Error codes Lada Granta 8 and 16 valves: troubleshooting

Standard fault codes for Lada Grants can be read independently in two ways. The first option involves using an on-board computer. You need to follow the factory instructions and diagnostic trouble codes will be displayed on the dashboard. This procedure is simple and does not require sophisticated equipment or deep knowledge of auto electrics. The downside is the mediocre accuracy - a standard BC can only show the circuit in which the breakdown occurred.

In the second option, you can perform the diagnostics yourself by first studying the often confusing instructions and purchasing a special scanner. The external module is connected to the diagnostic connector and shows a complex code on the display. Thanks to the increased accuracy of reading information, the scanner can show a specific damaged node and even what happened to it. The disadvantage of the procedure is the need to purchase an expensive scanner and study complex instructions.

The following are descriptions of errors for cars manufactured before 2019-2020.

VAZ Granta fault codes 8 and 16 valves: decoding

Engine errors

If a power plant malfunction appears on the Grant, a characteristic “Check” indicator appears on the dashboard. Light, check engine.

When diagnosing a car, the scanner produces codes that characterize problems in the engine itself or in its auxiliary equipment.

Before clearing the code, you must eliminate the cause of its appearance. The reset itself is performed as standard.

Error 504: Grant machine

The brake pedal sensor is not working properly. Usually the problem is a stuck sensor or oxidized wiring.

606 - malfunction

The engine control module main processor is not working properly. The entire device is replaced.

A standard BC error containing several fault codes. This will require a more thorough diagnosis.

Electric power steering errors Grants

ESD errors often occur after improper washing or driving through a deep puddle. This can also be caused by damage to the module circuits.

Granta - ABS error

Typically, ABS codes on the dashboard are accompanied by the appearance of a characteristic indicator. In 90% of cases, errors are associated with incorrect operation or damage to the sensors. After inspecting the sensors and eliminating faults, you will need to reboot the module.

Error codes: Grant X1 staff

The BC modules thus transmit information about sensor malfunctions. Each specific code conveys information about a specific problem.

Oxygen sensor errors

DC codes can indicate a breakdown of the heater or the sensor itself. If the system reports problems with the lambda probe, but the modules themselves are working properly, it may be necessary to adjust the fuel mixture or replace the failed catalyst.

Neutralizer errors

Very similar to DC failures. Moreover, if the system displays a malfunction, but the sensors are working properly, the reason should be looked for here.

Immobilizer error

If such faults are present, the machine may not start. Immobilizer errors often appear due to improper operation of the module or its incorrect operation.

Grant's airbag error is on

Associated with problems with the squib igniter. Problems should be looked for in the wiring, contacts or shock sensors. The drive itself rarely fails.

Crankshaft sensor error

DPKV breakdowns are standard in the sensor section. If the system does not function correctly, the wiring and functionality of the device's operating area should be checked.

Brake pedal switch error

The end brake is a push button. The problem can only be fixed by replacing the module or restoring its wiring.

Clutch pedal error

Repairs are carried out in a similar way when the end couplings break. Pressure sensors usually fail due to normal wear and tear or improper cleaning.

Absorber fault codes

If you read errors, you should immediately contact a service station. It is not recommended to repair breakdowns of the purge valve or the system itself. To perform a proper system recovery, you must have sufficient experience and equipment.

Transmission error

They begin with the letter U. If such signals appear from the car, you should immediately contact specialists for help. The gearbox module is quite complex for self-diagnosis and repair.

Throttle valve malfunctions

TPS often transmits impulses to the BC associated with the incorrect position of the damper at a certain point in time. In addition to the failure of the sensor itself, drivers are usually faced with the need to clean the throttle itself from dirt and carbon deposits.

Oil pressure sensor malfunctions

Regardless of controller failures, codes can only indicate insufficient fluid pressure in the lines. The reason for this may be the use of a lubricant that is too fluid, a lubricant leak from the crankcase, or a pump failure.

Brake pedal sensor malfunctions

The push mechanism is a conventional limit switch. His errors are often associated with wear of the contact group of the mechanism. To perform repairs, it is enough to replace the damaged part.

Handbrake errors

The problems and design of the push button are similar; problems that arise have the same solution as in the paragraph above.

Error: Rich mixture

May occur due to the following reasons:

air filter wear;
incorrect operation of the mass air flow sensor;
incorrect formation of the working mixture.

Manual transmission error codes

There are no mechanical breakdowns. The system is completely devoid of electronic devices and sensors.

ECU error codes

If malfunctions of the ECU controller appear on the device, you should seek qualified help from specialists.

System diagnostic methods

There are two ways to identify errors in Grant and its analogues. Both methods have clear advantages and disadvantages.

Self-diagnosis of Lada Granta

The principle of the method is to use standard systems installed on the machine. The procedure does not require connecting additional equipment or studying complex instructions. To perform the check, just follow a simple sequence of actions:

simultaneously hold down the daily mileage reset button located on the dashboard and turn the key in the lock cylinder to position 2;
if everything is done correctly, the machine will go into self-diagnosis mode, all the arrows will make a full revolution and the indicators will light up;
Use the button on the steering column wiper position switch to select the required option;
Information about the firmware version appears first in the list. By clicking on the positions further, you can see the required error combination.

Note!

If, when switching to self-diagnosis, any indicators do not light up, their circuits must be checked first.

The disadvantage of this method is the low accuracy of the indicators. The display displays compressed information about the breakdown, which can only indicate the direction from which to start looking for the problem.

In the most popular versions of ECU firmware, network errors are noted as:

The specified Lada Granta error code indicates the presence of a critical power surge in the on-board network. In 90% of cases it indicates a short circuit or damage to electrical appliances.
You need to check the float sensor in the gas tank and its circuit. There may be a short circuit or damage to the sensor.
The motor has overheated or the antifreeze temperature sensor has broken.
Failure in the power supply circuit of the ambient temperature meter.
Additionally, it indicates overheating of the power plant or incorrect operation of the thermostat. Indirectly affects more complex faults such as cylinder head gasket breakdown.
The pressure in the fuel rail has dropped critically. You will need to check the pumps and the condition of the injectors. A popular error in the first generation Grant engine.
If the brakes have failed or the pads have worn out badly, diagnostics of the modules is necessary.
Severe voltage drop in the on-board network. There may be problems with the battery.

If “E” is displayed on the device, this indicates that the firmware is not working correctly.

Computer diagnostics

The next method involves connecting special equipment to the machine. The bottom line is this:

there is a special connector under the dashboard;
a laptop with the program is connected to the terminal via a special connector;
device pairing begins;
After establishing a stable connection and reading information from the BC, Lada Granta error codes will be displayed in the software window.

If everything is done correctly, special codes are displayed on the monitor. Moreover, each part of the code speaks of its own circuit.

Beginning (letter)

P – the integrity of the electrical wiring is compromised or the sensors are damaged;
C – probably the breakdown is in the suspension units, chassis;
B – problems with the internal equipment of the car;
U – resynchronization of several interconnected circuits is observed.

The following are standard notations:

0 – failure in the OBD 2 module;
1/2 – enterprise code (what this is is known only to the car manufacturer);
3 – malfunction of spare wiring parts.

The next part indicates the serial number of the on-board circuit section where the breakdown is located:

0 – exhaust cleaning device;
1 – motor air supply system;
2 – fuel lines, pumps and injectors;
4 – control devices;
5 – malfunctions or disruption in the operation of additional systems;
7/8 – transmission, chassis.

Next comes another two-digit number - the last part of the index points directly to the system where there is a problem.

Removing the oxygen sensor Lada Granta, Kalina 2

Removing the oxygen sensor 1 Turn off the ignition. 2 Disconnect the wiring harness connector from the sensor. 3 Carefully unscrew the sensor ( wrench 22 ). ATTENTION. Handle the new sensor with care. Do not allow grease or dirt to get into the sensor wiring harness block or the slotted end of the sensor housing. Installing the oxygen sensor 1 Lubricate the threads of the sensor with graphite lubricant. 2 Screw the sensor into the neutralizer body. Sensor tightening torque 25…45 N.m 3 Attach the wiring harness block to the sensor.

location of oxygen sensor bank1 sensor1 grant, viburnum 2

The UDC is installed on the receiving pipe (Fig. 1.1-06). Its sensitive element is located in the exhaust gas flow. The UDC generates a voltage varying in the range of 50...900 mV. This output voltage depends on the presence or absence of oxygen in the exhaust gases and on the temperature of the UDC sensing element. When the UDC is in a cold state, there is no output signal from the sensor, since in this state its internal electrical resistance is very high - several megohms. As the sensor warms up, the resistance drops and the ability to generate an output signal becomes possible. To operate effectively, the UDC must have a temperature of at least 300°C. For quick warm-up after starting the engine, the UDC is equipped with an internal electric heating element, which is controlled by a controller. The duty cycle of heater control pulse signals (the ratio of the duration of the on state to the pulse repetition period) depends on the temperature of the UDC and the operating mode of the engine.

If the sensor temperature is above 300°C, then at the moment of passing through the stoichiometry point, the sensor output signal switches between low level (50...200 mV) and high level (700...900 mV). A low signal level corresponds to a lean mixture (presence of oxygen), a high signal level corresponds to a rich mixture (no oxygen).

conclusions

Most of these problems are caused by improper operation of the vehicle, including the use of low-quality fuel and oil, as well as prolonged operation at high speeds. It would be a good idea to carry out preventive maintenance from time to time to identify shortcomings in the form of leaks in the fuel channel, where air can get in.

Electrics and body

The generator bearings have insufficient life. They can begin to hum by 80,000 km. Power windows often squeak and raise the windows slowly due to glass jamming in the seals. Electric window motors often fail. You can also note the leakage of the rear lights of sedans: not only water, but also insects penetrate inside.

The paint on the body can be easily damaged by stones flying from under the wheels of other cars. The resulting paint chips “bloom” quite quickly. The paint layer is so thin that it is sometimes rubbed off by the door seals. The seat adjustment knob often breaks off.

The engine runs unsteadily and stalls at idle.

— Insufficient pressure in the ramp. For a description of the solution to the problem, see above in the paragraph “The engine does not start.” — Malfunction of the electronic gas pedal. For a description of the solution to the problem, see above in the paragraph “The engine does not start.” — There is an air leak. The suction is possible through the crankcase ventilation hoses connecting the intake pipe to the vacuum brake booster. Tighten all fastening clamps and, if necessary, replace the hoses with new ones. — Valve clearances are broken. If you have an 8-valve engine, then periodically (every 15-20 thousand km) it is necessary to adjust the timing valves. — Malfunction of the ignition system. For solutions to problems, see above, in the paragraph “Engine does not start.”

CONTROL OXYGEN SENSOR (UDC) grant, viburnum 2

The most effective reduction in the toxicity of exhaust gases from gasoline engines is achieved with a mass ratio of air and fuel in the mixture (14.5... 14.6). This ratio is called stoichiometric. With this composition of the air-fuel mixture, the catalytic converter most effectively reduces the amount of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides emitted in the exhaust gases. To optimize the composition of the exhaust gases in order to achieve the greatest efficiency of the converter, closed-loop fuel supply control is used with feedback on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust gases. The controller calculates the injection pulse duration based on parameters such as air mass flow, crankshaft speed, coolant temperature, etc. To adjust the calculations of the duration of the injection pulse, information about the presence of oxygen in the exhaust gases, which is provided by the oxygen sensor, is used.

Insufficient oil pressure.

1. Using oil that is not suitable for the engine. Use only oils and specifications recommended by the manufacturer. 2. Oil dilution/foaming as a result of fuel/antifreeze entering the engine crankcase. It is necessary to identify leaks and eliminate them. After this, be sure to replace the oil with a new one, with flushing. 3. Worn oil pump. The oil pump resource is quite long. Its failure is rare. If damaged, replace with a new one. 4. The oil filter is clogged. Replace with a new one, along with an oil change. 5. Damage to the crankcase. Check for external damage to the engine crankcase. It may be damaged by the road surface, which will reduce the gap between the oil receiver and the bottom of the oil sump. 6. Clogged oil channels and lines. May be caused by contaminated oil over a long period of time. The system needs to be flushed. 7. Cracks, uninstalled oil channel plugs. Carry out a visual inspection and install missing plugs.

The engine does not develop full power.

— The engine is new, has not yet been run-in. The new Granta engine needs an initial run-in of up to 6-7 thousand km. During this period, the engine does not develop full rated power. The crankshaft revolutions during the break-in period should not be raised above 3000. — Malfunction of the electronic gas pedal. For a description of the solution to the problem, see above in the paragraph “The engine does not start.” — Insufficient pressure in the ramp. For a description of the solution to the problem, see above in the paragraph “The engine does not start.” — Valve clearances are broken. If you have an 8-valve engine, then periodically (every 15-20 thousand km) it is necessary to adjust the timing valves. — Malfunction of the ignition system. For solutions to problems, see above, in the paragraph “Engine does not start.” — Low compression in the cylinders.

Transmission

The manual transmission has been modernized more than once. It now has a cable drive, thanks to which the gears are engaged with less effort, and the accuracy of the selection mechanism has increased. This box has the factory index VAZ-2181. But the sound when its gears operate is still too loud. The problem with the second gear synchronizer has not been completely resolved. Poor engagement and rapid wear of the synchronizer, despite numerous upgrades, still occur. As well as oil leaks through the seals. The reason is the low quality of the seals themselves and the insufficient accuracy of the positioning of the seal relative to the shaft. All this fully applies to the VAZ-2182 robotic gearbox, because it was created on the basis of a mechanical one.

In the case of gearbox 2181, the clutch mechanism rarely lasts more than 100,000 km, especially if the car is used in a big city and often sits idle in traffic jams. In robotic gearboxes, the clutch lives even less.

The only truly reliable transmission in the line is a 4-speed automatic from the Japanese company Jatco.

How to reset an error on Grant

In the Lada Granta, the check error “pops up” relatively often. This is caused by the presence of a large number of auxiliary equipment and electronic modules in the engine compartment.

Partial error reset on a car can be done mechanically:

warm up the engine to normal temperature;
disconnect the battery from the on-board network for 15-20 minutes;
reconnect the battery;
turn the key in the ignition lock cylinder to position No. 2 and leave it alone for 1-2 minutes;
return the key to position “0”.

If everything is done correctly, the errors will be cleared. The method is not suitable for complex failures - some errors cannot be canceled this way.

To completely remove codes from the on-board computer’s memory, it is performed using special diagnostic equipment. Devices must be purchased separately in case of constant need. Purchasing a scanner to service one car is not economically feasible.

Car history

Today, the domestic model Lada Granta is a sales leader. Every year it becomes more and more popular, in demand and interesting to a wide audience, because the car was created using completely new technology, using original design solutions. Engineers have finally begun to move away from the outdated, established stereotypes of automotive design. The result of this search was Granta.

So, at the beginning of the 2000s, the AvtoVAZ plant reminded itself of itself with a good Lada Kalina project. Of course, this car still needed serious improvements and adjustments. But nevertheless, already from this car, new trends in the work of the enterprise emerged, which the press was quick to report and both critics and ordinary car enthusiasts noted. Now the plant management decided to continue the work line that had been started; the next project was to be even more daring, non-standard, combining such qualities as aesthetics, dynamics, comfort and low price.

Initially, the name of the new model was given a lot of words, Low Cost, which translated from English means “low price”. But later it was decided to replace this name with something more sonorous and bright. So, having selected one, Grant, from hundreds of thousands of items, AvtoVAZ began to establish serial production. In 2009, our compatriots saw the first copies of the Lada Grant.

Of course, she was strikingly different from Kalina, and even more so from previous projects. There was no longer that laconic modesty inherent in domestic developments; this car attracted attention with its alluring, elegant forms, an abundance of extraordinary design solutions, and an excellent technical component. It was no longer a shame to show such a car to a global audience, which is what they did.

Granta Sport has repeatedly performed at major international competitions, taking prestigious places. This is how AvtoVAZ’s new idea debuted. But, in addition to the undeniable advantages, there are also flaws in Grant. Here and there there are annoying breakdowns, reminding us that we still have a domestic car in front of us, which is not fully thought out and is still far from ideal.

Motor repair

A major overhaul of a VAZ 2110 engine means restoring the engine and its components to factory standards. This operation is carried out when the motor has passed its service life and there is exhaustion in the main components.

Due to the fact that the engines have been in use for a long time, some engines are 10-15 years old, a major overhaul is inevitable. So, the combustion chambers have already worn out, and the pistons have burned out from service life and mileage. In addition, engine oil for the VAZ 2110 no longer helps to maintain performance to such an extent.
