Every car owner is concerned about the safety and security of their car. This is especially true for those who are forced to leave their “iron horse” for a long time in public places, as well as in the courtyards of residential buildings. The desire to protect your property is understandable, given the fairly high crime rate. Modern cars are produced with a security system straight from the assembly line. Most often we are talking about the central locking.
It is very convenient and practical, so it remains unrivaled when choosing a security system for little money. Using this device, you can close and open all doors, including the trunk lid, automatically. All this is done both directly by turning the key in the lock, and from the remote control.
Features of standard central locking
AvtoVAZ even installs a central locking system with a remote control from the factory even on the most budget versions of Kalina. However, such a system is clearly not enough to effectively protect a car from theft. The Lada Kalina central locking system is also controlled from the interior. On the driver's door next to the power window control unit there is a central locking button. The ignition key simultaneously functions as a remote control. On its plastic part there are three buttons, the purpose of which is as follows:
- Unlocking. One press – the actuator should click and the driver’s door will open, two presses – the rest.
- Closing. To close all doors at the same time, just press the button once.
- Opening the trunk. Not available on all trim levels, as a trunk lock actuator is required. You can also install the electric drive yourself.
Kalina also provides another important function - rear door locking, as it is also called - child protection. To activate it, you need to use the key to turn the red chip to the right near the lock from the outside. After this, opening the rear doors from the passenger compartment is not possible, so that children cannot accidentally fall out while driving.
The central locking system does not have anti-theft functions; there are no shock sensors. All that the central lock can do is signal an unauthorized opening.
Frequent problems with alarms on Lada Kalina
The Lada Kalina manufacturer provides a standard alarm system that operates on a simplified principle and provides the following functions:
- door locking/unlocking;
- locking all doors when closing the driver's side;
- opening/closing the car by pressing a special button in the cabin;
- turning on the alarm when there is a break-in attempt.
The standard factory system is very reliable, and its functions are often sufficient to protect the machine. But a study of reviews shows that owners of domestic cars often encounter failures in the built-in protection. A common situation is when Kalina does not open with the standard alarm key fob. An equally common problem is when the immobilizer blocks the engine and prevents it from starting due to some built-in faults.
Basic central locking malfunctions and methods for eliminating them
There are times when, after pressing the door unlock button, you may encounter a lack of response to the command. The lock cannot be removed and the central lock does not respond to button presses on the remote control. Conclusion - Kalina's central locking does not work.
You can gain access to the interior using a key, but in this case the sound alarm is not deactivated, and everyone will know when the car is opened. If the system does not respond to commands from the remote control, there may not be many problems: either the batteries in the remote control are low and need to be replaced, or synchronization is lost. In this case, it is not repair that is required, but restoration of the system's functionality.
Kalina i (2020) e90 “can lin” does not close does not open doors / can and lin interfaces / starline
Good day! I independently installed an E90 alarm with a CAN LIN module on a Lada Kalina 1 (February 2022), software version E90 = L2, CAN LIN version 3.7 Problem: when arming and disarming, the door locks do not close, do not open at all nothing clicks or moves
