Sensors on the dashboard of the VAZ 2110. The main designations of the icons on the instrument panel of the VAZ

In any vehicle, the dashboard allows you to monitor the condition of the main components of the car, and the domestic “ten” in this case is no exception. What is the VAZ 2110 car, how to properly dismantle and install the control panel? You will find answers to these questions below.

[ Hide ]

Display symbols

Each owner of the VAZ 21102 knows that when the ignition is turned on, the icons of this or that equipment light up on the dashboard. When the engine is started, almost all of these symbols on the instrument panel disappear. If one of the symbols continues to burn or blink, you need to pay attention to the diagnostics of the device. By mistake or ignorance, many motorists do not pay attention to burning or blinking indicators. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the purpose of the elements of the instrument cluster circuit so that, if necessary, you can always diagnose the equipment.

Top part

In the VAZ 2110, the shield circuit is divided into two parts - upper and lower.

First, consider the description and notation of the dashboard diagram of the upper part, we read from left to right:

1. The most extreme sensor with a scale and an arrow. This is the coolant temperature regulator of the cooling system. If the arrow crosses the red line, this indicates an overheating of the engine.
2. The next sensor on the VAZ 2110 panel is a tachometer that shows the number of engine revolutions.
3. In the middle there are two arrows - left and right - these are turn signals that light up when turns are turned on.
4. The VAZ 2110 tidy, like on any other car, includes the main device that every motorist knows about. This is a speedometer, located more on the right side, designed to show the speed of the car.
5. On the right side there is another sensor with an arrow - this is a fuel gauge in the gas tank. Depending on the configuration of the car, a red filling column may be drawn instead of a yellow lamp. If it lights up, this indicates a lack of gasoline in the tank. With a normally working fuel level sensor, a light on indicates that seven liters of gasoline are left in the gas tank (the author of the video is RayLed LED tuning).

Bottom part

The instrument cluster VAZ 2110 also includes indicators located on the bottom of the board. If the electric diodes do not light up, then this indicates that the vehicle is operating in normal mode. But if at least one of the indicators starts to bitter or blink, this indicates a possible malfunction of the equipment or mechanism. As a rule, the appearance of such a lamp indicates the need for repair of nodes.

So, for what characteristics the devices are responsible, consider the description from left to right:

1. The light bulb, located at the bottom left, reports the operation of the air damper. Only vehicles with a carburetor engine are equipped with this indicator.
2. LED in the form of an oiler. When connecting and turning the ignition key, the diode always lights up. If the lamp appeared while the engine was running, this indicates that the pressure of the engine fluid in the system is too low. Sometimes this may be due to a consumable leak. Before you continue driving, it is advisable to fix the problem yourself or drive to the nearest service station.
3. Symbol with the letter R inside. This is a sign of a handbrake, it lights up only when the lever is on.
4. The next symbol is a breakdown associated with the operation of the battery or generator. This may be an insufficient battery charge, wiring problems (opens or shorts), or a loose or broken alternator strap. One way or another, the problem also needs to be solved.
5. The Check Engine lamp is the most unpleasant option for a car enthusiast. When the engine is on, this symbol indicates a breakdown in the operation of the power unit. According to experts, when this icon appears, it is best to stop the car, turn off the engine and diagnose the units and components of the vehicle.
6. On the above symbol is a red triangle. This lamp appears when the light alarm or "emergency gang" is working.
7. The headlight on icon indicates the operation of high-beam lamps - it lights up in order to notify the driver about the operation of the optics. If another car is moving towards you while driving, it is advisable to turn off this lamp.
8. The next sign in a red circle signals to the motorist that there is insufficient brake fluid in the system. There is a possibility that there is a leak in the system. Driving with a low brake fluid level is very dangerous, so this problem must be solved as soon as possible.
9. If the symbol of a burning light bulb is lit on the tidy, this indicates the operation of the parking lights.
10. Among other things, the control panel is also equipped with a time indicator, as well as a key for adjusting this parameter. It has a display that shows the car's mileage - both total and daily. If you have a "ten" with a new type of control panel, then this screen may be narrow.

VAZ 2110 always lights up when the dimensions are on.

Additional panel

The additional panel is located on the dashboard, in the middle of the center console:

1. Butter dish. If this light is on, the driver needs to check the engine fluid level.
2. Car wiper icon. Its appearance indicates a lack of windshield washer fluid level.
3. Another indicator indicating that the coolant temperature is too high, which may indicate that the engine is overheating.
4. Strikethrough lamp icon with an arrow. If this symbol is lit, it indicates that the parking lights or brake lights are not working.
5. Wheel with brake pads. When this lamp starts to burn, most likely, the on-board computer reports wear on the brake pads. Accordingly, the driver needs to diagnose and replace them if necessary.
6. The last icon of a person with a seat belt - the ECU indicates the need to fasten the seat belt.

Removal and modification guide

If indicators appear while driving, this does not always indicate a malfunction in the operation of the nodes. Perhaps the problem is simply the inoperability of the sensor responsible for the operation of the unit. Or the problem may be a broken wiring or poor 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 tune it in such a way that the color of the speedometer and other sensors was white, but he did not take into account that the plastic on the tidy was originally yellow. Accordingly, the final result of the author of the video was not pleased.

Often, motorists decide to do something to improve the appearance in the car. To do this, you can simply remove the panel trim and simply remove the regular lamps. By installing LEDs instead. Such a control panel will increase the brightness of the indicators. If necessary, you can install a more modern europanel, which will allow you to transform the interior of the "dozens". If you want to tune just the control panel, you can install a new overlay on it.

This will require:

1. First, de-energize the car's on-board network. To do this, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
2. Further, it is dismantled, for this all the necessary bolts are unscrewed.
3. The next step is to remove the control panel mounts to the overlay. 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 shield are turned off.
5. Now a new pad is being installed on 2110. If necessary, install LEDs instead of ordinary light bulbs. Further assembly is carried out in the reverse order.

Always be careful when working with electrics. If you damage at least one wire when removing or installing the dashboard, this can lead to sad consequences, up to non-working devices on the dashboard. For example, often the owners of "tens" are faced with the problem of the speedometer not working, which is usually associated with wiring. Therefore, always be careful when working with the dashboard. Besides, after parsing the instrument panel, or rather removing the arrows, there is a possibility of displaying distorted readings.

Instrument cluster VAZ 2110-11-12: All vehicle control devices are combined into a instrument cluster. It includes: electronic speedometer and tachometer, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge and 12 warning lights. The instrument cluster is fixed in the instrument panel socket with two screws. Dashboard combinations are produced by schetmash, Kursk and VDO. In addition, on the VAZ 2110, you can install the instrument panel from the VAZ 2115 (with two windows), the instrument panel combination will display the correct information. In addition, there are combinations of the instrument panel with a mechanical odometer.

Instrument combination. All control devices of the car are united in a combination of devices. It includes: electronic speedometer and tachometer, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge and 12 warning lights. The instrument cluster is fixed in the instrument panel socket with two screws.

The connections of the instrument cluster are made by printed wiring on a foil-coated getinax board. The board is fixed on the back side of the case. The scheme of connections of a combination of devices is given on fig. , plug addresses in table "Addresses of output plugs of the instrument cluster"

The speedometer has two counters of the distance traveled: one is total, and the second is “daily”. The readings of the daily counter can be set to zero by the button located on the instrument cluster itself. The daily counter can only be reset when the vehicle is stationary.

An electronic instrument cluster can be installed on some of the manufactured cars. It contains the same instruments and indicator lamps as the conventional instrument cluster. You can check the instrument cluster only on a stand in a specialized workshop. The instrument cluster is not repairable.

Display unit of the onboard control system. The unit contains an electronic control circuit with a sound signaling device and 10 LED signaling devices: insufficient oil level, insufficient coolant level, insufficient washer fluid level, faulty exterior lighting lamps, seat belts not fastened, front brake pad wear, and four door open signaling devices. The block plug addresses are given in table "Addresses of the output plugs of the display unit of the on-board monitoring system" The order of conditional numbering of the plugs of the block is similar to the order of numbering of the plugs in the blocks of the instrument cluster (see fig. Connection diagram of the instrument cluster (view from the back)).

Odometer correction on the instrument panel combination VAZ 2110 2111 2112 2113 2114 2115

Special devices can be used to correct the odometer, but they are often specialized and not available to most. As an alternative to these devices, you can implement the correction of mileage readings by following the following recommendations.

The odometer is actually a pulse counter powered by a speed sensor. If a certain frequency is observed and applied to the terminals of the instrument panel combination, the odometer readings can be corrected.

In particular, a pulse with a frequency of 200Hz corresponds to a car speed of 120km/h. The increase in the frequency of the pulses is not linear, so at a frequency of 2500 Hz, the speed will be 1120 km, while the speedometer needle will simply show the maximum speed.

The pulses supplied to the output (terminal 9 of the red block, see the figure below) of the instrument panel combination for mileage correction must be rectangular. The easiest way to implement pulse generation is through a computer sound card, that is, actually feeding sound from the computer output to the instrument cluster, while limiting the sound to a minimum and not using amplifiers in order to prevent a high signal level. Subsequently, raise the sound level until the instrument panel starts counting the kilometer, that is, the odometer correction begins. For the formation of impulses, it is better to use the program, it can be downloaded from any radio site on the Internet. In addition, a necessary requirement is the power during the correction of the odometer mileage and the instrument cluster itself. As a result, observing all the above requirements, make connections according to the following scheme.

Figure 2 Scheme for adjusting the odometer on the instrument panel combination VAZ 2110 2111 2112 2113 2114 2115

The KT3102 transistor can be replaced with any high-frequency transistor with a similar structure, for example KT315.

Now you can adjust the mileage, odometer kilometer and at home!

Be careful when connecting, do not reverse the contacts and polarity, in order to avoid damage to the electrical part of the instrument panel combination.

Does the instrument panel on the VAZ 2110 not work? For repairs, you will need a diagram, panel pinout. As in any other model, the dozens dashboard serves to display the state of the car, it shows the amount of fuel, speed, and also informs the owner of the VAZ 2110 about malfunctions in the nodes. But not for all motorists, the panel is an open book, especially for novice drivers. This material describes the pinout, the principle of operation, the purpose of the devices, the main malfunctions, as well as repairs.

Indicators

Dashboard

At the moment of ignition, all the lights on the instrument panel light up, after starting the engine, most of the indicators go out. Sometimes, even after starting the engine, one bulb continues to glow or even blink. This worries drivers, because it is difficult to say which node in the VAZ 2110 car is malfunctioning, diagnostics are required to determine the breakdown.

We know that the “ten” is old or new. In both versions, the designations remain identical, the only difference is the location of the bulbs and their scheme.

At the bottom of the instrument panel there are indicators that signal a malfunction in the operation of various VAZ 2110 systems. If they continue to light when the engine is running, it means that repairs will have to be carried out.

Going from left to right:

1. The leftmost bulb located on the instrument panel refers to the air damper - the indicator is present in models with a carburetor engine;
2. Oil can icon. If the indicator lights up or flashes, then the oil compression in the power plant has dropped, the pump is malfunctioning;
3. Letter "P" inside a circle. The dashboard reports that you forgot to turn off the parking brake;
4. A light that indicates a malfunction of the battery or generator. The alternator belt may have broken, an open circuit has appeared, charging is not in progress;
5. When the "far" works, the headlight icon lights up on the panel;
6. Light bulb icon - the indicator shows the included dimensions;
7. "Check Engine" indicator. If it burns, then it is urgent to carry out diagnostics and subsequent repair of the VAZ 2110 engine, serious defects have appeared in the operation of the power plant. The best solution is to stop moving;
8. Directly above the sign of a faulty engine is an alarm lamp.

In addition to these indicators, the front part is equipped with a display showing the mileage. Also in this area are the clock and setting keys for them. In the “dozens” of the new generation, the screen may be of a narrow format, but the scheme remains the same.

Additional panel

The new model cars have an additional panel with useful indicators. A flashing icon depicting a man with a belt tells you to buckle up - this applies to both the driver and his companions. While driving, the wheel icon may light up, it is possible that the pads are worn out, repair is required.

• Oiler lamp - lights up when the oil level drops below normal - you should check the level as soon as possible.
• Windshield washer - he tells us that the washer fluid is almost over.
• The thermometer above the tank indicates an increased temperature of the coolant.
• Crossed out icon with an arrow - the position or brake light does not work.

Dashboard diagram

In the figure above, the connection diagram of the instrument cluster. That is, according to this scheme, you can determine the connection point on the dashboard of a faulty indicator. You will need it if you have to change, for example, a battery warning lamp due to a malfunction. But in addition to the wiring diagram, you also need the pinout diagram, which is described below.

Pinout

If you want to perform repairs or other operations on the instrument panel, then you need a VAZ 2110 pinout. If it is not available, you will have to track each wire from the indicator, button to the device. The scheme allows you to determine which of the devices does not work in the event of a malfunction in a particular node. If the indicators in the old and new VAZ 2110 are identical, then the pinout is slightly different. There are two pads - red and white. Pinout only at the beginning can seem complicated. Let's take a few connectors as an example.

Under the first number is the black wire that goes to ground. The thirteenth number is tied to the oil pressure sensor in the system, as the circuit also tells us. The white block indicates the connector number, wire and node (unit) to which the wiring goes. The red block is read in exactly the same way. The first connector contains blue and red wires, they go to the external temperature sensor. As for the thirteenth number, here the white wire leads to the ignition switch.

The pinout and circuit shown in this article are basic. They may differ in color coding, because many variations of the VAZ 2110 have entered the market. In order not to get confused, it is recommended to compare the data from the article with the instruction manual, where there is also a diagram and pinout.

Faults and repairs

Instruments or indicators may fail. It can be part of the indicators or even the entire speedometer. Owners of the VAZ 2110 rarely encounter such a situation, since the dashboard is working properly, especially in domestic cars. Before changing the instrument panel or repairing individual parts, you should make sure that the sensors are working - we use the on-board computer.

Inaccurate installation leads to failure of the elements. On the dashboard board, the parts are fastened with simple rivets, hence the negative result. Vibrations are constantly acting on the body, so the installation simply “falls apart”, breaks appear in the chain. Repair in this case is the soldering of the rivets and a thorough cleaning of the contacts.

After soldering is completed, the dashboard can be returned to its place. If you have free time, you can go through the sandpaper on the contacts. On older cars, they usually oxidize, which can prevent the instruments from functioning properly.

You can see how to remove the dashboard in the video below.

All control onboard devices of cars, representatives of the "family" VAZ 2110, are combined into a combination (system) of devices. The instrument panel includes the following components: electronic tachometer and speedometer, temperature gauge for coolant, fuel level and control lamps (which are present in the amount of 12 pieces).

The entire instrument cluster is attached to the corresponding socket on the instrument panel with two screws. The connections of the VAZ 2110 dashboard are made by printed wiring on a board using a foil getinaks. The board is securely fastened to the back of the case. The speedometer has two counters that show the distance traveled: the first of them is the final one, the second can be called "daily".

The readings of the second counter, if necessary, can be reset to zero using the corresponding button. You can reset readings only when the car is in a standing state. Some cars from the VAZ 2110 model range can be installed containing all the components and the necessary control indicators, lamps and icons.

General information about the car

VAZ-2110 is a passenger front-wheel drive vehicle in which the power unit is located in a transverse state. The car is intended for operation on the roads "equipped" with a hard surface. The body of the car is all-metal, four-door, load-bearing, type - sedan. In order to transport long and bulky cargo, the seats in the rear of the cabin can be folded.

Thus, the volume of the trunk increases. Engines - carbureted or with different fuel injection systems - consist of four cylinders. Volume - 1.5 liters. The model has significantly improved handling characteristics when compared with rear-wheel drive VAZs, thanks to the front-wheel drive layout.

This is especially noticeable on unsafe, slippery roads or during difficult turns. An automobile is possible, with electric heated seats, practical electric windows, a modern on-board computer, a useful catalytic converter for gases that have “worked out” in the exhaust system, as well as electric exterior mirrors that provide a rear view.

Also, the car can be secured with an airbag, supplemented with air conditioning, an anti-lock brake system, and provided with lighting using a sunroof.

The display unit of the automotive control system model VAZ 2110

The display unit of the VAZ 2110 machine contains a detailed electronic control circuit, supplemented by an audible signaling device, as well as ten LED signaling devices that inform the driver about the following conditions:

• insufficient oil level;
• lack of coolant;
• insufficiency of washer fluid;
• possible malfunction of external lighting lamps;
• the state when the seat belts are not fastened;
• wear of the brake pads that the front brakes are equipped with;
• four alarms per door.

A detailed diagram of the display unit of the VAZ 2110 automotive control system is shown below.

Tuning dashboard VAZ 2110

The boring and nondescript factory instrument panel of the VAZ 2110 quickly gets bored, but you don’t want to buy an alternative one equipped with a computer, because you have to pay a lot of money for it. The process of finalizing the "socket" is a popular topic. One of the easiest options is to buy a special lining. Finding it today is no problem.

To install it, you must remove the entire instrument panel. Next, carefully pull the arrows out of it. When setting the arrows in their places, you need to make sure that nothing interferes with the movement of vehicles and does not distract the driver, otherwise, everything should be disassembled again. Properly selected, beautiful and stylish overlay will harmoniously fit into the overall atmosphere of the cabin and perfectly complement its entire design.

Also today it is not at all a problem to make dashboards with your own hands. You just need to have the necessary material and the "carriage" of desire. The easiest option is to do the tuning of the "tidy" in several stages. First, of course, be sure to remove it. Next, you should change the incandescent bulbs to LEDs. They should be installed in the same cartridges. There are several ways to change its color:

Change the color of one meter. If you use a knife to clean one meter of glue, turn it over and put it back, then the dial illumination will turn from green to blue;

Illumination of the instrument panel VAZ 2110. Change the color using the LED strip. First you need to scrape off the color filter layer with a knife. If something remains, you can wipe it off with a solvent. Next, a green LED strip should be fixed inside the “tidy”. You need to connect it directly to the bulb holder. If you remove the red paint from the arrows, and then paint it with white varnish, which is used for applying to nails, you can get a bright green illumination of the “tidy”;

Automatic backlight change. The change of seven different colors occurs through the use of electronics that control the car.

Dashboard repair

Don't know how to remove the instrument panel VAZ 2110? To do this, you need to take the following steps:

• disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery;
• unscrew the screws and remove the shield;
• unscrew the fastening screws that secure the instrument cluster to the trim and, pulling it towards you, remove the instrument cluster from the socket;
• disconnect the wiring harness from the "device".

Installation must be carried out in the exact reverse order of the removal process. For disassembly, unscrew the fastening screws and disconnect the mask with glass from the instrument cluster housing. It is necessary to unscrew the screws and nuts securing the pointer and remove them from the housing. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order of removal.

There is also a modern way to style your own car according to the trends of the 21st century. When the old "panel" gets a little bored, the idea comes to buy and install a newer euro panel, which looks very elegant and beautiful. Many will agree that the car will then become much more solid.

Its only drawback is this nuance: in order to remove the old instrument panel, you need to remove the trim. As a result, at the assembly stage it is better to replace the light bulbs that are with much better ones (Philips, Osram and others). This will help you forget about replacing them for a long period. You will definitely find more useful information by reading our other articles.

Very often, VAZ owners decide to change the color scheme of the dashboard. Firstly, because it does not require special knowledge and skills, and secondly, it does not require large investments. In this article, we will look at several ways to tune the dashboard. We will make improvements on the tidy VAZ 2110 of the old type. But this does not mean that these improvements cannot be made on the dashboard of a new sample. Everything is done in the same way.

LEDs in the instrument panel.

The very first and easiest way to tune the VAZ 2110 dashboard is to replace the standard bulbs with LEDs that you can buy at any car shop. We remove the dashboard of the VAZ 2110 and take out the incandescent bulbs from the cartridges and insert the LEDs in their place. Diodes are better to take just white. When you place them, they will give off a little blue. Honestly, it looks more effective than the native yellowish backlight. There is really one drawback here, the brightness of the backlight will no longer be regulated.

Changing the color of the odometer.

The standard color of the odometer does not inspire confidence, it is some kind of green, like the screen of a calculator. But it's easy to fix. You just need to remove it and carefully peel off the film from its screen (it is better to pry it off with a clerical knife). Everything on this odometer color change is over. We can put it back. But the photo shows how he began to show white numbers on a dark blue screen.

LED strip in the dashboard.

We remove the “dial” itself and wipe off the color filter on the numbers on the reverse side.

You can also clear the arrows of the red color, as we did. Coated them with white varnish.

Now we connect the LED strip. It can be thrown directly to the standard backlight cartridge. In our case, we took a strip with green LEDs. Also, red and blue do not look bad, here it’s an amateur.

By the way, it does not blind at night. And in the daytime everything is clearly visible!

Two dash lights.

It is possible to implement two methods of backlighting the dashboard at the same time. In our case, when the side lights are turned on, the blue backlight of the dashboard lights up, if the brightness is reduced through the rheostat, then only the standard one will remain. How to achieve this, see the photo:

You can also make up to 7 kinds of different backlight combinations, but this is no longer so simple. Here you need control electronics.
