Designation of icons on the dashboard of the VAZ 2115

The following describes the warning lights and panel indications, which are indicated and numbered in the photo above.

Which bulbs are suitable for the 2114th model

In general, the current legislation provides for quite serious sanctions against motorists who dare to make any changes to the design of the vehicle at their own discretion. In accordance with the rules, they are obliged to replace components and assemblies only with analogues of those chosen by the manufacturer. Failure to comply with this requirement provides grounds for punishment of the driver.

Thus, more and more owners are installing LED lamps on their 2114 Ladas instead of the standard halogen ones. This choice is easy to justify. In particular, they:

• consume approximately 8-9 times less electricity, which means the load on the on-board power system is reduced;
• last 5-10 times longer;
• give brighter light;
• practically do not heat up.

Finally, the dashboard looks much more attractive, because the light bulbs can be of different colors - blue, red, green, etc.

The problem is that LEDs cost about twice as much, but this disadvantage is more than compensated by their longer lifespan. In addition, LED lamps are becoming cheaper every year.

Tidy 2115: description and purpose of buttons and knobs

If everything is simple with the levers on the steering rack, there is a headlight position switch and a turn signal switch on the left. Buttons are more difficult.

1. Switch for outside parking lights.
2. Activation of low beam headlights.
3. Front fog lights.
4. Rear PTFs. If not installed, reserve.
5. Rear window heating button.

Lada 2115: the oil light on the center panel is on

If an icon in the shape of a watering can appears on the console, this indicates that there are problems in the engine lubrication system. This is caused by a drop in the oil level in the crankcase or a pump malfunction. If the engine is old, the problem may be caused by clogged oil lines.

What does the exclamation mark on the Lada 2115 tidy mean?

On the "tag" the symbol is used in only one form - a red indicator in a circle. The icon indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's brake system. If this symbol lights up while driving, stop and find the cause of the breakdown. Usually it is enough to add fluid to the expansion tank or replace worn pads.

The battery light on the dash is on 2115

A red battery icon indicates that the battery is not charging properly. A complete diagnosis of on-board systems associated with the generator set and its wiring is required.

How to check for errors on the device

The manufacturer has provided the ability for the driver to independently read faults without the presence of additional equipment.

To perform a self-diagnosis, you will need to follow a procedure.

1. Sit in the driver's seat, insert the ignition key and press and hold the daily mileage reset button.
2. Next, turn the ignition key in the lock, but do not start the engine.
3. Release the reset button. Now the on-board computer self-diagnosis process will begin. This is accompanied by the inclusion of all lights and devices.
4. Quickly press the mileage reset button again - this will display the version of the software used on the screen under the speedometer.
5. If you press the button again, error codes will be displayed on the same screen.

BUTTONS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

In the center of the dashboard there is a row of five buttons:

Buttons

The description of the VAZ 2114 instrument panel buttons is as follows:

1. Turning on/off side lights. When the lights are on, the light turns green;
2. Button to turn the headlights on and off;

1. Turn on/off the front fog lights. In order to turn on the fog lights, you must first turn on the side lights;
2. Turn on/off rear fog lights;
3. Turning on/off the heated glass on the tailgate fourteenth.

The tidy and on-board computer 2115 do not work: reason

The engine may not start, but auxiliary devices such as power windows or wipers may work.

If this happens, you should check the points.

1. Inspect all fuses for damage.
2. Check the power supply terminals of the on-board computer and instrument panel. Often the terminals become loose or oxidize, which leads to similar troubles.
3. If all the above-described elements are intact, you should remove the BC from the machine and check its functionality.

What is a dashboard?

The concept of “dashboard” is interpreted in different ways. Some argue that this is just an electronic panel with arrows, icons and scales. Others consider all the instruments on the dashboard to be a panel, on which a common cover is attached - the instrument panel, wiper arms, heater, air conditioner, ashtray, cup holder. The second option is the definition of “instrument cluster”.

The phrase “dashboard” implies a group of instruments that are combined by a common design.

The above designations are divided into control and measuring instruments and warning lamps. On the VAZ 2115, control and measuring devices are those devices that are indicated with scales and arrows. But in the simplified lexicon of motorists, the instrument panel (console) is usually called the entire part of the dashboard, which is covered by a cover on top and where any information is displayed, there are push-button and lever controls.

In this case, the main instrument panel refers to the instrument panel, which is located behind the steering wheel. The middle part, located above the gearshift lever, is in this case called the center console. And the levers and buttons for adjusting the lighting, cleaning the glass, and regulating the temperature are the controls. Everything is assembled - a VAZ 2115 instrument cluster.

The main instrument panel on the VAZ 2115 became one of the first VAZ panels of the modern VDO model.

Description of faults

How to decipher codes

If you do not know what the data displayed on the display means, then it is pointless to independently check the functionality of the sensors. Therefore, it is important to know how to decipher combinations. The following numbers appear most frequently:

1. If code 1 appears, then the fault lies in the microprocessor of the on-board unit itself. This error can be corrected by changing the computer software. It is important to use only official firmware, otherwise you will damage the entire electrical system of the car.
2. If the malfunction is hidden in the incorrect operation of the fuel sensor, then 2 will appear on the display. The same number means problems with the electrical wiring, especially if it is displayed in addition to 8.
3. When the voltage in the network is high, error 4 appears, and when voltage is low, error 8 appears. If you notice these data, then you need to check the generator and battery. VAZ-2115 owners most often encounter generator malfunctions. It will need to be repaired or completely replaced.
4. Malfunctions in the operation of the control lamp in the diagnostic circuit are displayed on the display in the form of a combination - 12.
5. Failure of the oxygen level sensor is displayed as error 13. Check the filters, most often they are the cause of this combination. Combinations 33 and 34 indicate mass air flow. In this case, you may need to replace the sensor itself. A malfunction of the controller itself is indicated by code 61 displayed on the display. Experts recommend that if one of these combinations occurs, a full check of the functionality of the vehicle components is carried out. Start with the electrical wiring.
6. Car enthusiasts often encounter combinations 14 and 15, which may appear along with an indicator indicating the need to add antifreeze. It is important to interpret this malfunction correctly - the appearance of this data on the display means that the temperature in the system is increased or decreased. The reason for this may be a malfunction of the thermostat. If the node is not damaged, then the problem most likely lies in the control unit.
7. Combinations 16 and 17 are output when the voltage in the on-board network is insufficient or too high. It is necessary to check all wiring for short circuits and breaks.
8. Code 19 occurs if the crankshaft position sensor does not respond correctly to the test. In this case, it is necessary to check the vehicle with an external device. If it shows a combination in the range from P0340 to P0343, then the breakdown may be hidden in the controller itself.
9. With error 24, the on-board computer stopped receiving data about the vehicle speed.

How much does a shield cost?

In 2022, you can find a tidy device from 1000 rubles. If you need to purchase a complete module with all the plastic and instruments, the purchase will cost approximately 8-10 thousand.

The standard dashboard of the Lada 2115 is informative and has a discreet design. The module is easy to read and intuitive even for novice drivers.

The structure of the instrument console of the VAZ 2115

The standard instrumentation of the VAZ 2115 is the same as on the 2113 and 2114 hatchbacks from the same Samara line. But the sedan body appeared earlier, simultaneously with the VAZ 2110. For the first time, AvtoVAZ began installing panels of a more modern type on cars of that time.

The shield is made according to the model of the manufacturer VDO. Its location is a torpedo, directly behind the steering wheel. It is informative and has 19 elements. Instrument color scheme: red and white light indicators on a black background.

The instrument panel on the VAZ 2115 is conventionally divided into four sectors in width. The left and right extreme parts are scales for coolant temperature and fuel quantity. The most important and voluminous parts of the VAZ 2115 instrument panel are the speedometer and tachometer. The first device shows the speed in kilometers per hour (located to the right). The second is an indicator of the number of crankshaft revolutions per minute (to the left of the center). They are made in the form of scales, the divisions of which are located on a circle.

Directly below the speedometer, the VAZ dashboard has an electronic odometer (mileage indicator). It shows two numbers:

• total vehicle mileage in kilometers;
• mileage from last reference point.

Zeroing is set by the driver using a manual switch, the location of which is under the number 200 on the speedometer. Under the tachometer on the dashboard there is an electronic display with the current time of day, and a button under the “200” indicator of the speedometer allows you to show the temperature outside the window. There are two arrows between the tachometer and speedometer (looking left and right). Each of them flickers green when the corresponding turn signal light is turned on.

The gasoline level scale on the VAZ instrument panel has three main positions. A full tank is designated “1,” and a half-filled tank is designated “1/2.” Next comes the red zone, which indicates a low fuel level. The scale ends with the number “0”. There are three main positions on the coolant level scale: 50, 90 and 130 degrees.

The red zone on the coolant level scale starts at 105 degrees. If the arrow is in this zone, it is necessary to immediately turn off the engine and ensure its normal cooling.

System problems

Summarizing the experience of drivers, the most common problems occur in the ignition switch. The limit switch in it should receive 12 volts. Sometimes it is the installers who confuse the diagram, after which the BSK not only does not see the door, but also does not work at all. To check functionality, you must disable the limit switch. If the BSK turns on, but does not see the door, then the problem is here.

For other cases, you will have to resort to checking the systems one by one according to the pinout diagram:

Before adding oil, check whether there is any oil leakage due to loss of tightness of the lubrication system. 2.

Rice. 1.5. Trip computer The trip computer (Fig. 1.5) is installed on some of the cars produced and is designed to measure, accumulate and display one of seven parameters on a digital display: – fuel consumption (current, average, total); – average speed; – distance traveled; – current time; – travel time. When you press the button.

Some of the cars produced are equipped with electrically controlled exterior mirrors. WARNING When the ignition is turned off, the trip computer indicator turns off, but the accumulated information and clock progress are saved. If the battery is disconnected, all accumulated information is lost. When the voltage drops in the on-board network.

Why does the oil pressure light come on in the VAZ 2114/2115

There are several likely reasons why this car light suddenly comes on. And only based on an accurate determination of the cause can the necessary actions be taken to eliminate the malfunction.

The indicator may light up in two cases:

at engine idle speed;

Each of these cases has its own causes of malfunctions.

The indicator in the form of an oil can lights up in situations where there is any problem with the oil pressure

The light came on at idle

The oil pressure light may come on (or blink) at idle, and if you press the gas pedal, the icon will immediately go out. In this case, the most likely causes of malfunctions are the following:

the crankshaft liners are worn out: the oil pressure will drop due to the fact that the gap between the thinned liner and the car’s connecting rod has increased;

the oil receiver mesh is severely clogged: one of the most common reasons why a light bulb suddenly lights up. Various types of sediment are gradually deposited on the surface of the engine sump. At the moment when there are too many deposits, the pump can no longer supply enough oil to operate the engine;

wear or any problems in the oil pump: another probable reason why the indicator may light up on a VAZ 2114/2115. Due to a breakdown of the pump itself or any part of it, oil does not enter the engine in the required quantity;

the sensor is faulty: it is quite possible that the oil level and the engine itself fully meet their basic characteristics, and the problem lies in the sensor;

the wiring is shorted: problems in the car’s electronic system can also cause the engine oil supply system to not operate correctly.

The oil can indicator light came on while driving.

In cases where the oil pressure light suddenly comes on while the car is moving, it is advisable to stop immediately. Probably the following failure or breakdown occurred:

the oil level in the engine unit is below the Min mark;

the oil filter could be clogged - this leads to the fact that the pressure invariably decreases;

it's time to change the oil - in cases where the car owner does not replace the substance in the engine for a long time, it loses its working properties.

We study the designation of icons on the instrument panel of the VAZ 2114

The panel itself contains three types of elements:

• Indicator lamps indicating the amount of consumables required for the operation of the car - gasoline. oils, brake fluid, etc.;
• Speedometer and tachometer;
• A control element for switching the speedometer operating mode.

Also, the concept of “instrument cluster” usually includes levers for turning on turn signals, buttons for controlling headlights, and a stove. and other machine communications.

The VAZ 2114 dashboard diagram looks like this:

From this article you will learn the designation of the icons on the dashboard of the VAZ 2114, the reasons for the indicators to light up, as well as the measures that need to be taken to eliminate the problems that have arisen.

Why do light bulbs fail?

How to remove the instrument panel on a VAZ 2114
The main reason for the relatively quick burnout is rather difficult operating conditions. Reduce resource:

• voltage fluctuations;
• vibration;
• overheating (in a closed space of the instrument panel this is normal).

In addition, filaments have a short service life of only 1500 hours.

In addition, lamps may stop working due to:

• wiring damage;
• destruction of board tracks;
• contact oxidation;
• blown fuses due to short circuit, etc.

For this reason, before replacing a light bulb in a Lada 2114, it is advisable to find out why it stopped working. Until the root cause is identified, the situation cannot be corrected.

Basic panel elements

The main place on the dashboard is reserved for the tachometer and speedometer, the fuel quantity sensor and the current fluid temperature in the cooling system. Let's look at the main symbols on the VAZ 2114 panel in more detail.

The VAZ 2114 tachometer is a pointer device, the signal to which is sent by the on-board computer of the fourteenth. The tachometer displays data on the number of revolutions of the crankshaft at the current time. The tachometer is divided by scales into 5 units, every second of which is digitized. The maximum numerical value of revolutions is 80.

To find out the actual engine speed when the car is moving, the tachometer indicator must be multiplied by 100. For example, if the arrow is located at 40, then the crankshaft is performing 4000 revolutions per minute.

The manufacturer has indicated a critical speed value, upon reaching which the engine of the fourteenth may fail due to excessive load. It is highlighted on the device with red shading; this value ranges from 6000 to 8000 rpm.

Under the tachometer there is an electronic window, which displays data about the current time and ambient air temperature.

The fourteenth has an induction dial speedometer, which is located on the right side of the dashboard. The speedometer is also divided into sectors, the division size is 10 kilometers. The maximum mark is 200 km.

Installation and repair instructions

To replace the PP on a VAZ 2115 tuning, taking into account the pinout, follow these steps:

1. First, disconnect the cable that goes to the cigarette lighter.
2. Dismantle the control panel cover; to do this, find two self-tapping screws at the edges and unscrew them. Also unscrew the screws that secure the PP at the top and bottom.
3. Dismantle the cover; this will require some effort. The pad itself is held on by clamps, so the plate will need to be rocked a little.
4. Next, disconnect all the wires that are connected to the control panel - these are the connectors for the light alarm, clock, speedometer, fuel level sensor, etc.
5. Dismantle the control panel; to do this, you will need to unscrew four more bolts on which it is fixed. Be careful at this stage - do not damage the wiring.

Actually, at this point the procedure for dismantling the control panel can be considered complete. If you need to change light bulbs, simply remove the sockets and install new indicators. To remove the cartridges you will need to turn them counterclockwise, do this carefully so as not to damage them. Further assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Indicator paws

Also, the instrument panel on the VAZ 2114 has a block of light indicators, which includes the following icons:

Let's look at the designation of the icons on the instrument panel in more detail:

1. An indicator that displays information about the current engine oil level. When the amount of lubricating fluid is critically low, the light turns orange. Oil must be added immediately after this indicator becomes active;
2. This indicator indicates a low amount of working fluid in the windshield washer reservoir. The tank is designed for 5 liters of liquid, the indicator turns on when its quantity drops below 1 liter;
3. Fluid quantity sensor in the engine cooling system. One of the most important indicators that needs to be closely monitored;
4. Indicates the presence of unlocked doors. Lights up red;
5. An indicator that lights up if the dimensions or brake lights are out of order. The active indicator color is red;
6. A light that lights up in case of critical wear of the brake pads (1.5 mm). Lights up from the moment you first press the brakes until the car is turned off;
7. An indicator indicating that the driver is not wearing seat belts.

An exclamation mark on the instrument panel of a VAZ 2114 can light up in two cases: when the car’s starter is turned on, and when the brake fluid level is low. As a rule, the reason is in the second option.

To eliminate the problem, completely fill the tank and check the contacts of the TZ level sensor, which are located on the container lid, for oxidation.

If the engine icon on the panel is on, it means something is wrong with the power unit of the fourteenth. There are many reasons why the Check Engine light comes on; it often stays on even when there are no visible faults. It is best to go to a service station for diagnostics, this way you will be protected from possible problems.

Possible faults

The instrument cluster of the VAZ 2115, like any other component of the car, is a device susceptible to various malfunctions.

In this case, there are not so many of them and they are all connected with the electrical part:

1. If the instrument panel does not work, there may be several reasons. Either this is poor contact between the device and the ECU, which can be solved by replacing the plug or cleaning the contacts, or a malfunction of the control panel itself, or “glitches” in the operation of the control unit. Typically, the device’s inoperability appears after the PCB has been dismantled and installed in place. In this case, the reason, most likely, is a poor connection of the contacts, so all connectors need to be reconnected, taking into account the pinout.
2. Some devices do not work - tachometer, speedometer, fuel level controller. The problem can be either electrical and consist of poor contact, or mechanical (breakage of the speed sensor, fuel level in the gas tank, etc.). Usually replacing the regulators will solve the problem.
3. The backlight of the VAZ 2115 instrument panel does not work. If all the bulbs immediately refuse to work, the reason, again, needs to be looked for in the electrical part - maybe a wire has simply come loose somewhere. If only one or several lamps have burned out, then they simply need to be replaced (a video about the installation of a tuned device in a dozen VAZs was made by Pavel Ksenon).

Bottom column of warning lamps

Let's look at the icons that fill the bottom of panel 2115, from left to right. An icon in the form of two vertical bars and a diagonal stripe indicates a reserve indicator. The container icon with a drop of liquid lights up when the oil level in the engine lubrication system is too low.

The letter P, described in a circle, lights up when the car is placed on the handbrake. The battery charge lamp should light up when you start the engine and then go out immediately. If the icon does not glow after starting the engine, then the on-board computer has detected problems with the battery charge, alternator or V-belt.

The CHECK ENGINE icon is displayed on the panel to indicate normal engine starting. It should also go out immediately after the engine is started. If this does not happen, it means that the ECU has detected a malfunction in the operation of the power unit. Above this icon is an indicator that the hazard warning lights are operating.

The icon in the form of a headlight with a blue border means that the high beam headlights are on. The symbol in the form of an exclamation mark in a circle informs that the brake fluid has reached the minimum permissible value. In the lower right corner there is a green light bulb icon. It lights up simultaneously with the side lights turning on and means that the optics are activated. Above it is an icon in the form of a gas station.

The “gas station” indicator lights up when there are no more than seven liters of fuel left in the fuel tank, and the VAZ 2115 needs refueling after covering 20–30 km.
