The dashboard does not light up when the ignition is turned on

Frequent problems with fuses were observed in the first generations of models; later engineers eliminated the defects.

Where is the power supply located: in the Lada Granta, as in previous VAZs, the mounting block is installed to the left of the steering column. The additional block is to the right of the battery, there are power fuses (hereinafter referred to as modules). The back side of the cover with a description of the pinout of each module (see photo).

In case of failure, it is not difficult to replace faulty modules with new ones, but be careful not to violate the installation technology. Otherwise, you risk damaging the equipment.

Instrument cluster display does not show data periodically

Good afternoon Problem with the display on the Lada Granta instrument panel. Sometimes it stops displaying information about vehicle performance. The display itself is fine. It helps if you disconnect the battery terminal, or simply stop the power supply to the instrument panel (by removing fuse F34). The most interesting thing is that if you do nothing, then in a day or two, the display can start working on its own and start showing everything. Share your thoughts on where to start looking for a solution to the problem. Since this behavior in his work is a little confusing. Thank you in advance))

Turning on the instrument panel lighting with the ignition

New instrument cluster

Another option, more humane in relation to wiring. When the ignition is turned on, the lights will not spontaneously light up, therefore, when the lights are turned on, the ignition will light up.

Old style instrument cluster

For old-style tidy, we perform similar steps, taking into account that:

• Pin 18 of the new tidy is pin 4 of the red block of the old tidy.
• 21 contacts – 10 contacts of the white block.

The diagram and explanation of the block panels (old and new type) are here. By the way, the instrument panel lighting is easy to modify (old model, new).

General information

In all modern cars, including the Lada Granta, when the ignition is turned on, the engine warning light comes on, as well as sensors of other systems. If your vehicle is in perfect order, the Check Engine light will go out a few seconds after the engine starts. But, if the engine warning light remains on, you have a serious reason to seek help from a car mechanic.

The appearance of a Check Engine indicator on the instrument panel can say a lot. Next, we will try to analyze the main reasons why the engine warning light on the Lada Granta comes on and what the driver should do in this case!

The main reasons for the appearance of “Jackie Chan” (Check Engine)

The check engine light comes on when one or more vehicle systems are not working properly. In this case, the engine management system sounds an alarm and sends you a signal in the form of this icon.

In some cases, simply resetting the battery terminal helps. In this case, most likely low-quality gasoline was poured in and misfire occurred, or increased detonation, etc.

Low fuel quality

The quality of gasoline in the Russian Federation leaves much to be desired

Among the common reasons for the activation of the engine warning light is refueling the car with low-quality gasoline. In this case, you may need to drain the old gasoline.

Each engine is designed for a specific brand of fuel - A92, A95, etc., which have a certain octane number. If this indicator does not correspond to reality, that is, the octane number of the filled gasoline is below normal, a destructive phenomenon such as detonation may occur during engine operation. According to the requirements of the manufacturer, only 95 gasoline must be used in Lada Granta.

To prevent possible problems, the electronic engine control unit displays a “Check Engine” signal on the instrument panel. Those. in this case, the indication serves as a kind of insurance.

Also pay attention to how the car drives. On low-quality fuel, it will begin to suffocate, start to stall and stall at idle, fuel consumption should increase (read more about fuel consumption standards for the Lada Granta).

The solution to this problem is extremely simple - drain the low-quality gasoline and fill the car with another fuel. After the fuel pump starts pumping in new, higher quality gasoline, the Check Engine indicator will go out.

Problems with the fuel pump or fuel filters

The engine warning light may come on as a result of problems with the fuel pump.

Once again, the reason is indirectly related to gasoline. But, this time the engine warning light may come on as a result of problems with the fuel pump or clogged fuel filters. At the same time, in addition to the constant lighting of the engine indicator, starting the engine becomes more difficult. Finally, a clear sign will be “floating speed” and “dips” when pressing the accelerator pedal.

It is not difficult to make sure that the problem is related to the fuel pump - just check the fuel supply pressure. As a rule, a pressure of 3 atmospheres is considered normal. If the pressure is lower and the filter is clean, the fuel pump will need to be replaced.

If the fuel filter is clogged, replace it. Read more about replacing the fuel filter here.

Dirty fuel injectors

Clogged fuel injectors = improper mixture formation

The next problem is related to the injectors through which fuel is supplied to the engine cylinders. Considering the quality of domestic gasoline, it is not surprising that injectors quickly become clogged with various elements contained in gasoline. As a result, improper mixture formation occurs in the engine cylinders.

The electronics detect the problem of a constantly lean fuel mixture and send a signal to the driver in the form of an illuminated Check Engine.

The way out of the problem in this situation is simple - the injectors need to be cleaned. But we recommend that this task be carried out at specialized service stations, where all the necessary equipment is available. In “garage” conditions, you will not achieve a good result, but will only permanently damage the injectors.

Oxygen sensor problem

On injection engines, regardless of its volume and number of valves (more about the engines that are installed on the Grant here), there is a large number of different sensors:

1. crankshaft position sensor,
2. oil pressure sensor, engine temperature,
3. finally, the oxygen sensor.

It is precisely the last one among all those listed that is the most vulnerable point not only in VAZ cars, but also in foreign cars. Due to a malfunction of the oxygen sensor (or, as it is also called, a lambda probe), the engine warning light may light up on the instrument panel.

Basic functions of the device

On-board vehicles for the Lada Granta have high information memory and a small monitor, except for the “State” model, which only has a digital display. This makes it easier for people with poor eyesight and those who are unfamiliar with the nuances of engine operation to monitor all the processes that accompany its stable operation. BC will help the car owner by pointing out the following parameters:

• total travel time;
• detailed fuel consumption at different speeds;
• average speed indicators and excessive fuel consumption;
• remaining fuel in the gas tank;
• speed of start of movement;
• engine temperature;
• malfunctions of components and mechanisms;
• temperature inside and outside the car;
• on-board network voltage;
• crankshaft rotation speed (engine speed).

The on-board computer has a volatile memory and the ability to control the anti-theft system - the Lada Granta immobilizer. The on-board vehicle has a built-in supervisor, a fault indicator, and a “afterburner” function - the ability to reset the memory after starting the engine.

The functionality of even the simplest on-board computer is much broader than the standard one installed on the Grant. The discrepancy between the readings of the factory and alternative devices can reach more than 30%.

Some on-board drivers can additionally control lighting, stove operation, clock, calendar and alarm clock, and automatic window closers. You can plan your trip route based on the BC readings. It also allows you to use various navigation installation options and can warn you about low fuel levels or exceeding the permissible speed limit.

Most devices allow you to independently diagnose the operation of different car systems. The device can read ECU error codes without using any equipment. The explanation is presented in the accompanying documentation for each device. Such functionality will allow you not only to save on a trip to a specialized center, but also to identify problems, preventing serious malfunctions from occurring.

Relay block Lada Granta

The relays are located in the same fuse and relay box, which is located to the left of the steering column under the cover.

K1 - heater fan relay

K2 - power window relay . If they do not work, also check fuse F2; if this does not help, then the problem may be in the control unit.

K3 - starter relay . If it does not work (does not turn) and this relay is working, check the battery charge level. It could also be a problem with the retractor or the ignition switch and its contacts.

K4 - ignition switch terminal 15 relay

K5 - turn signal and hazard warning relay . If the turn signals come on and do not turn off, this relay may be shorted. Also check fuse F3 (emergency mode).

K6 - windshield wiper relay . Check also fuse F4.

K7 - high beam relay . Also check fuses F14 and F15 and the lamps themselves.

K8 - horn relay . Also check fuse F20, signal switch contacts on the steering wheel.

K9 - low beam relay . Also check fuses F12 and F13 and the lamps themselves.

K10 - rear window heating relay . If the heating does not work, the problem may be in fuse F8.

K11 - engine control unit relay . Also check fuse F1.

K12 - electric fuel pump relay . Also check fuse F21.

Power fuses

An additional block of power modules is located in the engine compartment, under the hood, behind the battery and expansion tank. It accommodates the following five modules:

• F (F-1) / 50A: electric power steering (EPS). Connected to fuse F32;
• F (F-2) / 30A: stove heater cooler (in the cabin);
• F (F-3) / 60A: generator;
• F (F-4) / 60A: generator contact board;
• F (F-5) / 30A: low beam. Connected to fuses F12, F13.

How to reset an error on Grant

There are three ways to get rid of the “Check Engine” icon:

1. Fix the problem;
2. Reset using OBD2 adapter;
3. Reset without adapter manually.

We use OBD2 adapter

Do you have a high-quality diagnostic adapter and the necessary software on hand? Then resetting will not be difficult. What to do if there is no program or diagnostic scanner?

The easiest way out is to buy a scanner from China. Price – 200-300 rubles. The main condition: read reviews about compatibility. Whether he reads your car or not is a lottery.

Once you have the scanner, insert it into the OBD connector to the left of the glove compartment.

The connector is located in an easily accessible location to the left of the glove compartment lid.

• Download Torque Lite program - free version, basic functions work;
• We start the car so that power goes to the adapter and error data appears;
• We turn on Bluetooth on the phone, add a new device (the adapter will be detected as OBDII);
• Open the Torque program - at the top of the screen there will be messages like Waiting for connection, Checking the CAN protocol, Connected successfully;
• Open the settings – Fault Codes – Show logged faults.

The saved codes will appear on the screen. There, using Clear logged faults, you can reset all errors and the “check” will go out. Not forever - until the problem appears again.

Open settings – Error codes – Show saved ones.

An option close to a scanner is installing an on-board computer . BC:

• Determines the error;
• Will show its code and decryption;
• It will help you reset.

How to remove a check without an adapter

Everything is simpler here. When you don’t have OBD or a phone with software at hand, you just need to disconnect the terminal from the battery.

which terminal to remove . De-energize the car for 5-7 minutes and all errors should disappear.

How does ABS work?

The electronics regulate the brake force on all wheels, preventing them from locking when braking, but allowing the car to stop quickly. By braking sharply, the car will not lose stability.

If the system is out of order, or it is not installed on the car at all, then the wheels will lock during sudden braking. A strong skid may occur, especially in winter, or when turning. If the ABS is working properly, this will not happen. Even when turning, you can press the brake pedal sharply - there will be no skidding.

If the ABS light is on, the reason is a system malfunction. This is easy to check - accelerate to a speed of 40 km per hour and sharply press the brake pedal to the floor. If there is no pedal vibration and the wheels are skidding, then the ABS is not working.

If the system is working properly, you can sharply press the brakes and try to go around the obstacle. In this case, no skidding will occur. If the anti-lock braking system fails, the car will skid and hit this obstacle.

How to determine that the DS is faulty

The principle of operation of the speed sensor is as follows: there is a certain mark on the gear wheel that generates an impulse using the DS when the wheel rotates. The speed of the vehicle is determined based on the frequency of the received pulses. As the frequency increases, the speed of the machine increases. The signal from the speed sensor, as well as from many others, is output to.

The fact that the DS on the Lada Granta is located low indicates that it is strongly exposed to water, sand and dirt. This is the main reason for its failure. The following symptoms indicate that the sensor responsible for the speed of the Lada Granta car is faulty:

• the speedometer needle is at zero while driving or does not always work;
• unstable idling;
• The speedometer readings do not correspond to reality;
• fuel consumption increases;
• engine thrust decreases.

Please note that unstable engine idle speed and an increase may also be due to a malfunction of the Lada Granta oxygen sensor, which consists of two devices: a control catenary collector located in the upper part, and a diagnostic one installed in the catenary collector behind the converter. They operate on the same principle and are interchangeable. The control oxygen sensor monitors the adjustment of the composition of the air mixture supplied to the injectors. The diagnostic oxygen sensor signals the presence of oxygen in the exhaust gases after the converter.

Possible faults

If everything is clear with the description, then let’s move on to the malfunctions. Like any other electronic unit, Granta instrument panel

is also susceptible to various malfunctions.

What kind of breakdowns can occur in the operation of the control panel:

• The tidy is broken. If the shield fails, there can be quite a lot of symptoms. For example, only some or all of the devices will refuse to work. If this is the case, then the problem in this case may lie either in the power supply of the device or in its board. It is better to entrust repair problems to specialists.
• The tidy is glitchy. For example, all doors are closed and the unlocked door indicator is on, or the optics are not turned on, but the corresponding light on the dashboard is flashing. As a rule, in this case the problem lies precisely in the board (of course, if the sensors are working). If the problem is in the board, then flashing the dashboard firmware can solve it, but this option does not always help. It is possible that the electrical equipment lights are on on the dashboard due to a faulty sensor, so it would be a good idea to check its functionality.
• All devices work, but there is no backlight. If all the backlight bulbs do not work at once, then most likely the problem lies in a blown fuse or a damaged wire or connector. Checking the wiring is done using a multimeter.
• Only part of the light bulbs or one of them does not work. In this case, the malfunction consists of a burnt-out lamp; to eliminate it, the instrument panel in the Lada Granta is dismantled, after which the burnt-out lamps in it are replaced.
• The equipment indicator on the dashboard does not turn on. For example, you turn on the high beams, but the corresponding light does not light up. This may be due either to a failure of the indicator itself (the lamp is changed in the same way), or to a breakdown of the sensor. It is quite possible that there is poor contact between the light bulb and the wiring.
• Speedometer failure. The cause of the malfunction may lie in the board or speed sensor installed on the device. The situation is similar with sensors - fuel level, engine temperature. If they do not work or show incorrect values, then the problem should be looked for in the controllers themselves, wiring or board. It is possible that the devices are not working simply due to poor contact.

Where is the speed sensor on the Lada Granta: photo and price

Car: Lada Granta. Engine: 21116. Asked by: Damir.

Yesterday I came home, started climbing onto the curb and slightly hit the bottom of the car. And then it started. The speedometer needle began to dance, at first it seemed to me that it was even accompanied by music. Then it twitched at zero, twitched to 200, and fell again. No errors occurred; the engine warning light did not light up on the instrument panel.

She didn't get up again. I drove around the yard, looked smartly under the hood, and screwed in all the chips I saw. Did not help.

Knowledgeable people said that the speed sensor was broken, quite logical, but where is it located? I went to a car store to buy a new one to check, the store is good, they accept returns if there was no loss of presentation. And the seller told me that when the speed sensor breaks down, the electric power steering also doesn’t work, but for me it works.

Speed ​​sensor location

The following two tabs change content below. An expert on Lada cars with many years of experience. I own a Lada Granta car, I collect cramps based on the Priora. Sometimes I stay overnight in the garage. My wife is more jealous of cars than of women.

The speed sensor on the Lada Granta is located between the BDZ (throttle valve unit) and the brake fluid reservoir.

Replacing the speed sensor

1. The sensor can be removed by removing the air filter and inlet pipe. Remove the pipe and move the air filter housing to the side
2. The sensor is secured with a nut, which can be easily unscrewed with a regular 10 mm wrench.
3. Unscrew the nut, disconnect the chip, and remove the speed sensor. Nut 10 and the chip is removed

After you have removed the sensor, clean it; debris may have gotten on it. Since its body consists of a magnet, it could become clogged when it hits a curb.

New and old speed sensor

However, this is unlikely; most likely it has failed and requires replacement. But if there was dirt on it, then there is a chance that it is working. Put it back, connect the chip and test drive it to check.

Electric power steering failure due to speed sensor failure

Indeed, if the speed sensor breaks down, the electric power steering in some cars fails, and error P-0501 (Vehicle speed sensor signal outside the permissible range) should appear on the instrument panel. That's why the steering wheel refuses, so that the car understands that the sensor is broken. In your case, the nature of the failure said that the sensor shows zero speed.

Advice from car enthusiasts and advice from professionals

There may be a break in the backlight brightness adjustment circuit. The adjustment rheostat has a soldered spring - it tends to fall off. You can simply put a jumper, that is, bypass the rheostat, then the brightness will not be adjusted, or solder it back - you will need to remove the rheostat.

It’s better to immediately install LED lighting bulbs for the instruments, they are not much more expensive, but on a cloudy day or when the sun sets, the instruments are readable with a bang. Moreover, no modifications are needed, the base fits...

You can create everything yourself, everyone basically does it, nothing complicated, the main thing is to unscrew everything, don’t break it, disconnect the connector. And check the bulbs to see if they are all intact, check the contacts. Maybe some light bulbs have burned out and it seems that the light is worse.

I also had this problem. The backlight inexplicably disappeared, then turned on again. It's all about the cigarette lighter illumination. The contact shorts and the brains turn off the backlight. I unscrewed the cover under the gearshift lever (Checkpoint - a point designed to control passage (visit) and access to the territory of any facility)

and wrapped the wires near the cigarette lighter with electrical tape. All OK.

There's a spinner there. Adjusting the brightness of the shield. You need to twist it, it won’t help, or change it, or remove it completely and create it directly.

If the instrument lighting on the Lada Kalina does not glow, then it is not permissible to delay the task. This needs to be done as soon as possible. Almost always, it will take a maximum of 30–50 minutes to resolve the problem that appears.

Designation of icons on the Lada Granta instrument panel

The dashboard diagram shows all the icons, sensors and indicators responsible for the operation of the car. Limited quantity - 39 pieces, does not clutter the instrument cluster. At the same time, the dashboard is very informative.

Designation on the Lada Granta instrument panel:

1. Tachometer - designed to display the number of revolutions of the internal combustion engine. The area highlighted in red indicates a dangerous situation in the motor load.
2. Sensor of a faulty motor control module. The lamp lights up (orange) when the ignition is turned on. After the engine starts, the indicator goes out. If it is constantly burning, it is worth checking the functionality of the elements of the entire motor control system.
3. Signal lamp for left turn signal on.
4. The engine oil pressure sensor is activated (red) when the ignition is turned on. When the required pressure is reached, the sensor goes out. A constantly active indicator (more than 5 s) shows problems with the pump, cylinder-piston system, and low oil level.
5. ABS system indicator light - if it does not go out after 2 seconds, then there are problems with the traction control system. Lights up when the ignition is on (orange).
6. Immobilizer indication lamp - standard anti-theft system. An orange light indicates the vehicle's security status.
7. The coolant temperature indicator is on for no more than 5 seconds after starting the engine (red lamp). A light that does not go out indicates a high refrigerant temperature (above 115 ℃). The motor may overheat. When the temperature drops below 110 ℃, the lamp will go out and the sound alarm will stop sounding.
8. The brake system emergency indicator turns off (red) after starting the engine. When the light is constantly on, it is worth checking the fluid level in the tank. The minimum mark indicates that it is necessary to add brake fluid to the container.
9. The right turn signal indicator light is green arrow.
10. Battery charge level indicator – turns on when the ignition is activated. The light goes out after starting the engine. If this indicator on the Lada Granta instrument panel is constantly lit, it means there is no charging current as a result of a faulty operation of the voltage regulator or generator. This option is possible if there is insufficient tension (break) of the generator belt.
11. Speedometer – displays the current speed of the car.
12. Stability sensor - lights up when the ignition is turned on. The indicator should go out after the engine starts running. But if it is constantly on, then the directional stability function is disabled. Flashes or lights up while driving – there is a malfunction in the system.
13. Gear shift indicator – signals the impossibility of upshifting.
14. The high beam light is on.
15. Indicator that the rear fog lights are on.
16. Low beam light.
17. Indicator that the front fog lights are on.
18. Daily mileage reset key – used to reset daily mileage or select modes for displaying daily or total vehicle mileage.
19. Route controller display – trip data, current time, mileage, air temperature and more are displayed. The difference may depend on the vehicle configuration.

The first line is the time, the second is the mileage. The third line displays the temperature outside the car or other options, the fourth line displays the fuel level.

1. The car door unlocked warning light is red.
2. Fuel level indicator – lights up when refueling is necessary. Ignoring the minimum fuel level may result in fuel pump failure.
3. The tire pressure indicator lights up when the ignition is activated and goes out after the engine starts. Lights up continuously when the parameter drops to the minimum safe value.
4. The warning lamp for a problem with the electric power steering informs about a malfunction in the unit.
5. The seat belt fixation sensor does not light up when the engine is running and the seat belt is fastened.
6. ICE performance indicator - lights up when the engine starts. If the sensor does not go out within a few seconds, this indicates the presence of damage in one of the motor components or elements of attachments.
7. The airbag sensor turns on when there is a malfunction.

What to do if the battery light is on - car diagnostics

Diagnostic systems in modern cars allow car owners to practically not worry about the quality of operation of the equipment. If certain problems occur, the corresponding lights on the dashboard light up. After such an incident, you need to immediately diagnose the machine, find out the reasons for the breakdown signal and fix the problem. There are quite a few diagnostic lamps today, and by the combinations of their illumination, you can determine which components should be checked in the event of a potential breakdown. If while driving or with the engine running, certain lights on the instrument panel in your car continue to light up

, you should check the corresponding nodes.

Immediately when the ignition is turned on, the instrument panel will turn on completely, all light bulbs will be checked so that the driver can identify failed illumination elements. After a few seconds of loading the on-board computer, most of the lights fade out, only the oil and battery indicator lights up. When the engine is running, these two lights should go out. All that remains is the parking brake engaged indicator, if it is, of course, on.
