Pinout of DPKV connector VAZ 2110 8 valves

The VAZ crankshaft sensor synchronizes the valve timing for precise supply of the fuel mixture to each engine cylinder; it applies to both the control elements of the internal combustion engine system and the executive elements. Among a dozen control and transmission devices of the internal combustion engine, a malfunction of the crankshaft position sensor will lead to the engine stopping and a malfunction of all fuel system equipment, since the balance of fuel supply, spark distribution, etc. will be disrupted.

Crankshaft sensor for VAZ 2110

Features of work

The crankshaft position sensor of the VAZ 2110 operates on the inductive principle. The crankshaft pulley is a gear with 58 total teeth. The place of two teeth on the control disk is occupied by a recess, which makes it possible to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft with the control point of the piston stroke of the first cylinder of the internal combustion engine. As the pulley rotates, the sensor reads the passage of the teeth and at the point where the notch passes, the controller transmits a signal to the ECU.

The ECU, receiving numbers about the location of the crankshaft, issues a signal regarding the order of fuel supply to each cylinder and the formation of a spark.

The crankshaft sensor is installed on a VAZ 2110, with a motor of 8 and 16 valves, on the cover of the oil supply pump near the crankshaft drive disc. Structurally, tracking devices have different layouts, but the principle of operation of the element is based on the design of the Hall element, which reacts to the passage of a permanent magnet.

Signs of breakdown

Any malfunction of the VAZ 2110 crankshaft sensor will cause the engine to be unable to start after a long period of parking. If the controller starts to malfunction while operating the car, in 90% of cases the engine will stall, since the ECU will not generate a signal to the ignition system, and the internal combustion engine safety function will work. Signs of a sensor malfunction when the unit begins to break down:

Check Engine is activated on the dashboard;
engine speed becomes unstable, traction decreases by 50%;
The VAZ 2110 crankshaft sensor must be urgently changed if the following sign of a malfunction appears: when the speed increases, a hum is felt in the engine area and knocking;
An injection engine is characterized by the appearance of popping noises in the exhaust tract area.

When the VAZ 2110 dpkv is completely faulty, the engine stalls because the computer does not send signals to form a spark.

These symptoms do not always indicate that a complete replacement of the VAZ 2110 crankshaft sensor is necessary, since all faults of the element are conditionally divided into four groups:

surface clogging;
damage to the winding of the device and violation of its integrity;
manufacturing defects;
open circuit or short circuit in the circuit.

Checking the sensor begins with cleaning the part. The cleanliness of the contacts, their security, the cleanliness of the connector are checked, and oil stains are eliminated. The design of the sensor is quite simple, but 20 percent of device failures are factory defects. The wiring break is repaired after ringing the circuit. The VAZ 2110 crankshaft sensor is not repaired, since the cost of the consumable does not exceed 100 rubles; the unit is replaced with a similar one after a short diagnosis.

Controller diagnostics

Diagnostics of the crankshaft position sensor is carried out on the dismantled controller. It is recommended to set a timing mark on the crankcase before removing it so that when installing a new element, the correct gap between the tracking device and the timing disk will be maintained. The permissible gap is 0.6–1.5 mm.

We remove the element with a 10mm wrench and carry out a visual inspection. Before checking the crankshaft sensor, the battery is disconnected and the contact points are checked. During a visual inspection, the integrity of the housing, wires, connectors, and the absence of cracks and dents on the housing are checked. If there are no signs of mechanical damage, the DPKV is checked with a multimeter.

Testing of the node can be carried out both by resistance and voltage parameters. Testing for resistance is much simpler, so it is used in most diagnostic options.

The resistance on the working controller winding should be in the range of 550–750 Ohms. Measurements are taken on two contacts of the part. For a 16-valve injector engine, a resistance deviation of 5% is considered acceptable.

Drivers rarely use the second testing option, although diagnostics with a voltmeter are considered more reliable. To check, you will need a transformer and an inductance meter, for example, the MY-6243 multimeter model is often used to measure capacitance and inductance. Checking step by step.

Calculate the inductance dpkv. The working element at a voltage of at least 500 mV will show an inductance in the range of 200–4000 iH.
Check the resistance; a working sensor shows a parameter of 20 mOhm.

Functionality check

Don't rush to conclusions. You shouldn’t blame DPKV for all the troubles. Sometimes it turns out that the cause of the problem is completely different. Therefore, first you should check whether your DC is working or not.

There are several ways to check.

Multimeter. Your task is to measure the coil resistance on the induction sensor. If it is working properly, then the indicator will be from 500 to 700 Ohms.

Multifunctional multimeter

Set the measurement limit on the multimeter to 200 millivolts, connect the probes to the output and pass a metal object around the core several times. If the sensor is working, it will be able to detect this metal and a voltage spike will appear on the display. If there are no surges, the DC must be replaced.
An oscilloscope. This verification method gives the most objective and accurate result, equal to almost 100%. Connect the device to the engine and read data in different modes. The engine will need to be started at different speeds - from 800 and above, up to 6 thousand. Look at the lines appearing on the screen. If they are of different lengths, you should look for the reason for the malfunction. Sometimes simple cleaning of dirt, checking the pulley for damage and other measures helps.

Replacement

If signs of a malfunction of the DPKV are associated with damage to the device, it is replaced without repair. The controllers are located in an inconvenient place; they are attached to the oil pump cover with a single bolt. How to remove an element step by step.

The ignition is turned off, the negative terminal of the battery is removed.
The oil pump where the sensor is located is determined, and the connector is removed. There is an 80 cm wire from the controller to the block; you can determine the location of the connector by the wire.
Use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the only screw.
The device is removed.

Before installing a new element, you must thoroughly clean the sensor seat and connector plug, and check the integrity of the wiring. This will avoid rapid failure of the new part.

If the problem in the operation of the internal combustion engine is due to the lack of a signal from the sensor connector on the computer, check the integrity of the wiring. Electronics diagnostics, if there is a signal but no response from the electronic unit, are carried out in a specialized workshop. In 90% of cases, flashing of the control system and replacement of electronic components is required.

In half of the cases, the sensor fails due to simple dirt. The controller is located in close proximity to the oil pump, which can throw out drops of liquid. Oil getting on the sensor reading element clogs the surface, oxidizes and interferes with the full transmission of data.

Functionality check

If you decide to check the serviceability of the sensor yourself, treat this procedure responsibly and carry it out correctly. On a VAZ 2114 car, the crankshaft sensor is checked in several ways.

Using a multimeter. The serviceability of the induction sensor can be assessed by the resistance of its coil. In a working product it is 500-700 Ohms.
On the multimeter, set the measurement limit to 200 millivolts, connect the probes to the terminals (where the standard wires are connected). Pass a steel object several times in front of the core. The working sensor will “see” the metal and there will be voltage spikes on the multimeter display. If there are none, replace the part.
But the most accurate results when checking are provided by an oscilloscope. When using this device, one hundred percent results can be guaranteed; it reads all the information from the sensor while the engine is running. It can be observed on the device screen. The engine, during tests, should operate at different speeds. They start with eight hundred revolutions, then two thousand, and raise it to six thousand. If the lines (on the device screen) are of different lengths, you need to look for the cause of the malfunction. Remove dirt, check the pulley for defects, and so on.

It should be noted that these verification methods work on all VAZ models with DPKV. If you have any doubts about your own abilities, then contact the service. Thanks to specialized equipment, the result will be more accurate, and the check will not take much time.

Remove from the engine

The malfunction has been identified. Let's start eliminating it. Let's look at this operation using the VAZ 2114 as an example.

Turn off the car ignition. We open the hood, fix it firmly, and visually determine where the VAZ 2114 crankshaft sensor is located. Before removal, it is advisable to remove all contaminants in the area where it is located. Next, carefully remove the block with wires from the connector.

Using a “10” wrench, unscrew the fastening bolt.

Removing the crankshaft sensor on a VAZ 2114

After dismantling the sensor, it is advisable to check the generator drive toothed pulley for defects. Since its damage can introduce errors into the operation of the entire system.

After we are convinced that there are no defects of any kind, we proceed to assembly. The seat must be clean. We install the new part in place and fasten it with a bolt (the tightening torque should not exceed 8-12 Newton meters). In this case we use adjusting washers. They are sold complete with a new sensor. Thus, using a special probe, we ensure that the gap between the pulley and the sensor core is one millimeter. The permissible error is 0.41 millimeters in the larger direction.

The gap between the pulley and the crankshaft sensor core on a VAZ 2114

We connect the block with wires into place.

After installation and checking the gap, we try to start the engine. With a confident start and stable operation of the engine, we can say that the repair was carried out successfully.

Despite the fact that the breakdown of the synchronizing sensor is not frequent, knowledge of its symptoms and consequences, as well as methods of elimination, will be useful to the car enthusiast.

New sensors are available in almost any auto parts store. The price of DPKV can vary between 200-400 rubles. How much a VAZ 2114 crankshaft sensor costs depends on your region, the location of large spare parts stores nearby (usually cheaper there) and the greed of the seller. Can be ordered in the online store. When purchasing, take the old one with you so as not to make a mistake in choosing a model. To avoid defects and repeated purchases, it is advisable to purchase from well-established sellers.

The crankshaft or crankshaft position sensor is an electromagnetic device that transmits data about the current position of the crankshaft to the electronic engine control unit. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this device, since the correct operation of the injectors responsible for supplying fuel, as well as the entire ignition system as a whole, depends on its performance.

Important points

Drivers note that not all sensors that have a suitable mounting size are suitable for working on a VAZ 2110. You can only replace the sensor with an original one, after first checking the part for functionality. A resistance test must be carried out before installation on a car; according to statistics, 1–3% of VAZ sensors have manufacturing defects.

The equipment can be considered operational only after a preliminary manual check with an ohmmeter. Things to consider.

Be sure to mark the pulley when reinstalling the part. The ideal option would be to check with a scanner that the sensor is installed correctly. Any displacement of the crankshaft will lead to disruption of the fuel supply phases.
Observe the sensor pinout. Select equipment with suitable terminal tolerances.
Tighten the fastening bolt to a torque of 8–12 nm, do not overtighten.
Leave a gap between the controller and the transfer disk.

Replacing the control device takes a few minutes; the work can be easily done in the garage. If you systematically remove oil stains from the tank, clean the engine compartment from dirt, and monitor the condition of the wiring, the DPKV will fulfill the service life declared by the manufacturer - 5–7 years.

Dismantling and installation

So, you have determined that the DPKV has failed. Therefore, there is nothing left to do but replace it. To do this you will have to dismantle the old device.

Turn off the ignition and open the hood. Securely secure it to avoid unpleasant blows to the back or head.
Remove any dirt from around the sensor so that it can be removed and visually inspected.
Disconnect the wiring block from the corresponding connector.
Using a 10 mm wrench, you can easily remove the crankshaft sensor mount.
Remove the damaged device.
At the same time, be sure to check the generator drive timing pulley. It is not uncommon for damage to appear on it, due to which the device cannot operate correctly. These teeth cause error codes to appear on the on-board computer.
If there are no defects and nothing prevents the installation of a new device, begin assembly.
If necessary, clean the installation site of the DPKV.
Place the new measuring device in the socket and tighten the mounting bolt. In this case, do not exceed a tightening torque of more than 12 N m.
Be sure to use the adjusting washer, which is already supplied by responsible sensor manufacturers.
Using a special feeler gauge, make sure that there is a gap of 1 millimeter between the pulley and the DPKV core.
The gap error can be no more than 0.41 millimeters in the upward direction. Under no circumstances should the gap be less than the required 1 mm.

Price issue

As we have already noted, VAZ 2114 owners are not often faced with the need to change the DPKV. But always be prepared for such troubles.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money purchasing a new sensor. The price depends on the store and region where car parts are sold. On average, a recreation center costs about 200-400 rubles.

Replacement at a service station is still a cost around the cost of several sensors. Therefore, think about who exactly will do the work - you or the car service specialists.

Description of the crankshaft sensor

So what is this controller and what is its purpose? Where can I find the device in order to replace it? What are the main signs of a device malfunction? We will give answers to these questions below.

Functions and purpose

On an engine with 8 or 16 valves, the DPKV is designed to perform not control options, but to implement phase synchronization for gasoline injection. Also, the crankshaft sensor on the VAZ 2110 transmits an impulse to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chambers of the power unit. Therefore, if the controller breaks down, this can lead to various vehicle systems not functioning coherently. This means that normal operation of the engine will be impossible.

VAZ 2112 crankshaft sensor

The VAZ 2110 crankshaft sensor itself is an inductive type device; this controller must respond to the passage of teeth on the master disk. This disk is mounted on the generator drive pulley, and the controller itself is installed next to it. There are 58 teeth on the pulley, between which there is a cavity the size of 2 teeth. This cavity allows synchronization with the top dead center of the engine pistons. The moment the depression passes the controller, a corresponding signal is sent to the engine control unit.

There are quite a few designs of devices of this type; the principle of their operation is based on a regulator such as the VAZ 2110 Hall sensor. In the latter case, the regulator also responds to a rotating shaft, but its operation is carried out as a result of the passage of a permanent magnet.

Where is?

If malfunctions are noticed in the operation of the engine, then before you begin to identify the breakdown and signs of malfunction, you need to find out where the regulator is located. Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on an 8- or 16-valve “ten”? If you open the hood, you will notice that the regulator can be found directly on the oil pump cover. As you can see, the location of the regulator is not particularly convenient. VAZ engineers thought through this point, thinking about the convenience of replacing the controller, so they equipped the DPKV with a long 80 cm wire.

Location of the DPKV under the hood of the car

Signs of trouble

If the controller located on the oil pump fails, the driver will not be able to start the engine. In the event of a breakdown, only replacing the regulator will solve the problem of the inability to start the motor. It should be noted that on 8- or 16-valve engines the problem of complete failure of the controller does not often occur; as practice shows, in most cases the problems accumulate.

So, what are the signs of a faulty DPKV:

Reduced engine power when driving. When the driver presses hard on the gas, power loss may be felt. Note that in carburetor engines this can occur if the accelerator pump does not operate correctly.
In some cases, engine detonation may occur, especially if it operates at high speeds. Sometimes this problem can be caused by the poor quality of the fuel used.
It may be difficult to start the engine.
Another sign of a malfunction that requires replacing the crankshaft sensor on the “ten” is increased gasoline consumption (the author of the video about replacing the crankshaft sensor on the domestic Lada is the IZO channel)))LENTA).

In general, failure of this controller can lead to unstable operation of the power unit. As for the reasons, they are usually due to manufacturing defects. In some cases, the regulator breaks due to contamination at the installation site.

Air flow control

The location of the mass air flow sensor (MAF) is on the air duct running from the filter to the throttle valve. The device consists of 3 elements located inside the air flow. The first one measures the temperature of the incoming stream, and the other 2 heat up to a certain degree. The stronger the flow passing through the air sensors of the VAZ-2110, the more intensely they are cooled. The controller that supplies the voltage determines the air flow by the energy spent on heating the 2 elements in relation to the temperature of the first meter.

There is another design of the MAF device with a silicon mesh and two elements; it operates on the same principle. The marking of the first type is 2112-1130010, the second - 21083-1130010. Receiving signals from these devices, the processor makes a calculation and changes the duration of fuel injection for the VAZ-2110. The following signs indicate a sensor failure:

the engine stalls when switching from high speed to idle;
unstable operation at idle;
difficulties arise when starting the engine;
increased fuel consumption.

Replacing the mass air flow sensor control device is not difficult; you need to disconnect the wires, remove the old sensor from the air duct and install a new one.

Diagnostics

The diagnostic procedure for a device consists of checking the resistance parameter of its windings; an ohmmeter is used for this. If, as a result of diagnostics, the tester showed values other than 550-570 Ohms, this indicates a failure of the controller. To prevent damage to the sensor, its installation site must always be kept clean. In addition, it would be a good idea to check the integrity of the wiring; very often the quality of the connections plays an important role. As for repairs, the DPKV cannot be repaired; the regulator can only be replaced with a functional one.

Normal engine temperature

For all previously produced cars (since 1992), the normal operating temperature of the engine was 90 degrees C. This value was generally accepted not only for Russia, but for the whole World, and all automakers were based on it in their standards. With the further development of automotive technology, it became clear that it is not always possible to adhere to the specified figure (especially due to the variety of engines and their systems).

As a result, at the newly held international congress, it was determined that the standard operating temperature for gasoline engines of all types will henceforth be considered the range from +85 C to +105 C. Any engine temperature within these limits is considered normal, but any, even small exceeding it to a greater extent is already overheating.

If the temperature in the engine drops below the specified norm, the car will lose power and acceleration dynamics. If the temperature goes beyond the upper limits, the engine can boil and suffer significant damage (long-term driving with a boiling engine can threaten not only its serious damage, but also wear and tear on the units adjacent to it).

Replacement Guide

How to replace the crankshaft position sensor on a VAZ 2110? To complete the task you will only need a 10mm wrench.

Step-by-step instructions for this process are presented below:

First you need to turn off the ignition. Just in case, to prevent possible short circuits in the vehicle's on-board network, you can disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
Then open the hood and find the location of the controller. You need to disconnect the connector from the regulator.
Using a 10mm wrench, you need to unscrew the bolt that secures the device. Remove the DPKV from its installation location on the oil pump cover, and then replace it with a new regulator. Before installation, you must be sure that problems in the operation of the power unit are not caused by poor quality wiring. Otherwise, the replacement will not give the necessary results. Clean the connector and installation location of the device from dust and dirt, this will avoid possible malfunctions in its operation in the future.

CO functions

The cooling system is responsible for removing excess heat that is generated during operation of the power unit. If the engine overheats, the consequences can be catastrophic.

Cooling system diagram

In addition to heat removal, CO additionally performs several other functions:

Helps accelerate engine warming up to optimal operating temperature;
Warms the air inside the cabin;
Cools the lubrication system;
Cools exhaust gases.

In total, three types of cooling systems can be used on cars:

Air. The cooling process is carried out by blowing air over the units;
Liquid. The coolant is a special liquid - water, antifreeze or antifreeze;
Combined. Both types of cooling are mixed in one system.

If we talk specifically about the VAZ 2110, then a liquid cooling system is used here, and antifreeze or antifreeze acts as a cooler.

Repair of VAZ crankshaft sensor wiring - A116.RU Kazan

Repair of wiring connector of the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) VAZ.

Quite often, the cause of the car jerking and its complete stop is an open circuit of the DPKV (error P0335 or P0336)

A wire break most often occurs at the base of the sensor connector. The connector needs to be replaced with a new one. In the article we will look at how to do this most correctly, and you will also learn how you can repair the old sensor connector if you suddenly cannot purchase a new one.

Everything was done indoors, so the part with attaching the restored connector to the car wiring is for demonstration, that is, you need to do everything the same, only not on the table, but on the car).

We cut off the connector from the car wiring at a distance of 3-5 cm from the connector. We remove the plastic wire retainer (to be honest, it doesn’t really prevent the wires from breaking at the root - so you don’t have to put it back if you’re too lazy...)

Using a wire with a diameter of 0.8 mm (we used a piece of welding wire from a Kempy semi-automatic machine) we press the fixing stops of the contacts through a special groove (it’s enough just to insert the wire until it stops).

Use the remaining wires to pull the contacts out of the connector. They come out quite tightly due to the rubber seals. We open the contact petals around the rubber seals and break off the old wires at the root.

We find a couple of pieces of wire 10-15 cm long, suitable in cross-section and color. Don't forget to put rubber seals on the wires.

We strip the ends of the wires by 3-4 mm and carefully solder them to the contacts. We used a 25-watt soldering iron, POS-61 solder and active flux based on zinc chloride.

We clamp the rubber seals with the contact petals, slightly bend the contact latches....

We insert the contacts with the wires into the connector until the latch lightly clicks. We put the plastic wire clamp on the back of the connector. The connector has been restored!

Next, let's move on to the car. We strip the DPKV wire - no more than 5 cm. We bend the screen back, strip the white and green wires by 15 mm.

We put heat-shrinkable tubes on the connector wires and twist the corresponding wires with electrical twist.

We stretch the heat shrink onto the twists and heat it with whatever comes to hand - we came across a lighter. But if you have a hairdryer on hand, it will be better... at least according to Feng Shui, that’s how it’s supposed to be.

We twist the restored wires slightly together and wrap them with electrical tape, starting from the connector. We wrap the electrical tape with an overlap of at least 50% over the previous layer. The result is in the picture below - the twisting area is quite well protected from moisture and looks neat. All that remains is to connect the connector to the sensor and ALWAYS fix the DPKV wire on a special bracket on the lower bolt of the timing belt cover.

Of course, the reliability is lower than that of solid wires - but such a connection has worked for years - it has been tested. Not a single return in 5 years.

A little about the crankshaft

The crankshaft is the most important element of any internal combustion engine. It is driven by the starter (at the moment of starting) and the pistons (in operating mode). From it, torque is transmitted to the gearbox, gas distribution system, and auxiliary mechanisms. And in order for fuel injection to be carried out in a timely manner, a spark to form at the right moment, a VAZ-2110 crankshaft sensor is needed.

It monitors the position of the pulley and transmits a signal to the electronic control unit. The pulley has teeth, the distance between them is the same. But in one place there is a gap - two teeth are missing. The position sensor reacts to the approach of metal. When an empty area passes near the sensor, a signal is generated - the control unit is notified that one revolution of the crankshaft has occurred.
