APS-6 is a standard anti-theft device for Lada Priora/Kalina/Granta/Niva cars. On Luxe trim levels the standard immobilizer is activated from the factory, but on simpler versions you have to do it yourself. The article provides instructions for learning the key and activating the immobilizer.

The delivery set includes 3 keys: 2 black “working” keys (hereinafter referred to as RK ) and a red “master key” (hereinafter referred to as MK ) for training the system. The indicator lamp (hereinafter referred to as CL ) signals the programming state. Its rapid flashing (5 times per second) indicates that the learning procedure is being performed correctly. Stopping fast flashing means:

wrong action;
exceeding the time provided for completing the training procedure;
malfunction;
This RK has already been trained by another immobilizer (does not fit the ECU).

Key programming for Kalina, Priora, Grants, UAZ and Niva

The remote control key for Lada Priora, Kalina, Granta, UAZ Patriot, Niva is programmed on the car without any devices. To do this, you need to have a so-called training key in your hands - which has a red pip on the head of the key. Used in cars with APS-6 unit.

The remote control key looks like this:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

We work and consult ONLY in Nizhny Novgorod. If you are from another region, do not write or call us - we will not answer. We do not treat keys or cars from other cities: contact specialists in your region.

Purpose:

The remote control is designed for remote control of locking and unlocking of car doors, turning on and off super-locking doors, turning on and off the alarm system, raising the windows, controlling the locking of the tailgate (trunk lid), and also as a coded electronic key for the APS-6 immobilizer

The remote control is mounted on the blade of the ignition switch key type 1118-3704010 and is designed to operate:

with electrical package control unit 1118-6512010

with driver's door module 1118-3763080, 2170-3763080-00/10

2) via transponder channel:

with immobilizer control unit APS-6 2123-3840010-ХХ;
with immobilizer control unit APS-6.1 1118-3840010-ХХ;
with electrical package controller-2170-3763040.

Training procedure:

Carrying out the training procedure leads to the following consequences:

the engine control controller activates the anti-theft function if it has not been activated;
the system changes its password to a new one chosen at random;
a new system password is written into the training key;
all remote controls that were previously trained are erased from memory;
The codes of those remote control units that were trained in this training procedure are stored in memory.

The training procedure is applied in the following cases:

activating the anti-theft function in the controller (for example, in a new car or replacing a faulty controller);
erasing old and training new remote controls if lost;
changing the system password if the owner admits that his system password may have been read (for example, when selling a car from one owner to another)
remote control training when replacing a faulty immobilizer with a new one.

Only new remote control units or those that were previously trained using the training key used in this training procedure can be trained. It is impossible to learn a remote control key from another car into your car.

Please note: Due to the importance of the training key, it is not recommended to use it for everyday use and should be kept in a safe place.

Before starting the training procedure, fill the car with at least 10 liters of gasoline so as not to get confused by the squeaks.

Let's sum it up

Upon completion of the entire list of manipulations, this chip key can be considered trained. Sometimes the first attempt, when the key is trained, may not bring the expected result. You should not despair, because if you repeat the procedure, the situation is guaranteed to improve. And now you know how to register the key correctly.

Welcome! Immobilizer - This is a device thanks to which the car breaks the chain in the system (which chain the car chooses to break), thanks to this the car will either not start, or it will start but after a very short time it will stall, but over time such moments happen that the immobilizer you have to train, this happens for various reasons, for example, you need to change the password for the immobilizer (This is very useful when strangers find out the password for the immobilizer), or if you lose the working keys (the working key is the one that starts the car), the immobilizer also has to be retrained, otherwise the car just won't work.

Key programming instructions for Lada Kalina, Priora, Granta, etc.

Close all doors. Turn on the ignition with the training key and wait in the on state for at least 6 seconds.
Turn off the ignition. The indicator light in the warning lamp unit should flash quickly (at a frequency of 5 times per second) while the learning procedure is being carried out correctly. If the lamp stops flashing quickly, it indicates an incorrect operation, an out-of-time interval, or a malfunction. Remove the training key from the ignition switch.
While the warning lamp is flashing (about 6 seconds), insert the remote control and turn on the ignition. The immobilizer buzzer should emit three beeps. If the buzzer does not sound and the indicator has stopped flashing, this means: - the time interval of 6 seconds has been exceeded and it is necessary to repeat the learning procedure, starting from step 1; -immobilizer is faulty
Wait 6 seconds for the buzzer to emit two more beeps and turn off the ignition.
If it is necessary to train the second remote control, then you should perform steps 3...4 again, using the second learning remote control to turn on the ignition. If not, continue from step 6.
After turning off the ignition for no more than 6 seconds, while the indicator is flashing, remove the remote control, insert the learning key and turn on the ignition. The buzzer should beep three times. Wait 6 seconds until the buzzer beeps two more times.
Turn off the ignition without removing the training key, wait 6 seconds until the buzzer sounds a single sound signal. The indicator should flash twice as fast. If the sound signal does not sound and the flashing indicator stops, you should return to step 1 and repeat the learning procedure. If a repeated failure occurs when performing step 7, this means that the ECM was previously trained with a different key, in which case the controller should be replaced.
After the buzzer gives a single sound signal, no later than 3 seconds, turn on the ignition for 2...3 seconds and then turn it off (after turning on the ignition, the buzzer will sound three times and the indicator will stop flashing). The hazard warning lights should flash and the car horn should beep.
Remove the learning key. Wait with the ignition off for at least 10 seconds. Insert the working key and turn on the ignition. Wait 6 seconds, if the indicator does not flash, test start the engine, the engine should start. If the indicator flashes, turn off the ignition and wait at least 10 seconds. Turn on the ignition. The warning light should not flash and the engine should start. If, after turning on the ignition, after 6 seconds the indicator lights up with a constant light, then the learning procedure must be repeated, starting from step 1.

Detailed description of programming

To train the Kalina immobilizer, you must follow 8 main points.

The first step is to close all the doors and turn on the ignition.

Manipulation is carried out exclusively with a training key. After ignition, you must hold for 6 seconds.

At the second stage, the Lada Kalina is turned off. At this moment the warning light will start flashing and this will continue until the learning process is completed. If the indicator stops giving light signals, it means that some action was performed incorrectly. If this situation occurs, the ignition procedure must be repeated.

At the third stage of training Lada Kalina, the lamp continues to flash for about 6 seconds. At this point, you need to insert the working key and turn on the ignition again. Correctly performed actions are accompanied by three signals that the buzzer will sound.

At the fourth stage you need to wait a little. After repeated signals from the buzzer, you can turn off the ignition and carry out the procedure again. If you are unable to complete the training, a mistake has most likely been made. Perhaps the chip key has already gone through this procedure.

At the fifth stage, the ignition is turned off. The operation with the second element must be repeated 3-5 times.

At the sixth stage, the control lamp flashes. It is necessary to remove the trained remote control and reinsert the training one. If the actions are performed correctly, the buzzer will sound three times.

At the seventh stage, you should wait for two accompanying sounds. The work is completed by turning off the ignition and waiting for a single sound signal.

After all manipulations, the chip key is considered trained. Don't worry if you didn't achieve the desired result the first time. Repeated action will correct the situation.

In the third year of operation, the standard ignition key from the editorial Lada Kalina died for a long time. The same one that is familiar to all owners of modern Lada models, as well as Datsun sedans and hatchbacks and UAZ Patriot all-terrain vehicles - with a protruding sting and three buttons. Most likely, the reason for the failure was the printed circuit board: at first, the battery charge began to last only for a week, and then even installing a new battery ceased to revive the domestic craft.

Craftsmen on the forums tell how they restored their keys. But it is unlikely that even among the owners of domestic cars there are now many people who remember that before soldering it is necessary to dip the soldering iron in rosin, and the word “tin” is not perceived as a personal insult.

So I went a different route. First, I called official dealers and was horrified by the prices: the officials are ready to sell a standard key and program it for a specific immobilizer for “only” 2,500 rubles. Two and a half thousand - and in your hands you will find a key that has set your teeth on edge, the plus of which is that you can always uncork a bottle of carbonated drink with it, and the minus is that it regularly damages your pockets. Or linings in a purse.

I found an alternative in the famous Tolyatti GSK “Plamya” - a garage cooperative, where sellers of spare parts for domestic cars have settled in dozens of boxes since time immemorial. I remember how, during my university years, a teacher who also worked at AVTOVAZ was surprised: they say, we are just finishing testing the promising Kalina, and “Plame” already has components for it! If it’s not convenient for you to go to Tolyatti, you can look for an alternative on the Internet - there are plenty of offers from both Chinese sites and domestic retailers.

One way or another, I settled on a key for 1,500 rubles, which not only exactly copies the “clamshell” for Audi models, but along with the mark of a famous brand bears the proud inscription Made in Germany. According to a friend who works at an official dealership, they order keys in Germany only if a specific client requests them and do not store blanks, but it is certainly not a problem to arrange wholesale deliveries if desired. I specifically compared this blank with a first-generation Audi Q7 key and discovered the only difference was in the metal blank for cutting the bit.

Audi and Lada ignition switches are different, so sellers replaced the flat German “blade” with a sting with horizontal slots. All that remains is to grind out a suitable beard (another 150 rubles) and train a new key to work with Kalina’s standard immobilizer.

In order for the master to make a groove on both sides, he had to disassemble the new key. Usually, to replace the switch blade, it is enough to knock out the pin at its base, but Togliatti craftsmen modernized the design by attaching it to glue, so they had to arm themselves with a screwdriver.

The instructions for training a key to work with the APS-6 immobilizer, found on the Internet, initially caused confusion: at first glance, it seems that it is simply impossible to remember in what sequence to change the training key to a new one, how many times the buzzer should beep and the indicator should blink. And the human body is not at all capable of keeping within a six-second interval between these actions. However, everything turned out to be much simpler - and our video is evidence of this.

For some reason, the instruction manual supplied with VAZ cars of recent years does not provide instructions on how to programmatically disable the immobilizer. Many owners are interested in how to disable the immobilizer on Kalina 2, Grant and other similar cars. In fact, the shutdown procedure is provided even for the APS-4 immobilizer (VAZ-2110). For APS-6 modules installed on all modern Ladas, it remains the same.

Replacing the remote control battery

The remote control is equipped with a CR2032 lithium battery, the initial supply voltage of which is 3 V. If the remote control supply voltage is within normal limits, then each time you press any button on the remote control, the indicator lights up with a short flash. If, when you press any button on the remote control, the indicator lights up with two short flashes or does not light up at all, then you should replace the battery with a new one.

To do this, you need to unscrew the screw from the side of the case opposite the control buttons, separate the halves of the case, remove the board from the case, replace the battery with a new one, observing the polarity; insert the board into the case; snap the housing halves together and tighten the screw.

Resynchronization of remote control codes

In cases where the remote control buttons are pressed outside the range of the radio channel, the “floating” code counter in the remote control goes out of synchronization with the counter in the system control unit. If the number of button presses outside the signal reception area of the system exceeds 1000, the system stops responding to remote control commands. In this case, the remote control training procedure should be repeated.

Updated August 01, 2013

Due to the increasing number of cases of lost training (master) keys for car owners of Kalina, Priora, Grant, Niva-Chevrolet, we are introducing a new type of service: registration of working keys in these cars, without a master key!

Usually in such cases, it is necessary to change a set of blocks: ECU (electronic engine control unit), APS unit, glass control unit, ignition switch complete with door cylinders and new keys, etc.

Now in our company you can register a working key with buttons without a training key, and for an additional fee you can receive a new training (red) key for your car. For this procedure, you need to come by car and leave it while the work is being carried out. The work includes dismantling the necessary units (ECU, APS, etc.) from the car, programmatically changing data, installing units on the car and registering keys. We emphasize that a key registered in this way will cost more than registering a remote control yourself if you have a training key, but naturally cheaper than buying and replacing a set of blocks with new ones.

Update January 05, 2014

Attention! It is now possible to make a duplicate chip for autostart using a working key with remote control buttons! A master or training key is not required. The chip obtained in this way can be used both for installation in the immobilizer bypass unit to implement autostart, and for everyday use, starting the engine of Lada Kalina, Priora, Niva-Chevrolet cars. Such a duplicate is more expensive than a regular chip, which can be registered using a master key, but this is a real solution in cases where the master (training) key is lost. To create a duplicate, you need a car, a working key with remote control buttons (and it doesn’t even matter if it is partially faulty, for example, the buttons don’t work, etc., the main thing is that the ignition key starts the engine). The entire copying procedure takes 10-15 minutes. Contact us by phone in contacts.
