Electrical diagram of VAZ-1111 and VAZ-11113 cars

VAZ-1111 especially small class passenger cars are equipped with 12-volt electrics with a negative terminal connected to the car body. The cars were equipped with carburetor and injection power units, which had little effect on the location and purpose of the circuits. The VAZ-1111 electrical circuit, which is basic for all versions of the Oka, can be used when repairing a car of any year of assembly.

What is included in the Oka electrical circuit?

The vehicle electrical system includes the following components:

  • contactless ignition system;
  • ignition switch with contact group and auxiliary relays;
  • alternating current generator with built-in control unit;
  • an electric DC motor used to start the power unit;
  • external lighting and alarm system, together with wiring and controls;
  • a sound signal warning other road users;
  • front and rear window cleaners and washers;
  • electric heating of the glass surface on the tailgate;
  • control of the air supply system through the heater;
  • instrument cluster with control indicator lamps;
  • A fuse block that protects circuits from excessive current (caused by a short circuit or component failure).

Voltage sources for electrical operation are:

  1. Battery located in the engine compartment. The device is used to start the power unit and provide electricity to consumers when the engine is not running.
  2. A generator driven by the crankshaft of a motor. The product is designed to replenish the battery charge and ensures the operation of the electrics while the car is moving.

Separation by purpose

By purpose, the equipment is divided into:

  • Power supplies;
  • Protective means;
  • Controls;
  • Instrumentation;
  • Actuators;

Some circuit components have dual purposes. These include relays, which are both control elements and protective devices.

Power supplies

Power sources include the battery and generator. The battery powers the electricity. devices and ensures their operation when the power unit is turned off. After starting the engine, the on-board network is powered from the generator, which also ensures that the battery is recharged.

Protective components

Protective means prevent burnout of electrical appliances and electrical circuits during short circuits. The main protective elements are fuses. For convenience, all protective elements are collected in one place - the fuse box, which in Oka is located under the front panel on the driver’s side.

Controls

Control elements include all components responsible for turning on, switching and turning off electrical appliances. This category combines the ignition switch, all kinds of switches and switches. Most of these elements are located within direct reach of the driver - on the front panel, steering column. But there are switches that the driver acts on through certain components - brake light switches, a sensor for turning on the choke warning light, etc.

instrumentation

Control and measuring devices provide the driver with information about the operation of certain components and mechanisms, operational indicators - fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, etc. Some types of these devices display accurate information, while others are presented in the form of warning lamps that are triggered only when an emergency occurs. malfunctions.

How does a switch work?

Essentially, a switch is a simple signal amplifier. It can even be compared to a Darlington assembly, which is used in microcontroller technology to convert a weak signal from an output port to the required level. The basis of this assembly is field-effect transistors operating in switch mode. An operating voltage is applied to them, a signal is sent to the control terminal, which is amplified and removed from the collector.

The ignition switch has an almost similar operating scheme. Only the signal from the Hall sensor is used. It has three outputs - control, common, plus power. When a metal plate appears in the sensor area, a current is generated, which is supplied to the input of the switch. Next, the signal is amplified and supplied to the primary winding of the coil. The entire system is powered only after the ignition is turned on (after turning the key).

Electrical diagram of SeAZ-11116

On SeAZ-11116 cars with a Europanel and a Chinese 3-cylinder engine, the electrics have undergone changes. The cars use an electronic instrument cluster, which has led to the emergence of a number of new sensors. The fuel supply system was changed, into which a fuel pump with a control relay was introduced. Big innovations appeared in the engine compartment, where a fuel injection and ignition control system began to be installed. At the same time, the main part of the wiring, the fuse and relay box was carried over unchanged from the old carburetor version.

Additional relays

Depending on the configuration and design, additional relay placement is possible.

Common electrical faults

Common problems with electrical equipment on VAZ-1111 and 1113:

  1. Failure of external lighting devices. A common cause of failure is burnt out lamp filament; the unit must be replaced. If the light bulb is intact, then there may be a defect in the electrical wiring, due to which a short circuit occurs and the fuse fails. The fuse link is replaced with an identical one; it is prohibited to use parts designed for a higher current. It is also unacceptable to install homemade jumpers (“bugs”), as this can cause a fire. If a repeated burnout occurs, it is necessary to check the circuit and eliminate the wiring fault.
  2. Wire breaks occur at points where the insulation is subject to bending or friction against moving surfaces. An example of such a point is the junction of the door and the body. Damaged areas must be replaced with products made of similar material with an identical cross-section.
  3. Oxidation of contact surfaces due to moisture or aggressive liquids (for example, battery electrolyte). It is necessary to clean the surfaces down to metal, restoring the transmission of electric current.
  4. Relay failure associated with burnt contacts or coil breakage. The unit cannot be repaired; it must be replaced with a new one. In the event of a rapid re-failure, the vehicle's electrical system must be checked at a car service center.
  5. Sudden battery discharge is due to an internal short or current leakage. In winter, a partially charged battery may lose capacity due to low air temperatures. You need to charge the battery and check the condition of the wiring. If necessary, the power source must be replaced.
  6. Pulsating operation of external lighting lamps with an unusually bright glow indicates a breakdown of the relay regulator on the generator. Repair requires removing the unit and replacing failed components.
  7. Insufficient battery charge (the warning light does not go out when the engine is running). The cause may be wear on the brushes or commutator, or insufficient tension on the drive belt. The generator needs to be repaired, since the battery charge is enough for 150-200 km during the daytime.
  8. Poor contact between the ends of the cylindrical fuses and the spring-loaded elements in the mounting block. It arises due to the design features of the unit. Many owners, tired of dealing with the defect, install homemade blocks for knife inserts. Usually a short section from the GAZ-3110 is used, designed for 13 seats. There are self-assembled units designed for fuses and relays.

Connecting the switch

Cases vary, and it is possible that you will have to change the wiring. Therefore, you will need to take into account the purpose of all pins on the switch plug. This will allow the connection to be made correctly, and there will be no risk of damaging it. The first pin of the switch is the output. In other words, the amplified signal is removed from it. It must be connected to the terminal of the “K” coil. The second contact is connected to ground - the negative of the battery.

All three wires from the Hall sensor go to the VAZ switch. Moreover, the signal wire is connected to the sixth terminal of the switch. The fifth is the power output (the voltage on it is stable 12 Volts). The third output of the switch is ground (minus power). The third is connected inside the block to the second. But between the fourth, which is supplied with power from the battery, and the fifth there is a constant resistance and a voltage stabilizer.

Preventive measures

The main measures to ensure reliable operation of the electrics of Oka cars:

  1. At least once every six months, clean the outer part of the battery case and check the electrolyte level (on serviced models). At the same time, it is necessary to recharge the battery using a special device. If the vehicle is rarely used, it is recommended to disconnect the terminals.
  2. When carrying out repair work, you should monitor the position of the wires, avoiding damage to the insulating layer. Wires passing near moving elements must not come into contact with them under any circumstances.
  3. It is not recommended to turn on devices with high current consumption (audio system, high beam headlights, etc.) with the engine off. This will cause the battery to drain faster.
  4. Do not use homemade elements to repair electrical circuits. All used parts and assemblies must comply with the standards laid down by the designer when developing the car.
  5. It is recommended to carry spare fuses, relays and lamps with you. This will allow you to make minor repairs if necessary.
  6. When carrying out repair work that requires the use of welding, it is necessary to disconnect the harnesses from the battery and generator. On machines equipped with an injection engine, it is recommended to disconnect the connector from the control unit.

Contactless ignition system

In total, there are three huge groups of systems - contact, contactless, microprocessor. The first is divided into two subgroups - contact and using a transistor operating in switch mode. Transistors are also used in the design of a contactless ignition system. This scheme began to be actively used in the early 80s of the last century. And it has a number of advantages, which will be discussed below. The switch circuit is simple; it can be implemented both on transistors and on a controller.

But the contactless ignition system also has many disadvantages when compared with a microprocessor one. The latter allows you to control almost all engine parameters. BSZ does not allow this; it also cannot be used normally on injection engines. The reason for the obsolescence of the contactless system lies not only in the development of electronics and the automotive industry, but also in the adoption of stringent measures to ensure the environmental friendliness of internal combustion engines. Unfortunately, only microprocessor control can reduce the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust.

General diagram for Oka with description of elements

Of the main components of the VAZ electrical circuit, it is necessary to highlight:

  1. Generator. Without it, not a single car can operate. Thanks to the generator unit, power is provided to the main equipment, as well as electrical appliances while driving. In addition, when the car is moving, this device charges the battery to restore its charge wasted on powering electrical appliances and starting the engine.
  2. Battery. If it is discharged, normal operation of the car will also be impossible. As stated above, the battery allows you to power the main equipment when the engine is not running, and also provides a charge when it starts.
  3. Safety block. It contains the main relays and safety elements that protect the vehicle's electrical circuits in the event of a short circuit or power surge.

Division by function

As for functions, all electrical equipment is divided into systems that perform specific tasks:

  • Take part in the operation of the engine;
  • Ensure traffic safety;
  • Create comfortable conditions;

There are also systems that are aimed at maintaining the functionality of the electrical circuit itself.

Systems responsible for engine operation

The ignition system takes part in the operation of the power unit and its task is to generate a spark in the engine cylinders to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The components of this system are a switch, a spark torque sensor, a coil and spark plugs. The system is turned on using the ignition switch. All of these components are connected by one circuit, the diagram of which is shown below:

The second system related to electrical equipment and working with the engine is the starting system. To start the engine, a power electric motor is used - a starter, controlled from the same ignition switch. Its scheme is as follows:

The cooling system fan is also related to the engine.

Systems responsible for safety and comfort

Electrical equipment that ensures traffic safety includes:

  • Light and sound alarm (turn signals, brake lights, reversing lights, sound signal);
  • Main light (headlights, PTF);
  • Heaters, glass cleaners and washers;

These devices are combined into several systems. Below is the power supply diagram for only one of them - the turn signals:

Since the Oka is a budget car, there are not so many electrical appliances that create comfortable conditions for the driver. These include a stove (which includes an electric fan motor), an interior lamp and a cigarette lighter.

Note that the stove, in addition to creating convenience, also affects traffic safety - it heats the windows in winter.

Since devices responsible for traffic safety and comfort are not always in demand, they are turned off by default and are activated using switches.

The on-board network also includes a battery recharging system, that is, a component whose task is to maintain the functionality of electrical equipment. Its connection diagram is as follows:

Common faults

All malfunctions in the wiring on the VAZ 2111 Oka can be divided into several groups:

  1. Failure of the device itself. For example, if we are talking about headlights, then the lamps in them may burn out. If the rear window heating system refuses to work, then the unit itself may be faulty.
  2. Broken electrical wiring. As a rule, this problem is more relevant for wires that are laid in places where there are moving or rubbing elements. For example, wires from door locks are laid in the doors themselves, and to connect to the fuse box they are laid in special rubber corrugations. Despite such protection, wires can also break in the corrugation.
  3. No contact. The lack of contact may be due to either a broken wire or oxidation of the contact; in some cases, it may simply move away from the installation socket. In case of oxidation, the problem is solved by stripping.
  4. The fuse or relay has blown. This happens especially often in cars where there are power surges. The fuse simply cannot withstand the power of the on-board network and fails, thus protecting the device from burnout. If your car actually has power surges, then you need to either check the on-board network yourself or contact an electrician.
  5. Also one of the most common malfunctions is battery discharge. Car owners usually face this problem with the onset of cold weather; in some cases, it may be due to improper maintenance (the author of the video is the Milin0915 channel).

Maintenance, repair

Of all the car’s electrical appliances, only power supplies require maintenance:

  • Battery (periodic recharging using chargers, monitoring the level and density of the electrolyte);
  • Generator (periodic check of drive tension, replacement of worn graphite brushes).

It is also important to monitor the condition of the wire insulation and prevent it from being damaged to avoid a short circuit. Oxidation of contacts often occurs at the wiring junctions, which can lead to failure of electrical appliances.

Most of the electrical network components are maintenance-free and must be replaced if they fail. Such elements include light bulbs, small electric motors, switches, relays, fuses, and sensors.

In the starter, generator, electric. In the heater and cooling system fan motors, mechanical breakdowns may occur - wear of bearings, bushings, brushes. All these components are repairable and it is often possible to restore their functionality by disassembling, troubleshooting and installing new parts to replace worn ones.

Prevention measures

What you need to consider to prevent problems with electrical equipment:

  1. If you notice voltage surges or short circuits, immediately contact an electrician or fix the problem yourself.
  2. Carry out regular battery maintenance, at least twice a year. During maintenance, pay attention to diagnosing the liquid level in the cans, inspect the body for damage, and also charge the battery to replenish its discharge.
  3. When laying wiring, all wires must be securely insulated.
  4. Do not turn on the appliances, radio or heater at full power if the engine is not running. This will cause the battery to drain faster.
  5. Never install homemade safety devices (in the form of a jumper, wire or coin) into the fuse box.

Basic Switch Elements

The switch circuit is quite simple, but making this unit yourself is pointless, since buying a ready-made version will be much easier. Installation must be carried out as competently as possible, otherwise the device will not operate correctly. In addition, when using transistors, you need to carefully select them according to their parameters, and for this you need to have high-quality measuring equipment. Unfortunately, for two identical semiconductors, the spread of characteristics can be very large. And this affects the operation of the device.

Since model 37.3701 is the most common, we will consider it in the future, but almost all the information is relevant for other types of generators.

The design of the generator is standard for this type of device; the unit consists of:

  • Rotor (with slip rings);
  • Stator;
  • Covers (front, back);
  • Pulley (with impeller);
  • Voltage regulator (also includes a brush holder with brushes);
  • Capacitor;
  • Rectifier.

The design also includes rotor bearings and tie bolts, which assemble the unit into a single unit. In general, the generator circuit is standard and does not stand out in any way.

The unit belongs to the attached equipment of the power plant; it is installed on the left in the lower part of the engine compartment on the left in front of the engine. Fastening at the bottom of the unit is carried out by bolting through lugs, and at the top - using a strip.

The generator is driven from the crankshaft via a belt drive . The Oka generator belt is V-shaped, and it drives only this unit. The drive tension is adjusted by moving the device along the adjustment bar.

Ignition settings

When setting up the ignition, you will need to do the most important thing - install the shafts according to the marks so that the gas distribution functions synchronously with the operation of the piston group. This is the first thing you should do before you start adjusting the ignition. It is worth noting that there should not be any particular difficulties during setup, especially on VAZ 2108-21099 cars. The thing is that the ignition distributor on the engines of these machines can only be installed in one position. Moreover, the ignition switch does not undergo any settings during this procedure, since it does not have any.

The distributor body rotates around its axis to make more precise adjustments. And this turns out to be enough. To accurately set the torque, you can use a simple circuit that uses a simple LED as an indicator. The Hall sensor is disconnected from the system, and positive power is supplied to its negative terminal. An LED is switched on between “+” and the signal LED, and a 2 kOhm resistance is connected in series with it to reduce the voltage. But the plus of the Hall sensor is connected to ground. Now all that remains is to slowly rotate the distributor housing. The moment when the diode lights up will be the desired one.

Disassembly

Disassembling the generator, in general, is not difficult, with the exception of one point - removing the pulley. You can fix the rotor in order to loosen the pulley fastening nut using a special tool. device An alternative removal option is to fix the pulley itself in a vice using elastic attachments (for example, a belt can be placed between the pulley and the jaws).

The general operating technology of the generator is as follows:

  • Remove the pulley (using a tool or a vice);
  • Disconnect the capacitor wire and dismantle the capacitor itself;

  • Unscrew the regulator mount and remove it;
  • Unscrew the coupling bolts;
  • Use a puller to tighten the front cover;

  • Remove the rotor;
  • Unscrew the fasteners of the stator leads to the rectifier;
  • Remove the stator;
  • Unscrew the nuts securing the rectifier to the back cover;
  • Remove the rectifier;

After disassembly, all that remains is to remove the front bearing, which is installed in the front cover, for which you need to unscrew the bolts holding the fastening washers together.

Having finished disassembling, we clean all parts and troubleshoot. Some types of faults can be determined visually, but for such faults as breaks and short circuits of the windings, the Oka generator needs to be checked using measuring instruments. For example, to test the regulator, you need a charger with regulated voltage.

This component is checked like this:

  • We connect a charger to the output and ground of the regulator, and a 12-volt light bulb (control) to the brushes;
  • We apply a voltage of 12 volts, and the lamp should light up;
  • We increase the voltage to 15 V (in a working regulator the control should go out);

If the lamp does not light up at 12 V or does not go out at 15 V, the regulator is faulty and requires replacement. As for the stator windings, it is better to entrust their inspection to an experienced auto electrician.

Assembly of the unit is carried out in reverse order. In this case, special attention should be paid to the correct connection of the generator , or rather all its terminals and wires.

If an auto electrician determines that the device cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced with a new one. And what makes the generator suitable for Oka is indicated above.
