Thanks to this, the driver can always know the state of the components and assemblies in his car. But in order to know exactly what it is about, it is necessary to take into account the pinout of the panel. We will tell you more about this below.
Instrument panel device
What if it doesn't light up and doesn't work? How is it produced and how should it be dealt with if necessary? First of all, let's take a look at its structure.
The instrument cluster of the car includes the following elements:
- a tachometer that allows you to monitor the number of revolutions of the internal combustion engine;
- speedometer showing the speed of movement;
- fuel level controller in the tank;
- temperature controller of the power unit, namely antifreeze in the cooling system;
- control indicators, which should be 12;
- LED suspension indicators 2110;
- a reserve socket, in which the control lamp is turned on;
- several pads for connecting cables.
It should be noted that the red block on the wiring diagram is marked with X2, and the white block with X1, so you will not be able to confuse these elements. If we talk directly about the control panel "tens", then these cars use several types of dashboards located on the torpedo. In this case, the majority depends on the year of manufacture of the vehicle - the car can be equipped with either an old or a new version of the tidy.
- One of the features of the old panel is that all devices are installed symmetrically in it.
- In the control panel of the new sample, several indicators - the temperature of the power unit and the level of gasoline - are located with a slight shift to the right.
If the devices do not work, the bulbs stop burning, often the only way out is to disassemble the panels. In practice, certain components may well fail to work, the disassembly and diagnostics procedure, as a rule, helps to solve the problem. However, before making a VAZ 2110, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the pinout of the shield. This is done in order to understand where this or that wire leads and what function it performs, what safety elements are used, etc.
In principle, “reading” the disassembled flap is not a problem, especially since all the necessary information can be found in the service manual for the operation of the vehicle. If you have such a book and a machine at hand, as well as a desire, you can solve any problems in the operation of the control panel without the help of an electrician.
Common faults and how to fix them
The control panel can stop working for several reasons.
As a rule, the removal of the instrument panel is carried out in the event of such malfunctions:
- The backlight on the control panel "tens" stopped working. In this case, it is necessary to diagnose the condition of the contacts, as well as the condition of the wiring responsible for the suspension. The shield could stop working simply due to the combustion of the safety elements, or the lamps could fail due to wear, often the cause is a short circuit. In principle, as practice shows, there are more than enough reasons, so sometimes it is very problematic to identify and solve a problem without a tester.
- One of the most serious problems for which a disassembled device may need to be replaced is complete failure. If the system fails, and all sensors and indicators, without exception, stop working on the dashboard, the arrows of the controllers fall down, and the bulbs simply do not light up. To eliminate the problem, it is necessary first of all to diagnose the safety component at number 15, it is marked as F6 and this part is located in the fuse box. If this component is burnt out, then this malfunction is solved simply - by replacing it with a new one. However, first you need to figure out exactly what is the reason for its burnout. First, you should find and eliminate the cause, only then install a new element. As a rule, the cause of a blown fuse is a short circuit in the on-board network.
- The arrows began to spontaneously move up and down. This problem is quite common in domestic tens, as a rule, the main reason is the problem of poor mass contact. Firstly, the bulk wire is fed to the partition designed to separate the passenger compartment and the engine compartment. If you need to get to it, you will need to dismantle the audio system from the installation site, the quality of its fixation must be checked.
Secondly, quite often during installation, the mass is removed to another place so that it has more convenient access. So if you have an anti-theft system, and there is no wire under the car radio, try looking for it under the interior trim, in particular, next to the motorist's left foot.
Thirdly, the ground wire could be damaged during the installation of a new car radio. When the negative wire is connected, the ground wire must be unscrewed. Further, its reverse installation is carried out, however, as practice shows, it is often less reliable than it was initially. As a result of vibrations that occur during driving, driving on uneven roads, including pits and bumps, the mount begins to weaken over time. Accordingly, this leads to the fact that the contact disappears, and this, in turn, leads to the inoperability of the control panel. So, first of all, you need to securely fix the postings, as this can bring certain difficulties in the future. - Malfunctions associated with the operation of the device itself. If you need to qualitatively check whether everything is normal with this device, dismantle it as much as possible from the installation site, but for this, do not disconnect the wires that power it. First, the white wire is diagnosed with the X2 marking, which is connected to the first contact. In addition, using a multimeter, you should also diagnose the presence of voltage on pins 9 and 10. If the system is working properly, then when diagnosing you will notice that the voltage in the system is 12 volts. We also recommend checking the back of the dashboard - all conductive paths on it must be intact.
- As practice shows, the problem of the control panel inoperability is often caused by the failure of the cigarette lighter itself. This is because many motorists practice connecting various electronic devices and gadgets to this socket for various functions. For example, it can be a charger for a mobile phone, a tablet, and a video recorder, an anti-radar detector, a GPS navigator and other devices can be powered from the cigarette lighter. Since devices of this type consume a large amount of current, the devices often damage the cigarette lighter itself, and the problem of burnout of the F19 safety element can also often occur. Accordingly, the control panel either turns off completely, or continues to function, only incorrectly. In the event that the fuse is working, you can try to disconnect the lighter socket block. If these actions do not give any results, then simply replace the safety device.
- Tuning the VAZ 2110 dashboard is often the reason for its disability. Perhaps the new shield was installed incorrectly, so now it does not work. Or, during installation, not all the wires were connected to the tidy, they could also simply bend. If the problem lies in the wires, then replacing them will solve the problem (the author of the video is LedStyle70).
In fact, most of the malfunctions associated with the functioning of the control panel are often solved independently at home. Especially when it comes to the top ten product of the domestic auto industry. But there are a few things to consider here. If you do not have experience or knowledge in terms of working with electrics and electronics, then you should not engage in self-repairs. Better contact a qualified technician. Let you pay the money, but you will be sure that everything will be done correctly.
