Malfunctions of the dashboard of a product of the domestic automobile industry - VAZ 2110

On cars of the “tenth” family, a one-piece plastic “dashboard” is used, which includes control indicators, climate control and air ducts. Dismantling and disassembling the structure is necessary in cases where the instrument panel of the VAZ 2110 does not work, as well as for installing additional equipment and sound insulation.

The device of the instrument panel on the VAZ 2110

The term “instrument panel” on cars refers to a block of warning lamps and indicators located in front of the driver. The correct name of the part is the shield, which is installed in a plastic panel called the dashboard.

The instrument panel on the VAZ 2110 includes:

• a device for determining the speed of movement - a speedometer;
• speed meter - tachometer;
• indicators of coolant temperature and fuel level in the tank;
• control indicator lamps equipped with yellow, orange, green, blue and red filters;
• lighting system (6 separate lamps);
• installation location of the warning lamp.

On VAZ 2110 cars it is possible to see several options for instrument combinations:

1. The first releases used an electromechanical version of the panel with serial number 2110-3801010. Externally, the device is easily identified by a mechanical odometer mounted on the speedometer scale. Its drive is made from an electric motor, the rest of the indicators operate on a magnetic principle. On the back of the shield there are two connection blocks located at right angles.
2. Later, an electronic version of the dashboard appeared, equipped with a liquid crystal display on the bottom of the speedometer. There are “gauges” with a “suction” indicator (which was not installed on the VAZ 2110 with such a panel from the factory) or with an airbag lamp in the same place. There may be cars with a double display window - under the tachometer and speedometer.
3. A very rare variant of the instrument cluster is designed for the VAZ 21106, equipped with a 2.0-liter Opel engine. The part number is 21106-3801010 and features an extended speed measurement range (up to 240 km/h) and an additional liquid crystal display on the bottom of the tachometer.
4. On the latest versions of the VAZ 2110, a shield began to be used, unified with the 2118 Kalina car (model 1118-3801010), differing in the layout of the scales. Such a part is called a “new sample” panel among its owners. The device is installed in a modified type dashboard.

Depending on the manufacturer and date of assembly, there are different designs for the VAZ-2110 instrument clusters. It is possible to digitize the tachometer in hundreds or thousands of revolutions, write technical information on the scale, etc.

Repair of instrument panel VAZ 2110

On cars of the VAZ 2110-2112 family, the dashboard includes control lights and on-board instruments, with the help of which the driver can easily monitor the condition of the car. The following indicator lights are displayed on the instrument panel: coolant temperature, turn signals, tachometer, fuel level, speedometer, an image in the form of a gas station, indicating that it is necessary to refuel, lights for turning on the dimensions and high beams, low brake fluid level, a screen reflecting the vehicle’s mileage, emergency alarm, Check Engine, which signals engine malfunctions, a display with a clock, an indication of a generator malfunction or battery recharging, an indication of the handbrake, a low oil pressure light in the engine and, on carburetor engines, a choke light). Disassembly and replacement of devices

To replace (repair) devices, you must perform the following actions in a strictly established order:

1. The entire instrument cluster must be removed completely.

2. Unscrew the screws (2 pcs.) that secure the tire. After this, the bus itself must be disconnected from the instrument system board.

3. Unscrew the screws (7 pcs.) that secure the frame with glass.

4. It is necessary to remove the frame by disconnecting it from the instrument system.

5. Unscrew the 2 screws that secure the instrument cluster board.

6. Disconnect the left light filter, which has warning lamp symbols.

7. Disconnect the right light filter, which has warning lamp symbols.

9. Unscrew the nuts securing the fuel level sensor, coolant temperature sensor and tachometer. Each device is secured with 3 nuts.

10. Disconnect the board from the instrument system housing.

11. Unscrew the screws securing the instrument scale to the body (5 pcs.).

12. Remove the scale with instruments from the system body.

13. Very carefully, prying the arrow of the fuel level indicator with a screwdriver, you need to remove it from the axle.

14. Unscrew the screws (2 pcs.) that secure the fuel level indicator to the scale.

15. Disconnect the fuel level indicator. Install a new one in its place. When installing the sensor, perform all steps in the reverse order of removal.

16. Replace the remaining devices in the same manner as described. This is the entire repair of the VAZ 2110 instrument panel. As you can see, there is nothing complicated and there is no need to go to a specialized service center and pay money.

17. Assembly of the instrument system should be carried out in the reverse order of disassembly. When carrying out this work, it is necessary to take into account that the nuts that secure the tachometer have a different thread.

Instrument panel pinout

The instrument cluster is connected to the vehicle's on-board network using plugs located on the rear wall. The connectors are made of white plastic (indicated as X1 in the diagrams) and red (X2 in the diagrams). Depending on the manufacturer, the pinout of the plugs is different. This point should be taken into account when performing repairs.

Placement of elements on the rear wall of the shield

• 1 — fuel remaining lamp;
• 2 — panel illumination;
• 3 — right turn indicator;
• 4 — left turn indicator;
• 5 — white block X1;
• 6 — coolant temperature indicator;
• 7 — lamp for side lights;
• 8 — indicator of the switched on “suction”;
• 9 — control lamp for engine oil pressure;
• 10 — indicator of the applied parking brake;
• 11 — indicator of lack of battery charging;
• 12 — tachometer;
• 13 — Check Engine indicator;
• 14 — speedometer and red block X2;
• 15 — lamp for emergency brake fluid level drop;
• 16 — operation of external emergency signaling with turn signals;
• 17 — high beam indicator;
• 18 - a device that displays the fuel level in the tank.

Purpose of wires in the white plug of old-style combinations. The pin positions of the block are indicated in the diagram above.

Purpose of wires in the red plug of old-style instrument clusters.

Connecting the trip computer

The mentioned diagram took into account only one, brown wire leading from the red block to the trip computer, but this is clearly not enough. Therefore, let's see how the pinout occurs here.

1. The fuel consumption signal from the electronic control unit is indicated by a green wire;
2. Orange leads to terminal “15” in the ignition switch;
3. Red and white - to terminal “30” in the ignition switch;
4. Black, which is common, goes to ground;
5. The speed indicator corresponds to brown;
6. The positive terminal of the fuel sensor is green and red;
7. Responsible for lighting the dashboard white, it leads to the light control.

Make sure that the board is not damaged, on which, in fact, uninterrupted reading of information from your VAZ 2110 depends, and providing it to you through all those sensors and devices that you always see in front of you.

Hello everyone) A new entry is dedicated to the transition from the AutoDevice (AP) panel with one window 2110-3801010-04 to the new VDO Panel 1118-3801010. The devices are completely different, so the modifications affected primarily the pads.

What problems can arise with the instrument panel on the VAZ 2110?

The reasons why the instrument cluster stopped working are divided into two types:

• incorrect operation of the backlight or part of the indicators;
• complete shutdown of the panel.

Instrument panel backlight does not light up

Several light bulbs are used to illuminate the combination. A darkened section indicates one or two burnt out bulbs. If the backlight fails completely, you should check the fuse responsible for the power circuit. It is located in the cabin block in the first place on the left in the top row, and has a nominal value of 5A.

The cause of the indicators not working may be problems in the electronics. So, a malfunction in the engine controller is a possible reason for the failure of the Check Engine lamp.

If, in the event of a complete failure of the instrument lighting on a VAZ 2110, the rear license plate lighting lamps and the left side side lights stop working, all these symptoms indicate a failure of the fuse link.

Complete node failure

Complete failure of the instrument cluster means turning off the dial indicators, warning lamps, and display. The main cause of the malfunction is the blown fuse located in the cabin unit. The 10 A insert is installed second from the right in the bottom row.

You can verify that the fuse has failed by looking at the direction indicators not working. If the new insert burns out, you should look for the problem in a short circuit in the wiring. It is forbidden to try to solve the problem by installing fuses of increased ratings or “bugs”, as this may cause a fire.

Arrows jump up and down

The reason for the chaotic movement of the arrows is a poor mass signal due to rotting or loosening of the wire fastening. According to the factory wiring diagram, ground comes from a wire attached to the engine panel. The bolt attachment point is located behind the audio system installation location. There may be other points for conducting the mass wire, obtained as a result of repairs performed by the previous owners of the car. After locating the contact point, you need to securely crimp the fastener and check the integrity of the conductor with a tester.

Instrument panel problem

On many used cars, instrument failures are often encountered due to the destruction of printed circuit board elements. To check, you need to pull the combination out of the panel without disconnecting the power supplies.

Cigarette lighter problem

A common cause of incorrect operation of the instrument panel on the VAZ 2110 is the cigarette lighter. When high-power consumers are connected, the fuse and the power supply to the instrument cluster located next to it burn out. The 25 A cigarette lighter insert is located to the left of the indicator panel (discussed in the complete unit failure section).

Diagnosis and troubleshooting

If the instrument panel of the VAZ 2110 does not work, then to fix the problems you need to:

• check the lamps and replace faulty elements;
• check the integrity of the wiring using a multimeter or test indicator;
• inspect the condition of the contacts and clean their surface from traces of oxidation;
• check the condition of the fuses;
• test the operation of the devices.

The diagram shows fuses in blue that need to be checked if problems arise with the devices on the VAZ 2110.

Instrument cluster circuit fuses

To check the temperature or fuel level gauge you must:

1. Connect the ignition.
2. Connect the positive power output of the device (attached to pin 5 in the white plug) to ground with a wire. If the arrow deviates, you need to check the condition of the wiring connecting the sensor and indicator.
3. If the temperature indicator constantly indicates overheating, it must be disconnected from the sensor. If the needle drops to zero, the sensor needs to be replaced. Otherwise, there is a short circuit in the wiring to ground or failure of the indicator device itself.
4. To test the device, you need to remove the white plug from the panel and apply power to pin 10 directly from the positive terminal of the battery. At the same time, a negative voltage is applied to pin 1. A working indicator shows a value equal to zero; if the arrow deviates, the device requires replacement.

Replacing backlight bulbs

1. Take the plastic rim of the lamp and turn it to the left. When turning, you will feel that the lamp has become free.

2. Take a new lamp, insert it, and turn it to the right until it locks.

How to remove and disassemble the old-style instrument panel on a VAZ 2110?

To dismantle the instrument panel of a VAZ 2110, high qualifications are not required. Removing and installing another combination does not lead to immobilization of the car and the appearance of errors in the electronic units. The complex itself is equipped with a collapsible body and is divided into several components for repair or tuning.

What tools will you need to remove the panel yourself?

To remove and disassemble the instrument cluster, two screwdrivers are required:

• set of wrenches and sockets;
• short with a cross-shaped sting;
• regular length with a cross-shaped tip.

Preparatory work

Preparation for removing the instrument panel includes:

• turning off the power supply to the on-board network by removing the battery terminal;
• dismantling the steering wheel and column trim;
• glove box removal;
• a number of owners remove the front seats, freeing up additional space for work.

Instructions for removing the instrument panel

Step-by-step disassembly of the VAZ 2110 dashboard:

1. Remove the screws securing the shield in the passenger's feet and the shield itself.
2. Using a similar scheme, remove the shield from the driver's side.
3. Remove the curved plug located under the parking brake lever.
4. Remove the four screws securing the center console cover to the brackets. Attachment points are located on the sides, center and trailing edge.
5. Disconnect the power window control key pads (if they are installed on the car). Remove the cigarette lighter connector.
6. Remove the protective cover of the gear shift lever from the console cover housing. Dismantling is carried out carefully so as not to tear the cover.
7. Remove the center console cover from the vehicle.
8. Remove the warm air supply ducts to the rear seats.
9. Unscrew the nuts securing the lower part.
10. Remove the plastic trim on the front roof pillars.
11. Remove the radio, heater control unit, clock, on-board display unit.
12. Remove the plugs located along the top edge of the panel, in the area of ​​the small non-adjustable deflectors.
13. Unscrew the fixing nuts located underneath them.
14. Unscrew the screws securing the casing along the lower edge. Two screws are located on the left, the third secures the diagnostic connector. Two more screws are located in the center of the dashboard, at the feet of the driver and passenger. Additionally, there are screws in the fuse box and in the cavity under the glove box.
15. Remove the mounting block.
16. Carefully remove the plastic casing from the seats. You may need to remove the plastic ties that secure the wiring.

What is included in the design?

To make it easier to remove the entire dashboard or its individual elements, you need to know what the structure consists of. In a VAZ 2114 car, the dashboard includes 11 main elements, which are shown below:

Dashboard base. It contains controls for interior systems.

1. Overlays. This part is needed to securely fasten the base.
2. Bracket.
3. The sealing element is a plug.
4. Ashtray.
5. Crossbar, there are two of them. The number “6” shows the right one.
6. Right dashboard screen.
7. A shield that blocks access to the wiring.
8. Central bracket.
9. Left screen of the instrument panel.
10. Left cross member.

In VAZ cars, you can improve the appearance of the dashboard. To do this, you need to unload the dashboard from the dials. More stylish and modern information devices are usually installed to replace them. The same applies to the backlight; if you wish, you can update it yourself and install modern original LEDs.

By dismantling these elements one by one, you can completely disassemble the dashboard. Below you will find detailed instructions with which the motorist can completely remove the dashboard elements from the car.

The instrument panel does not work on the VAZ 2110? For repairs you will need a diagram and panel pinout. As in any other model, the “tens” dashboard serves to display the status of the car, it shows the amount of fuel, speed, and also informs the owner of the VAZ 2110 about problems in the operation of components. But the panel is not an open book for all motorists, especially for novice drivers. This material describes the pinout, operating principle, purpose of the devices, main malfunctions, as well as repairs.

If the plastic is cracked or a corner begins to peel off

1. Let's start from the corner.

It may come off due to the following:

• the screws that attract the top trim to the instrument panel have opened;
• the soft part of the panel has moved away from the metal part of the top cover.

If the screws open, you will have to remove the entire panel to tighten them. A description of this procedure can be found below.

If the corner came off for the second reason, then you can correct the situation in two ways:

• We don’t recommend sealing it, as it won’t last long;
• hide the gap - it can be closed with a wire - the gap remains, but does not attract attention, because it seems that it is needed specifically to give place to the wire.

There is another way: fix the angle using mounting foam. For this:

• clean and degrease the metal part;
• apply foam to it - if foam gets on the floor, remove it with a wet rag;
• apply the soft part and secure with a paper clip;
• wait until the foam dries, and then remove the excess with a stationery knife;
• Cover the foam layer between the soft part of the panel and the metal overlay with a marker so that it does not stand out.

2. Now it will get rid of the cracks.

Here, too, there are two ways to solve the problem:

• use special means for repairing plastic products;
• cover with material.

First of all, you do not need to remove the dashboard of the VAZ 2110. Boil epoxy resin or cosmophen and seal the cracks. You can also use cold welding. You just have to completely repaint it. Otherwise, the covered cracks will stand out.

In the second case, you can cover it with leather or vinyl leather. In this case, the panel will have to be removed. Before tightening, the cracks need to be filled.

Indicators

Dashboard

At the moment of ignition, all the lights on the instrument panel light up; after the engine starts, most of the indicators go out. Sometimes, even after starting the engine, one light continues to glow or even blink. This alarms drivers, because it is difficult to say which component in a VAZ 2110 car is malfunctioning; diagnostics are required to determine the breakdown.

We know that the “ten” can be old or new. In both versions, the designations remain identical, the only difference is the location of the light bulbs and their diagram.

At the bottom of the instrument panel there are indicators that indicate a malfunction in the operation of various systems of the VAZ 2110. If they continue to light when the engine is running, it means that repairs will have to be carried out.

Wires

The number of wires is amazing. It would seem that the VAZ 2110 is far from the most modern car, which does not have a huge amount of electronics. However, there is wiring in abundance.

Pinout

Disconnect only those wires that relate to the instrument panel. Label them, label them with self-adhesive labels, write down all the designations on a piece of paper. This will allow you to understand where which wiring is connected during the reassembly process.

The easiest way to disassemble the instrument panel is to contact professionals from a service station. After all, you planned to remove it for a reason, but in order to make some adjustments, replace dashboard elements, install LED backlighting, and so on. Therefore, it is not necessary to carry out dismantling yourself in order to go disassembled to a service station. Entrust the entire range of work to specialists.

Pinout

If you want to perform repairs or other operations on the instrument panel, then you need a VAZ 2110 pinout. If you don’t have it, you will have to track every wire from the indicator, button to the device. The diagram allows you to determine which of the devices does not work in the event of a malfunction in one or another node. If the indicators in the old and new VAZ 2110 are identical, then the pinout is slightly different. There are two pads - red and white. Pinout may seem complicated only at the beginning. Let's take several connectors as an example.

The first number indicates the black wire that goes to ground. The thirteenth number is tied to the oil pressure sensor in the system, as the diagram tells us. The white block indicates the connector number, the wire and the unit (unit) to which the wiring goes. The red block is read in exactly the same way. The first connector contains blue and red wires; they go to the external temperature sensor. As for number thirteen, here the white wire leads to the ignition switch.

The pinout and diagram shown in this article are basic. They may differ in color marking, because many variations of the VAZ 2110 have entered the market. To avoid confusion, it is recommended to compare the data from the article with the instruction manual, which also contains a diagram and pinout.

Connection knowledge

Before starting dismantling work, you need at least a conventional pinout on paper, otherwise it will be very difficult: you will need to “trace” every wire and every connection that is on the “path” from the devices to the power button.

In fact, the pinout of the VAZ 2110 dashboard is not so difficult to understand, but there are differences between cars produced in different years and at different factories. There is an old model, there is one with a mechanical odometer, and a new (Euro) model, so there are differences in the pinout of the instrument panel, depending on the type to which it belongs.

Malfunctions and repairs

Instruments or indicators may fail. This could be part of the indicators or even the entire speedometer. VAZ 2110 owners rarely encounter this situation, since the dashboard works properly, especially in domestic cars. Before changing the instrument panel or repairing individual parts, you should make sure that the sensors are working properly - we use the on-board computer.

Inaccurate installation leads to failure of elements. On the instrument panel board, the parts are attached using simple rivets, hence the negative result. The body is constantly subject to vibrations, so the installation simply “falls apart” and breaks appear in the circuit. Repair in this case involves soldering the rivets and thoroughly cleaning the contacts.

1. It is necessary to remove the plug; the board does not need to be disconnected from the case.
2. The next step is to apply flux to the places on the board with arrows (photo below). Both pads also need to be removed and thoroughly lubricated.

After soldering is completed, the instrument panel can be returned to its place. If you have free time, you can go through the contacts using sandpaper. On older cars they usually oxidize, which can prevent the devices from functioning properly.

You can see how to remove the dashboard in the video below.

Vibrant variety of colors

Today, the fashion for changing the dashboard lighting is gaining fantastic momentum. Almost everywhere cars have neon lighting or internal LED illumination. However, all these innovations are not a cheap pleasure, which not everyone can afford. The situation is different when replacing the factory backlight with a multi-colored one.

You can, no doubt, use ready-made tuning options, but this will also cost a lot. It is best to do it yourself. In this situation, the main thing is to have the necessary materials and patience. First you have to disassemble the “tidy”. The protective glass must be removed. Next we remove the arrows. To do this, you need to use a screwdriver and hard cardboard.

It should be placed under the arrow, and then pry it off with a screwdriver. Then you need to carefully and slowly lift it to the top. Next, remove the backing. A utility knife will be useful for this. It must be inserted between the panel and the substrate and a layer of sealant must be cut in a circle. Then remove the backing. Let's disassemble the panel and get started.

1. Remove the filter layer using a utility knife. A filter is a colored layer of paint. It is applied from the back of the substrate and gives color illumination to the speedometer numbers and other sensors. To completely get rid of the filter, you can use acetone or another liquid that contains alcohol.

2. Next, change the backlight color. First, you can change the odometer backlight. To do this, you will need to dismantle the odometer screen, and then remove the blue film and remove the backlight bulb. It should be replaced with a multi-color universal LED. He can change colors. We connect the LED to the socket of a standard light bulb. Reinstall the odometer screen.

3. Now you can start completely replacing the backlight. We attach the LEDs to the “tidy” frame. Such LEDs can be purchased complete with a color switch. We install them in place and attach them to the standard dashboard backlight contacts.

4. Let's move on. Now we need to make sure that the arrows have the ability to change the backlight. To do this, remove the layer of red paint from the arrows. For this operation, you can use a stationery knife and acetone. Once the arrow is clean, it can be painted using white nail polish. The main thing is that the arrow is white, since this color conveys the color scheme of the LEDs.

5. Before the final stage, you need to attach the LED color switch to the panel. Such a switch can be installed, for example, in the lower right corner of the dashboard. After this, you can install everything in place. First, the substrate is installed. For greater reliability, you can use a sealant. After this, we put the arrows in place. We insert the protective glass. After that we admire the result.
