Hyundai Solaris dashboard: general information on icons

The Solaris dashboard is equipped with an advanced driver alert system and indicators that meet stringent safety requirements. The abundance of indicators and tidy icons can confuse even an experienced user. For example, “ECO” signals are missing on most older cars, which necessitates the need to carefully study the owner’s manual when purchasing. But when purchasing a used car, you may not receive instructions. Below is a detailed description of all the elements of the board with a full transcript.

Hyundai Solaris dashboard: general information on icons

The Solaris dashboard is equipped with an advanced driver alert system and indicators that meet stringent safety requirements.
The abundance of indicators and tidy icons can confuse even an experienced user. For example, “ECO” signals are missing on most older cars, which necessitates the need to carefully study the owner’s manual when purchasing. But when purchasing a used car, you may not receive instructions. Below is a detailed description of all the elements of the board with a full explanation.

Hyundai Solaris: indicators on the instrument panel

There are several types of indicators that display the status of on-board systems in real time. Standard instruments have three types of indicators, separated by color.

1. Green/blue. The indicators indicate the normal operation of external lighting devices and secondary equipment that is not directly related to the operation of the power plant.
2. If the yellow or orange indicator lights up, this indicates the need for vehicle maintenance. Some indicators indicate that the coolant temperature has been exceeded or an alarm has been activated.
3. If the red indicator lights up, urgent diagnostics or repair of the machine is required. In this case, further operation of the machine until the malfunction is eliminated is prohibited.

Kalina

If a red exclamation symbol inscribed in a triangle lights up, this may indicate a malfunction of the brake drive. This is usually caused by a critical drop in fluid in the expansion tank. To eliminate the indicator, simply add the product to the required level.

Also on 2008 versions, the pointer may be accompanied by sound signals and additional lamps flash. This may be caused by a third-party option and can be specifically determined by checking the circuit.

If the light blinks, the reason is hidden in a system error or outgoing contacts. Diagnostics is performed by eliminating loose terminals and connecting a computer.

What does the icon on the Solaris dashboard mean?

Regardless of the year of manufacture, 2011, 2013 or 2022, the indication and appearance of the indicators are practically the same. Cars with a new body are equipped with standard instrumentation and all the bulbs, except for the ones added, will be identical. Globally, icons are divided into three types:

• index;
• warning;
• prohibiting movement.

The group breakdown looks like this.

1. Notify the driver about the normal operation of standard systems.
2. Warns the driver about problems that require intervention. This could be the activation of the TPMS system, the end of the fluid in the windshield washer reservoir, and others.
3. When such icons flash, you must immediately stop the machine and fix the problem. Driving with a light on, such as check the engine or critical overheating of antifreeze, is strictly prohibited.

Information signs

Further explanation of the designations is given using the example of the 2018 model. At the same time, most of the points will coincide with indicators of other years.

Danger signs

Such indicators appear if there is a serious reason for stopping. Emergency signs are red and often appear in conjunction with other symbols.

Fault warnings

The next group of icons indicates breakdowns of major systems or the need for urgent maintenance.

Distinctive features

The Supervision panel is divided into two subtypes. The usual one has a silver edging of the instrument wells, red illumination of the arrows, and partial blue illumination of the interior space.

Supervision 1 has backlit arrows in white, and the entire instrument area is illuminated in blue. In addition, when starting and stopping the engine, a welcome or farewell message appears on the on-board computer display: “Welcome Hyundai”, “Goodbye”.

Error icons on the Solaris dashboard

In self-diagnosis mode, the display may display one or more digital codes indicating problems in a certain part of the vehicle's wiring and on-board systems. The description of the codes is given using the example of a 2014 type ECU, taking into account the most common faults:

• 00 – systems are operating normally, there are no errors;
• 11/12 – the cabin thermometer is broken or a short circuit is detected in the circuit;
• 13/14 – similar for the outside temperature sensor;
• 17/18 – evaporator sensor circuit is disabled;
• 19/20 – the wiring of the damper drive/mixture potentiometer on the driver’s side is damaged;
• 21/22 – open circuit, short circuit/malfunction in the mode damper network;
• 25/26 – open/short circuit of the potentiometer of the specified device;
• 47 – malfunction of the engine speed sensor;
• 48 – the ABS system has detected incorrect rotation of one or more wheels;
• 49 – DTOZH error.

Error P0300

When random misfire occurs while the engine is running, P0300 appears. The code tells the driver that random misfires have been detected in one of the cylinders. The lighting of the “Check Engine” indicator is accompanied by uneven operation of the power unit and difficult starting, especially when “cold”.

Diagnostics is carried out as follows: first of all, check the intake tract for air leaks, after which the spark plug in the first cylinder is changed. If the problem persists, then the ignition coil is inspected. The cost of the original reel is about 3,000 rubles, a high-quality analogue costs half as much.

Possible malfunctions of the device and methods for eliminating them

This is a complex, reliable complex, characterized by unpretentiousness and rare breakdowns. However, problems happen here too. The main malfunctions are as follows.

1. Broken or damaged arrow indicators. Eliminated by replacing the module or pointer drives.
2. Indicator lamp burns out. The indicator on the instrument panel stops lighting. The problem is resolved by replacing the light bulb.
3. Failure of relays, fuses. Can be repaired by standard workshop repairs.
4. Short circuit of contact pins and connectors. A breakdown can lead to a complete replacement of the device. Resoldering leads reaches 50% of the cost of a new part.

Procedure for removing and installing the tidy

To dismantle this part on Solaris, you must perform a sequence of actions.

1. Disconnect the contacts from the battery.
2. Unclip the center console of the media player. The part is attached to plastic latches and removed with a flat-head screwdriver.
3. Disconnect the audio system unit (held on by 4 screws).
4. Carefully unhook the wiring contacts.
5. Next, unscrew the steering column covers and remove them.
6. Using a wide screwdriver, release the fasteners of the facing part of the board.
7. Underneath there are 4 bolts holding the instrument cluster - unscrew.
8. Next, you will need to disconnect the wire terminals and completely remove the board from the machine.

Explanation of symbols on the dashboard.

We offer our readers the most complete list of symbols that can light up on the dashboard of cars. Modern cars have many gauges and sensors, as well as electronic engine control. All information from the sensors flows into the on-board computer of the car. In the event of any error, breakdown or other need to inform the driver of important information, automakers have provided a large number of signal symbols and inscriptions on the dashboard, which, under certain conditions, immediately light up.

Unfortunately for everyone, such a wide variety of signal symbols on the dashboard of a car confuses many of our drivers, and sometimes even just scares them. We have collected for you, dear readers, more than 150 signal symbols that are found in more than 2000 cars today. This review includes 30 automobile brands.

The lever is moved up or down to the following positions

Car manufacturers have provided several types of such inscriptions and symbols on the dashboard, dividing them by color (color scheme). For example, if you see on the dashboard (on the dashboard) not a red icon-symbol, but, for example, green or blue, then your car is most likely still operating in normal mode and you can safely continue driving. But nevertheless, you should never ignore the appearance of any warning signal on the dashboard.

If a red symbol appears on this panel, the vehicle's electronic system is warning you in advance of a potential serious problem.

The exclamation mark is on: why, what to do?

Many car owners experience situations when an exclamation mark lights up on the instrument panel. On different car models it can be of different shapes and colors - yellow, red, white, in a square, in a circle, in a triangle. But in any case, it means that the car needs to be checked.

It must be said that such a check does not always require a visit to a car service center. In most cases, you can understand why the exclamation mark is on and what is happening to the car on your own.

Information displays on the dashboard for technical messages and warnings.

Over time, malfunctions may appear in the operation of the control panel:

1. Failure of the device itself. If the shield breaks, there can be many signs of this. For example, all devices and instruments will refuse to work, or maybe only some of them. The car owner will have to check the unit for faults and repair it. Moreover, it is better to contact specialists for repairs, especially if you have never performed a similar task before. Moreover, it will not be possible to properly check the unit without the appropriate equipment.
2. The backlight of the device has disappeared, but all equipment is working normally. If this is the case, then the reason is unlikely to lie in burnt-out light bulbs; most likely, it needs to be looked for in the fuses or cable. After all, it may be damaged - this can be diagnosed using a tester. If it turns out that the problem is with the cable, it needs to be changed.
3. All or some of the indicator lights do not work. The problem can be caused either by a malfunction of the microcircuit itself, or by a burnt-out light bulb or a breakdown of one or another sensor. If the sensor fails, the lamp may remain on continuously. Burnt-out light bulbs should be replaced, and if you notice that there are oxidized contacts on the circuit, they need to be cleaned. Sometimes the reason lies in the contacts of the lamp socket being too loosely attached to the board; if this is the case, then the contacts just need to be bent.
4. The speedometer refuses to work. In most cases, the reason lies precisely in the board itself, so it will be necessary to fully diagnose it before drawing any conclusions.
5. The fuel level or coolant temperature controller refuses to work, or these devices work but show incorrect data. First of all, you need to check the sensors - sometimes they fail, sometimes the wiring breaks, and in some cases the reason, again, lies in acidified contacts. If the regulator breaks down, the device must be replaced with a new one, if the wiring is broken, the wire must be changed, and if the contacts are oxidized, the terminals must simply be cleaned (the author of the video is Sergey Zhuravlev).

The need to remove the instrument panel can be caused by a variety of reasons.

The panel on the Hyundai Solaris does not work well or has completely failed. As a rule, in such a situation, some of the indicators cease to function. The owner of the car will have to check the unit for faults. It is better to entrust the procedure to the masters, because they have specialized equipment.

The dashboard on the Hyundai Solaris car operates without backlight. It is extremely rare that the cause is burnt out light bulbs. It's the cable or the fuse. Diagnostics is carried out using a tester, which, again, is available from specialists.

One or more indicators do not work. Here the issue could be either the light bulbs or the failure of the microcircuit. Such a breakdown can also be caused by problems with the sensor. Also, if there are problems with the full functioning of the fuel level and temperature controllers, it is necessary to check their sensors. You can do the same in the case of a speedometer failure.

Quite often the contacts in sensors oxidize, which is a simple and quick fix. In addition, you do not have to remove the tidy. You shouldn’t discount the option that the tidy may simply creak, and this is most often a factory defect, or the screws have become loose due to vibrations.

Error P2188

Rich mixture at idle, this is what P2188 indicates. As a rule, the culprits in this situation are either a clogged absorber or a failed fuel injection pressure control valve. The problem associated with the absorber is quite easy to identify: fuel consumption increases, the engine significantly loses power. A clogged valve in the device can completely immobilize the car.

But a faulty fuel pressure regulator valve means that the engine becomes unable to fully develop its power and does not gain speed. Often the power unit stalls in different operating modes. The symptoms are similar to those that occur in the case of a clogged fuel filter or faulty fuel pump. Checking the pressure regulator valve is quite simple: to do this, you need to arm yourself with a pressure gauge and measure the pressure between the fuel hose and the fitting, after first disconnecting the vacuum hose.

Lighting icons and symbols in cars.

Below are all the lights on your dashboard that are related to your vehicle's lighting system. Many of us have probably seen many icons and symbols in our cars. Most of them light up green or blue.

Headlight fault symbols.

High beam on icon.

Automatic low beam system activated. Light sensor.

Automatic high beam control system.

Headlight alignment icon. If it lights up, then diagnostics is necessary.

Daytime running lights indicator.

Faulty light bulb in the rear headlights.

Rear fog lamp symbol.

Arrows indicating that the turn signals are working or the hazard lights are on.

Checking and resetting errors

There are two ways to check and reset errors on the Hyundai Solaris. One of them requires a scanner and software. Therefore, only a few motorists use it. The second way is using the self-diagnosis mode, which is suitable for many owners of this car. The search for fault codes is carried out as follows:

• Turn on the ignition and wait 3 seconds;
• In five seconds, press the gas sharply 5 times;
• Quickly release the pedal after the last press and wait 7 seconds;
• Depress the gas pedal and wait for the codes to appear on the display, if any.

You can also remove errors using self-diagnosis or an auto scanner. Removal is recommended when it is obvious that the damage has been fixed.
