The dashboard of a car is visual information about the most important parameters and characteristics, the state of systems and components of a car. We offer a detailed description of the instrument panel sensors on the Daewoo Nexia, which will help the owner notice the malfunction in time and promptly eliminate it.
The Daewoo Nexia dashboard is quite informative and intuitive.
- Tachometer. The instrument readings indicate the engine speed (rpm = rpm x 1000) with the engine running. When driving, you should pay attention to the tachometer readings for the correct gear selection (when the arrow approaches the red sector, it is recommended to switch to a higher gear). The readings are also used for adjustments, both while driving and at idle. A tachometer helps extend engine life.
- turn signals. The left or right arrow indicates the included turn in the corresponding direction. Both arrows illuminated at the same time indicate that the alarm is on.
- Coolant temperature indicator.
- Fuel tank fill indicator.
- An indicator that indicates that the seat belt is not fastened.
- High beam on.
- Fuel supply in the tank.
- The indicator is on if one of the doors is not closed.
- A button on the speedometer that allows you to reset the daily mileage.
- An odometer that records the total mileage of a car.
- A speedometer that displays the speed when the car is moving.
- An indicator that signals the discharge of the battery or the failure of the generator unit.
- Engine oil pressure indicator.
- An indicator that indicates that the handbrake is applied. When the handbrake is off, it is responsible for the level of brake fluid in the system.
- An icon that indicates some kind of engine malfunction.
- Fluid level indicator in the windshield washer reservoir.
It would seem that everything is clear, and if one of the indicators responsible for the operation of the units or the level of liquids is on, measures must be taken. However, first you need to know for sure that the dashboard itself is working.
Dashboard malfunctions
It is necessary to monitor the health of the dashboard, because. It is on it that all the main useful information is displayed. Rarely, but breakdowns occur, which can be conditionally divided into categories:
- Mechanical. They are associated with direct impact and may result in failure of fasteners, latches, blocks, connectors, plugs, chafing or breaking of wires.
- Electrical. This type includes a breakdown of any device (speedometer, tachometer, etc.), failure of the board. But the most common electrical malfunction is a broken backlight, which is usually caused by burnt out light bulbs.
To replace a faulty light bulb in the dashboard, it is not at all necessary to contact specialists; every Daewoo Nexia car owner is able to do this.
Description of replacing a light bulb in the Daewoo Nexia dashboard
The procedure is quite painstaking and requires accuracy, but does not contain any complex manipulations. It will take patience and a set of screwdrivers, after which you can proceed. We act in stages.
- First you need to dismantle the deflectors (central and driver). To do this, we lower each of them down as far as possible and, holding the upper edge, press, applying a little effort. After clicking, remove the deflector. In the body of each deflector, we unscrew two self-tapping screws with a Phillips screwdriver (upper and lower, lower - under the plug), remove the case.
- On the casing of the steering column we find and unscrew the two bolts, after which we carefully pull out the casing.
- We find two bolts that fix the lining of the control panel from above and unscrew them, after which we remove the lining towards ourselves.
- We disconnect all the plugs connected to the panel elements (emergency gang, rear fog lights, rear window heating, dimmer, clock, etc.). To remove the lining as carefully as possible, pull the left deflector housing to the left, and the lining to the right until it snaps off. At the removed lining on the reverse side, you can check how tightly the screws are tightened and tighten them (later this will save you from squeaks and extraneous sounds when the car is moving).
- The dashboard is held on the bracket with one screw in the upper part, we unscrew it with a Phillips screwdriver. We tilt the panel towards us and disconnect the two pads with wiring harnesses.
- On the reverse side of the panel are cartridges with lamps. To replace a burned out one, turn the cartridge in the socket counterclockwise and remove it along with the lamp. We remove the filter from the lamp and change the lamp (if desired, you can replace the dashboard backlight with the one that matches your preferences).
- We assemble in the reverse order.
Now you know how to change the bulbs in the dashboard yourself. We hope this material was useful to you. Subscribe to blog updates, and many
On Daewoo Nexia cars, depending on the design of the gas distribution mechanism, you can find two types of dashboards. On the Daewoo Nexia of the early years of production (until 2008), on which they installed engines with one camshaft and two valves per cylinder (SOHC), they installed an instrument panel with catalog number 96914473 (another marking of this panel is E3020021). And on Daewoo Nexia, which began to be produced after 2008, with engines having two camshafts and four valves per cylinder (DOHC), the instrument panel became electronic. Its catalog number is 96914474 (another marking of this shield is E3020051).
Considering that six years have passed since the modernization of the Daewoo Nexia, most of these cars have an electronic instrument panel. But in terms of landing parameters, the old and new instrument panels are interchangeable. And if one of the owners of Daewoo Nexia cars decides, for any reason, to replace the old panel with a new electronic one. That such a replacement is possible. You just have to connect the tachometer yourself and remove the speedometer cable.
If, unexpectedly for the driver, the instrument panel has ceased to perform its function, then first of all you will have to check the state of the twenty-amp fuse F13. It has a yellow color and is located in the mounting block of the N150 model, far left in the bottom row. The mounting blocks of the old model N100 have the same electrical circuit switching with the N150 models, and differ only in the way the cover is opened.
Blown fuse F13 will lead to failure of the instrument panel, but a possible cause of its failure may be a short circuit not only in this electrical circuit. Since, in addition to the instrument panel, it also protects the electrical circuits of the reversing light lamp, the switch and relay for the electric heating of the rear window, the warning buzzer of an unfastened seat belt, the generator, the cigarette lighter and the clock.
Therefore, searching for a short circuit location can take a long time, because you will have to sequentially ring these electrical circuits until we find this malfunction. Short circuits in electrical circuits are possible due to the aging of the wire insulation, which bursts and gradually crumbles in severe frost, which leads to contact of the wires exposed in this way. But the electricians of service stations do not want to get involved with malfunctions related to the dashboard itself, considering this electronic instrument panel to be unrepairable.
Depending on the year of manufacture of the vehicle, the control devices may differ in appearance and location of the control lamps.
All gauges and control lamps on the instrument panel (except for the control lamps for opening doors and high beam headlights) work only when the ignition is on (ON position of the ignition key).
– instrument panel of cars produced before 2008
(without tachometer)
1 - tachometer. Shows the current engine speed. The red zone of the scale indicates the engine operating mode with an unacceptably high crankshaft speed. It is forbidden to exceed the maximum permitted engine speed (6 500 min - 1).
2 - control lamp for turning on the direction indicator.
3 - coolant temperature gauge.
The red sector of the temperature gauge - engine overheating. Do not operate the engine above operating temperature.
5 - warning lamp for an unfastened seat belt. Lights up when the ignition is switched on with a warning signal for a few seconds.
6 - control lamp for switching on the high beam headlights.
7 - control lamp of the reserve balance of fuel in the tank. Illuminates when there is approximately 7.5 liters of fuel left in the vehicle's fuel tank.
8 - control lamp of an open or loosely closed door.
9 - button for resetting the daily mileage counter. Pressing the button resets the counter. You can reset the counter only when the vehicle is stationary.

12 - speedometer.
13 - battery charge control lamp. Lights up when the ignition is turned on and goes out after the engine is started. If the warning lamp stays on or lights up while the engine is running, this indicates that the battery is not charged (p. 81, "Possible vehicle malfunctions and their causes").
14 - emergency oil pressure warning lamp. Lights up when the ignition is turned on and goes out after the engine is started. If the lamp continues to burn or lights up while the engine is running, this indicates a lack of the necessary oil pressure in the engine lubrication system. Stop the engine and eliminate the cause of the failure to avoid engine failure (p. 88, "Lubrication system - oil pressure check").
15 - control lamp for turning on the parking brake and malfunctioning of the brake system. Lights up when the ignition is turned on and goes out after the engine is started. If the control lamp lights up while driving, this indicates a malfunction in the service brake system or a drop in the level of brake fluid in the reservoir. Also lights up when the parking brake is applied.
WARNING!
The operation of a vehicle with a faulty brake system is prohibited.
Until the engine temperature reaches the middle of the white sector according to the indicator, avoid increasing the crankshaft speed above 3000-4000 min-1 and do not press the gas pedal more than half of its travel. Warming up the engine to operating temperature in this mode will allow you to extend its service life.
Try not to operate the car with a fuel tank filled less than 1/4, as this threatens to overheat the electric fuel pump and quickly fail.
16 - control lamp for a malfunction of the engine management system. Lights up when the ignition is turned on and goes out after the engine is started. If the control lamp lights up while the engine is running, this indicates a malfunction in the engine management system. Vehicle operation is possible, but is accompanied by a deterioration in efficiency and a decrease in dynamic performance. At the first opportunity, it is necessary to diagnose the engine management system at a specialized service station. Momentary illumination of the lamp is normal and does not indicate a malfunction of the system.
17 - control lamp for low fluid level in the washer reservoir.
18 - control lamp for anti-lock braking system (for vehicles with ABS). When the ignition is turned on, it lights up for a few seconds. If the lamp lights up while driving, it means that there is a malfunction in the system, for the diagnosis of which special equipment is required - contact a specialized service station.

On some batches of cars there is an option to automatically turn off the heated rear window after a certain period of time.
6. Left stalk lever. Serves to control the exterior lighting of the car and turn on the direction indicators. The outdoor lighting is turned on by turning the switch located at the end of the lever. The rotary switch has 3 fixed positions:
1 - "OFF" - outdoor lighting is off;
2 - parking lights are on (at the same time, the license plate lights and instrument panel lighting are automatically turned on);
3 - headlights are on (lights that are switched on in position 2 remain on).
To switch the high and low beam headlights, it is necessary to move the lever along the axis of the steering column (towards and away from you). In this direction, the left stalk has two fixed and one non-fixed positions.
In the upper fixed position (closer to the steering wheel), the dipped headlights are on.
In the lower fixed position, the main beam of the headlights is on (the inclusion of this mode is indicated by the blue indicator light on the instrument panel).
The uppermost (non-fixed) position of the lever is used to give a light signal with the high beam headlights. High beam signaling can be done regardless of the position of the rotary switch and the position of the key in the ignition lock.
The same lever turns on the direction indicators. To do this, move the lever in the direction of rotation of the steering wheel. In this plane, the lever has 3 fixed positions.
In the center position, the direction indicators in both directions are off.
When the lever is moved clockwise, the right direction indicators turn on.
When the lever is moved counterclockwise, the left direction indicators turn on.
When you turn on the direction indicators on the instrument panel, green indicator lights in the form of arrows (left or right) turn on. When the steering wheel is returned to its original position after a turn, the lever automatically returns to the center position and the turned indicators turn off.

14. Button for turning on the air recirculation mode. When this mode is enabled, the control lamp on the button lights up. The cabin ventilation system stops supplying outside air to the cabin and repeatedly circulates air taken from the cabin through the heating or air conditioning system. This mode is mainly used for quick heating, or vice versa, for quick cooling of the interior air. The recirculation mode can be turned on to prevent the entry of polluted outside air into the passenger compartment, of course, the car windows must be closed.
Warning
It is recommended to turn on the air recirculation mode only for a short time. Prolonged use of this mode leads to a significant increase in humidity in the cabin, which results in fogging of the windows and poor visibility of the road.
15. Clock. On the clock panel there are 4 functional clock control buttons:
"H" - changes the readings of the hour indicator.
"M" - changes the readings of the minute indicator.
"S" - corrects the clock readings in accordance with the exact time signals. When you press this button, the minutes value is reset to zero, regardless of whether the clock is in a hurry or vice versa.

Warning
To avoid damage to the vehicle's braking system, never start driving unless the parking brake lever is fully down.
22. Air flow direction switch. This switch sets through which ventilation grilles the air that has passed through the air conditioner will be blown into the passenger compartment. The switch has 4 fixed positions:
Top level mode. In this position, air enters the passenger compartment only through the central and side ventilation grilles located on the front panel of the passenger compartment;
The mode of simultaneous inclusion of the upper and lower levels. In this switch position, climate-conditioned air is simultaneously supplied through the upper level ventilation grilles and through the lower air ducts to the feet of the driver and passenger in the front seat, as well as to the feet of passengers in the rear seat.
The low level mode is set when it is necessary to direct most of the forced air to the feet of the driver and passengers.
Windshield blower mode. This mode is used to quickly defog the windshield. When this mode is turned on, all air is supplied to the windshield and through the side window grilles (2) to the door windows.
Comment:
To more quickly eliminate fogging of the windshield simultaneously with this mode, use the temperature controller for the air entering the passenger compartment (19) to set the maximum temperature of the forced air, and set the fan speed controller of the interior ventilation system (26) to position 4 - maximum speed.
