follow these steps:

1. First, disconnect the cable that goes to the cigarette lighter.
2. Dismantle the control panel cover; to do this, find two self-tapping screws at the edges and unscrew them. Also unscrew the screws that secure the PP at the top and bottom.
3. Dismantle the cover; this will require some effort. The pad itself is held on by clamps, so the plate will need to be rocked a little.
4. Next, disconnect all the wires that are connected to the control panel - these are the connectors for the light alarm, clock, speedometer, fuel level sensor, etc.
5. Dismantle the control panel; to do this, you will need to unscrew four more bolts on which it is fixed. Be careful at this stage - do not damage the wiring.

Actually, at this point the procedure for dismantling the control panel can be considered complete. If you need to change light bulbs, simply remove the sockets and install new indicators. To remove the cartridges you will need to turn them counterclockwise, do this carefully so as not to damage them. Further assembly is carried out in reverse order.

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.

Resetting or zeroing the Check indicator

In most cases, as the table shows, Check lights up when a sensor fails or the operating conditions of the vehicle change. However, even after diagnosing and eliminating the malfunction, the light sometimes continues to light.

The fact is that the “trace” of the error remains in the computer’s memory. In this case, you should “reset” or “zero” the indicator readings. You can easily do this yourself by performing a number of simple operations:

1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Open the hood.
3. Disconnect the positive terminal from the battery.

Resetting or resetting the Check Engine Light

The sensor is reset and the Check light is no longer on. If this does not happen, contact the service center.

When the Check Engine light comes on on the dashboard, you almost always need to stop the car immediately. Using the recommendations given in this article in practice will help you avoid complex, expensive engine repairs. Good luck on the roads!

Yes, maybe the spark plugs are crap... I bought NGK at the end of summer, changed it, vibration then appeared, the speed sometimes fluctuated, I recently bought new ones, but this time from GM, they have the same NGK of the same marking, installed it, no problems at all. It just happened, it happens.

What is Check Engine?

Check Engine (translated as Check Engine) is an indicator located on the dashboard, well known to all owners of modern cars.

This light comes on when any problem occurs in the car's engine. In this case, car manufacturers recommend urgently contacting a service station (service station). At the service station, a special device is connected to the vehicle's diagnostic connector - a scanner, which is used to read the fault code (error code) registered by the vehicle's self-diagnosis system, indicating the cause of the malfunction.

The need for urgent treatment is due to the fact that further operation of a car with a malfunction can lead to serious engine damage and large financial costs for its owner. For example, misfire of the mixture in any of the engine cylinders, resulting from a faulty spark plug or ignition wire (type P03xx fault codes) can lead to rapid failure of the exhaust gas catalytic converter. For reference: the cost of a catalyst for a VAZ

If the meat grinder is on fire, it means there is some error in the ECU memory. Why guess - when you can stupidly scan the code on any diagnostic? +a lot. Spend a little time and stop by for diagnostics. It definitely won't get any worse. Otherwise, you can change everything and maybe you will find the reason.

VAZ 2114 check light is on: eliminating misfire in the cylinder

A common and unpleasant problem, but don’t rush to get upset, it can be completely eliminated. Your car's jerking behavior may be caused by a misfire in the fourth cylinder. In addition, because of this, the car’s power decreases and fuel consumption also increases. At the moment the fuel-air mixture is supplied, three cylinders have to work at full power, and the last one - the fourth - calmly cools down. As a result: a loss of about 25% of the car’s power.

Misfire can occur for a number of reasons: unsatisfactory condition of the car's ignition system, low quality fuel. However, with bad gasoline, the car may not start at all. If you refuel at a certified gas station, then this point should be omitted. Let's go further. Check the status of the following system elements:

1. Unscrew the spark plugs and assess their condition. They must be free of soot and mechanical damage.
2. Check the condition of the high-voltage wires, they can also cause misfire in the cylinder
3. Due to depressurization of the cylinder, compression could drop. Be sure to measure it and make sure that the compression is normal
4. What is the mileage of your car? The engine could become unusable due to wear of its main structural elements

In any case, I would recommend that you go to a service station and adjust the car's ignition. If the compression is normal and the general condition of the engine is satisfactory, focus your efforts on diagnosing the car’s ignition system. With the camshaft sensor, everything is banal and simple - replace it with a new copy. It is not that expensive, and the work is quite within the capabilities of every owner of the “fourteenth”. Good luck!
