Diagnostics of VAZ cars
Section 2 - "Diagnostics" consists of the following parts:
General information
Information about diagnostic procedures, safety precautions, and the DST-2M diagnostic tool. It also provides a description of the electrical connections of the engine control system and the purpose of the controller connector contacts.
Part "A" and diagnostic cards "A"
Provides initial information on how to carry out diagnostics, including "DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT TEST", diagnostic cards for the malfunction indicator, measures in case of inability to start the engine, and other general cards.
Fault code maps
These cards are used if, when checking the diagnostic circuit, a malfunction code is found in the controller's memory. If there is more than one code, the analysis and elimination of faults must always start with codes P0560 (incorrect on-board voltage) or P0562 (reduced on-board voltage).
Part "B". Diagnostic fault cards.
In the absence of a DTC or its inconsistency, this part helps the mechanic to identify the problem. In these cases, the diagnosis should also begin with a diagnostic circuit check.
Part “C” and diagnostic cards “C” (cards for checking the nodes of the engine control system).
This part contains information on checking specific elements of the engine management system, as well as on their maintenance. It contains information on the elements of the fuel supply system, on the ignition system, etc.
General information
Diagnostics of the engine management system with multipoint fuel injection is quite simple, provided that the procedure is followed.
To carry out diagnostics, no special knowledge in the field of electronics and computer technology is required. It is enough to know the basic concepts of electrical engineering and have the skill of reading simple electrical circuits. In addition, experience with a digital multimeter is required. Of course, a good understanding of the fundamentals of the engine is required.
The first and most important condition for the successful diagnosis of malfunctions of any system is to understand how it works. Before carrying out repairs, it is necessary to clearly understand how a good condition differs from a faulty one.
Acquaintance with Section 1 of the Manual "Design and Repair" is a good start to understand the operation of the system and its elements under normal conditions.
In the descriptions of diagnostics and in the diagnostic cards, certain diagnostic tools are mentioned (see Appendix 2). These diagnostic tools are used for specific purposes, and diagnostic cards describing the diagnostic procedure are based on the use of these tools.
Speaking about diagnostic tools, it is important to remember that none of the special diagnostic tools can replace humans. The diagnostic tool and means do not perform diagnostics for a person and do not exclude the need for diagnostic maps and in describing the procedure for carrying out diagnostics.
It should not be forgotten that there is a basic combustion engine behind the electronics. The performance of the engine management system depends on the health of the mechanical systems.
As a reminder, the following are a number of deviations causing malfunctions that can be mistakenly attributed to the electronic part of the engine control system:
Insufficient compression;
Air leaks;
Limiting the patency of the exhaust system;
Variation in valve timing caused by wear of parts and improper assembly;
Poor fuel quality;
Failure to comply with the terms of maintenance.
2.2 Precautions for diagnostics of VAZ cars
When working on a car, the following requirements must be observed.
1. Before dismantling the controller, disconnect the ground wire from the battery.
2. It is not allowed to start the engine without a reliable battery connection.
3. It is not allowed to disconnect the storage battery from the on-board network when the engine is running.
4. When charging, the battery must be disconnected from the on-board network.
5. It is necessary to check the reliability of the wiring harness contacts and keep the battery terminals clean.
6. Engine control wiring blocks are designed to mate only in a specific orientation.
When oriented correctly, articulation is effortless. A joint with an incorrect orientation can lead to failure of the block, module or other element of the system.
1. Articulation or dismemberment of the ECM elements pads with the ignition on is not allowed.
2. Before carrying out electric welding work, it is necessary to disconnect the wires from the battery and the box from the controller.
3. To avoid corrosion of the contacts when cleaning the engine with a water jet under pressure, do not direct the sprayer at the system elements.
4. To exclude errors and damage to serviceable units, it is not allowed to use control and measuring equipment that is not indicated in the diagnostic cards.
5. Perform voltage measurements using a digital voltmeter with a nominal internal resistance of more than 10 megohms.
6. If the use of a probe with a control lamp is provided, it is necessary to use a lamp of low power (up to 4 W). The use of high-power lamps, for example, from a headlight, is not allowed. If the power of the probe lamp is not known, it is necessary, by a simple test of the lamp, to make sure that it is safe to use it to control the controller circuits.
To do this, it is necessary to connect an accurate ammeter (digital multimeter with low resistance) in series with the probe lamp and supply power from the battery to the "lamp - ammeter" circuit (Fig. 2.2-01).
If the ammeter shows a current less than 0.25 A (250 mA), the lamp is safe to use. If the ammeter shows a current greater than 0.25 A, the use of a lamp is dangerous.
7. The engine management system uses a controller with 81-pin connector, which is located in a hard-to-reach place. Since the terminals inside the connector blocks are inaccessible for connecting external measuring devices, then to check the health of the injection system harness circuits, it is necessary to use special signal splitters (Fig. 2.2-02) connected between the controller and the wiring harness.
8. The electronic devices of the engine control system are vulnerable to electrostatic discharge, therefore, care must be taken when working with them, especially the controller.
ATTENTION. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, do not disassemble the metal case of the controller or touch the connector plugs.
2.1 Description of on-board diagnostics
“On-board diagnostics” is understood as a software and hardware system (controller, sensors, actuators) that performs the following tasks:
1) determination and identification of errors in the functioning of the ECM and the engine, which lead to:
Exceeding the limit values \u200b\u200bfor the toxicity of exhaust gases from cars, which are determined by the environmental standards currently valid in the respective country for cars;
To a decrease in engine power and torque, an increase in fuel consumption, a deterioration in the driving qualities of a car;
Failure of the engine and its components (burnout of pistons due to detonation or damage to the catalytic converter in the event of misfiring of the air-fuel mixture).
2) informing the driver about the presence of a malfunction by turning on the malfunction indicator.
3) saving information about the malfunction. At the moment of detection, the following information is entered into the controller's memory:
Fault code according to international classification (see table 2.3-01);
Status flags (signs) characterizing the malfunction at the time of the information exchange session with the DST-2M diagnostic device;
The so-called freeze frame - the values \u200b\u200bof the parameters important for the ECM at the time of the error registration.
Fault codes and related additional information make it much easier for specialists to troubleshoot the engine management system.
4) activation of emergency operation modes of the ECM. When a malfunction is detected, the system switches to emergency modes of operation to prevent negative consequences (listed above). Their essence lies in the fact that in the event of failure of any sensor or its circuit, the controller uses substitute values \u200b\u200bstored in the EPROM to control the motor. In this case, the car will be able to go to the service station.
5) ensuring interaction with diagnostic equipment. The on-board diagnostics system informs about the presence of a malfunction by turning on the warning device. Then the on-board diagnostics system must provide, using special equipment, the receipt of diagnostic information stored in the controller's memory. For this, a serial information transfer channel is organized in the engine control system, which includes an ECM controller (in the role of a transceiver), a standardized block for connecting a diagnostic device (Fig. 2.3-01, 2.3-02) and a wire connecting them (K- line). In addition to the shoe, the information transfer protocol and the format of the transmitted messages are also standardized. In addition to obtaining information about the identified malfunctions and the state of the engine control system, the on-board diagnostics system allows you to perform a number of verification tests by controlling the executive mechanisms.
ATTENTION. If the vehicle is not equipped with an immobilizer, then to diagnose the engine management system using the DST-2M device, it is necessary to connect the contacts "" 18 "and" 9 "in the block connected to the immobilizer control unit.
The main component of the OBD system is the ECM. In addition to its main task (control of the combustion processes of the fuel mixture), it carries out self-diagnostics.
When performing this function, the controller monitors the signals of various sensors and actuators of the ECM. These signals are compared with reference values \u200b\u200bstored in the controller's memory. And if any signal goes beyond the control values, then the controller evaluates this state as a malfunction (for example, the voltage at the sensor output has become zero - a short circuit to ground), generates and writes in the error memory the corresponding diagnostic information ( see above), turns on the malfunction indicator, and also switches to emergency modes of the ECM.
The on-board diagnostics system starts functioning from the moment the ignition is turned on and stops after the controller goes into “stand by” mode (occurs after the main relay is turned off). The moment of activation of one or another diagnostic algorithm and its operation are determined by the corresponding engine operating modes.
Diagnostic algorithms can be divided into three groups:
1) Diagnostics of sensors. The controller, monitoring the value of the sensor output signal, determines the nature of the malfunction,
2) Diagnostics of ECM actuators (driver diagnostics). The controller checks the control circuits for an open, a short to ground, or a power source.
3) Diagnostics of ECM subsystems (functional diagnostics).
In the engine management system, several subsystems can be distinguished - ignition, fuel supply, maintaining idle speed, neutralizing exhaust gases, capturing gasoline vapors, etc. Functional diagnostics gives an opinion on the quality of their work. In this case, the system no longer monitors individual sensors or executive mechanisms, but the parameters that characterize the operation of the entire subsystem as a whole. For example, the quality of the ignition subsystem can be judged by the presence of misfire in the combustion chambers of the engine. Fuel adaptation parameters provide information about the state of the fuel delivery subsystem. Each of the subsystems has its own requirements for the value of the maximum permissible deviations of its parameters from the average values.
Fault indicator
The malfunction indicator for VAZ-11183, 21101 cars is located in the instrument cluster.
Turning on the indicator signals to the driver that the on-board diagnostic system has detected a malfunction of the ECM and the further movement of the car occurs in emergency mode. In this case, the driver is obliged to place the car at the disposal of the maintenance specialists as soon as possible.
Blinking of the warning lamp indicates the presence of a malfunction that can lead to serious damage to the ECM elements (for example, misfiring can damage the catalytic converter).
When the ignition is turned on, the indicator should light up - in this way the ECM checks the serviceability of the lamp and the control circuit. After starting the engine, the indicator should go out if there are no conditions in the controller's memory for turning it on.
To protect against accidental, short-term errors that can be caused by loss of contact in electrical connectors or unstable engine operation, the indicator turns on after a certain time interval after the ECM malfunction is detected. During this interval, the on-board diagnostic system checks for a malfunction.
After eliminating the causes of the malfunction, the indicator will be turned off after a certain delay time, during which the malfunction does not appear, and provided that there are no other trouble codes in the controller's memory that require the alarm to be turned on.
When clearing (deleting) the fault codes from the controller memory using the diagnostic equipment, the signaling device goes out.
The procedure for diagnosing VAZ cars
All diagnostic work must always begin with "Diagnostic circuit check"
The Diagnostic Circuit Check provides an initial check of the system and then refers the mechanic to other manual cards. It should be the starting point of all work.
The entire manual is structured according to a single scheme, in accordance with which checking the diagnostic circuit sends the mechanic to certain cards, and those, in turn, can be sent to others.
It is necessary to strictly adhere to the sequence indicated in the diagnostic cards. Violation of the diagnostic sequence can lead to incorrect conclusions and replacement of serviceable components.
The diagnostic cards are based on the use of the DST-2M diagnostic device. It provides the mechanic with information about what is happening in the engine control system.
The DST-2M is used to monitor the ECM. The DST-2M device reads and displays the information transmitted by the controller to the diagnostic block.
Diagnostic circuit check
After inspecting the engine compartment, the first step in the entire diagnosis or search for the cause of non-compliance with toxicity standards is to check the diagnostic chain described in section 2.7A.
The correct procedure for diagnosing a malfunction involves the following three basic steps:
1. Checking the performance of the on-board diagnostic system. Verification is carried out by performing a Diagnostic Circuit Check. Since this check is the starting point for diagnostics or searching for the cause of non-compliance with toxicity standards, you must always start with it.
If the on-board diagnostics does not work, the diagnostic circuit check outputs to a specific diagnostic card. If the OBD is working properly, go to step 2.
2. Checking for the presence of up-to-date fault codes. If there are actual codes in the memory of the controller, you must refer directly to the diagnostic cards with the corresponding numbers. If there are no codes, go to step 3.
3. Control of data transmitted by the controller. To do this, you need to read the information using the DST-2M device.
The description of the device and the parameters it displays are shown below. Typical parameter values \u200b\u200bfor specific operating conditions are given in Table 2.4-01.
You can find error codes of malfunctions of cars VAZ 2110, VAZ 2112, VAZ 2114, 2115, Lada Kalina, Priora
Diagnostic cards of VAZ cars
Almost every owner of a 16-valve VAZ-2112 has come across the fact that. They indicate malfunctions in the engine system and other important components. The first sign that malfunctions have occurred is the appearance on the dashboard of the "Check Engine" indicator... But, not all motorists know what this means. Therefore, it is necessary to connect to the ECU and establish what is the error and malfunction in the system.

How to read errors?
In order to read the errors, it is necessary to connect to a laptop or tablet PC to the car via a special K-line cable. Consider what tools will be needed to connect the car to the computer and determine the error codes:
In order to connect, you need to find a connector for the cable. It is located under the steering column. Now you need to connect the cable itself and then the USB connector. The following programs are considered optimal for use: VAG-COM USB KKL adapter; diagnostic program VAZ for models, Priora, Kalina, Grant; USB driver Autocom cdp pro cars USB; ScanMaster 2.1 in Russian for ELM327.
Car diagnostics using a laptop
Troubleshoot and reset
Eliminating ECU errors is easy enough. In the program for reading it is necessary to find the required fault and decode it. Then, it is recommended to fix the problem for which the error occurred. The final step is reset. It can be found in program tools or actions.
Many car enthusiasts make a mistake when working with the software, since they do not “reset” the errors themselves, but the entire software, thus leaving only the vehicle software shell. After such actions, usually, the car may not start and requires software adjustment of the equipment or replacement of the entire software in general. Therefore, it is recommended in this case to contact a car service, where they will do everything right.
conclusions
Errors of the electronic control unit on a 16-valve VAZ-2112 engine occur quite often. Usually, they are accompanied by the indicator "Check Engine" or inoperability of one of the systems. So, eliminating mistakes with your own hands does not always end well, therefore, when performing an operation, you should be quite careful. If you are not sure that everything will go smoothly, it is recommended to contact a car service to avoid breakdowns.
Electrical repair
We will tell and show the self-diagnosis mode of the instrument panel VAZ 2110 2112 2111, decipher the error codes of the VDO panel. In order to start the instrument panel self-diagnosis mode, you need to turn the key in the ignition and at the same time hold down the daily mileage reset button. When the mode is turned on, then all the arrows must reach "to the end" and go back, so you can check the performance of all sensors, devices, bulbs, the arrows themselves. Then one more time we make a single click on the mileage reset button, the firmware version will be written in the information window, in our case it is 1.1, click again on our button and see the error codes. To reset errors, press the button and hold for a while:
The number "0" that appears on the screen indicates that all errors have been cleared. We repeat the entire procedure from the very beginning to make sure that we have no mistakes.
Decoding of VDO error codes:
0 means there are no errors at all.
1 microprocessor defective.
4 means that the on-board network supply voltage is over 16 Volts
8 error, on the contrary, showing undervoltage, less than 8 volts.
The following errors may appear: 6, 10, 12, 14 - they mean several faults at the same time, i.e. are summed up, 6 (this is 2 + 4), etc.
To be honest, there is little sense from these readings, the simplest diagnostic device will show much more and in all details. An additional on-board computer also displays all major errors, we take readings from all systems.
Video of the self-diagnosis mode of the instrument panel VAZ 2110 2112 2111:
In a VAZ 2114 car, the manufacturer installed an on-board computer, thanks to which you can find out about the presence of a malfunction in time and fix it in a timely manner before the problem worsens. But on the display, errors are displayed in the form of numbers - special codes that require decoding, since they themselves do not carry any meaning.
Possible malfunctions of the VAZ 2114 car, the meaning and decoding of the on-board computer error codes
It is possible to distinguish only 2 groups of errors, the codes of which are displayed by the on-board computer VAZ 2114. Errors from the first group occur much more often than the others, so we will give a few of the most common:
- "P1602" is an error code that signals the presence of problems with the engine controller. The computer display can often show this code, which indicates the need to replace the controller.
- The "P0340" (or "P0343") error occurs when the crankshaft position sensor malfunctions or completely fails.
- "Р0217" signals overheating of the car engine or the need to replace the engine oil.
These are far from all the errors that arise during the operation of the VAZ 2114. A complete list can be found in one of the diagnostic software files, and a list of the most common errors will be given later in this article.
Nuances of self-diagnosis vaz 2114
When carrying out diagnostics at specialized service stations and independently, various results and error codes can be obtained. Not all drivers know that it is possible to identify faults without an on-board computer. An odometer is used for this. A significant drawback of such diagnostics is the addition of the error numbers into a single sum. For example, if error 8 and 1 occur, the odometer will display the number 9. The instrument memory is not automatically cleared, therefore error codes will be displayed until manually reset by disconnecting the battery terminals for a few seconds.
Reset error "checkengine"
As you can see from the video, the error can be reset by following these steps:
- Stop the engine, but leave the ignition on.
- Disconnect the car battery terminal and wait a few seconds.
- Reinstall the terminal and start the engine.
An error after these actions will be cleared, but if it is caused by a serious malfunction in the engine, it will occur again. In this case, the best option would be to contact the service station.
Definition and decoding of errors on the VAZ 2114
Self-diagnosis of the car allows you to identify malfunctions, but some of them can be detected extremely rarely. An odometer is used for diagnostics.
Self-diagnosis vaz 2114
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- Press and hold the odometer button and set the ignition key to the first position.
- Release the odometer button and briefly press again. This will display the firmware version.
- Now, to see the error codes, you must press and release the odometer button again.
Error codes are in the form of numbers from 1 to 9 and two-digit numbers, in contrast to those displayed by the on-board computer. Thus, it is possible to identify some malfunctions of the car using the odometer. The most common errors are shown in the table below.
VAZ 2114 error code table
| The code | Error description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Microprocessor malfunctions |
| 2 | Fuel level sensor problems |
| 4 | Exceeding the permissible voltage in the mains |
| 8 | Mains voltage too low |
| 13 | No signal from the oxygen sensor |
| 14 | Very high signal level of the coolant temperature sensor |

| 41 | Incorrect phase sensor signals |
| 51, 52 | Problems with the ROM and RAM of the device, respectively |
| 53 | CO potentiometer does not work |
| 61 | Problems with the lambda probe |
Diagnostics of malfunctions using special equipment
To troubleshoot a service station, a car's on-board computer and a laptop with specialized applications are usually used. In this case, you can get error codes that correspond to various problems. The most common ones are shown in the table.
| The code | Error description |
|---|---|
| P0102, P0103 | The MAF sensor is sending the wrong signal. |
| P0122, P0123 | The throttle sensor provides incorrect information. |
| P0130-P0134 | There is a malfunction in the oxygen sensor or damage to the wiring connecting it to the system. |
| P0201-P0204 | Clogged or short circuit injectors or breakage of the wiring of their sensor. |
| P0300 | Ignition problems (skips). |
| P0335, P0336 | The knock sensor is not working properly. |
| P0351, P0352 | Ignition coils are not functioning properly. When displaying such error codes, the engine may "triple". This problem can also be signaled by errors P2301 and P2304. |
| P0480 | The cooling fan is not working. |
| P0505, P0506, P0507 | The idle sensor is defective. |
| P1602 | There is no power supply to the on-board network (the most common error). |
| R1689 | Malfunctions in the on-board computer. Please note that it will issue incorrect error codes in this case. |
If errors occur with other codes, you should familiarize yourself with the information about them in the file that is included with the application for car diagnostics, or search the Internet.
The controller clears the memory after turning off the engine along with the ignition and disconnecting power from the battery for 10-15 seconds. In this way, after repair, you can determine whether the malfunction has been eliminated.
Errors in VAZ 2114 occur quite often, so the skills of recognizing them will not be superfluous for carrying out the correct car repair. For correct diagnostics, you need a computer with a special program and an understanding of the readings of the on-board computer.
In this article, we will tell you how easy it is to carry out independent computer diagnostics, as well as related repairs to VAZ cars (2105, 2107, 2108, 2109, 2110, 2112, 2114, 2115, Priora, Kalina).
If your car has a check engine error or you are worried about fuel consumption, read the article, we will teach you how to identify such implicit problems.
If your engine isn't pulling, dips appear, or the car jerks, the problem could also be in the car's electronics or sensors. Also, do not chop off the shoulder and run to a car service, perhaps the problem is solved very simply, with minimal material costs. We read our article.
So, let's begin…
No car, especially a Russian-made car, is immune from malfunctions. The most annoying thing in this situation is if the problem is not obvious, such as faulty electronics or sensor. The first thought in such a situation is to immediately run to the auto electrician, let him solve these seemingly overly complex problems. But! ... Is it worth paying that much money for a job that any car enthusiast can handle at home, using a laptop or even using a mobile phone !?
Each injection car, without exception, has a diagnostic connector; for VAZ cars after 2004, it looks like this (see photo). Most often, the connector is located under the steering column of the car.
In order to connect a car to a laptop, you need a special adapter (see photo).
This adapter is inexpensive when compared with the cost of computer diagnostics of the engine in a car service. You can order this adapter on the website www.diagnost7.ru.
The adapter fits all Russian cars, without exception, and even some foreign cars.
Complete with adapter, software for car diagnostics is supplied.
