Instrument panel VAZ 2109 - designation of icons and buttons on the dashboard

The meaning of the indication on the instrument panel of the VAZ 2109

On VAZ 2108 2109 21099 cars there are three options for the instrument panel: 1) Low instrument panel. 2) High instrument panel. 3) Euro instrument panel. The instrument panel is the organ of interaction between the car and the driver. With its help, the driver knows information about the state of all components of the car. That is, the driver receives all the information by looking at the icons and instruments on the instrument panel. Especially novice drivers need to know and understand the instrument panel display. So, the very first, and probably the most popular option for the instrument panel is a low instrument panel.

Low instrument panel

1a - speedometer, to indicate the speed of the vehicle. 2a - coolant temperature indicator. Designed to display engine temperature. The driver must control the engine temperature to prevent overheating. 3a - voltmeter - indication of on-board network voltage. The problem with the low panel is that the voltmeter needle very often twitches along with the direction indicators. This happens due to a voltage drop in the wires from the battery to the mounting block. 4a - fuel level indicator, for monitoring the fuel level in the tank by the driver of the car. 5a - the indicator lamp for the reserve fuel balance begins to blink first and then light up when there are three liters of fuel left in the tank. 6a - econometer - shows the vacuum in the engine input manifold. If you drive when the needle is not in the yellow zone, you will save gas. 7a - daily mileage counter. The driver can reset this counter at his own discretion. 8a - total mileage counter. Total mileage of the vehicle. 9a - “STOP” control panel. It lights up when the car is parked with the handbrake, and also when the fuel level in the brake fluid reservoir is low. 10a - battery charge indicator lamp. If it lights up with the engine running, it means the battery is not charging. 11a - control lamp for covering the carburetor air damper. If it lights up, it means the air intake is not closed. 12a - warning lamp for turning on the hazard warning lights. 13a - warning lamp for low brake fluid level. 14a - indicator lamp for turning on the parking brake. 15a - warning lamp for emergency drop in oil pressure. One of the most important light bulbs on the VAZ instrument panel. If the light remains on while the engine is running, the engine may seize due to lack of oil. 16a - indicator lamp for turning on the direction indicators, blinks when the direction switches are on. 17a - control lamp for turning on the side lights, lights up both when the side lights are on and when the headlights are on low beam. 18a - indicator lamp for turning on the rear fog lights. Rear fog lights only work in conjunction with low beam headlights. 19a - control lamp for turning on the high beam headlights. 20a - control lamp for turning on the heated glass of the tailgate.

The high instrument panel differs from the low one in the arrangement of the light bulbs. Contains some light bulbs that are not on the low panel, as well as a tachometer.

High instrument panel

1b - speedometer, to indicate vehicle speed and mileage. 2b — handle for resetting the daily mileage counter; 3b - daily mileage counter. The driver can reset this counter at his own discretion. 4b - total mileage counter. 5b - fuel level indicator, for monitoring the fuel level in the tank by the driver of the car. 6b - light panel of the on-board control system. 7b - “TEST” display, system test when starting the car. 8b — “STOP” sign. 9b - warning lamp for failure of brake light lamps and side lights. 10b - warning lamp for low brake fluid level. If it lights up or blinks on bumps, then you need to check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. 11b - warning lamp for low coolant level; if it lights up, it means you need to add coolant to the expansion tank. 12b - indicator lamp for front brake pad wear. This lamp lights up when the sensor installed on the front brakes is working. If the light comes on, it means either the brake pads are worn out or the sensor is working falsely. In rainy weather, many people complain that this sensor responds falsely. 13b - warning lamp for level drop in the washer reservoir. If the light comes on, add washer fluid to the reservoir. 14b - warning lamp for low oil level in the engine crankcase. It is very important to understand the difference between oil level and oil pressure. This light comes on when the oil level in the engine crankcase is low. Not to be confused with the oil pressure sensor. 15b - coolant temperature indicator. Designed to display engine temperature. The driver must control the engine temperature to prevent overheating. 16b - tachometer, shows engine speed. 17b - indicator lamp for turning on the parking brake. 18b - “CHECK ENGINE” control lamp for the injection system. That is, this light bulb is intended for models with an injector. It is issued by the electronic control unit if it sees some kind of error in the electronic injection system. 19b - control lamp for covering the carburetor air damper. Indicates that the carburetor air damper is not fully open, that is, the choke is turned on. 20b - the indicator lamp for the reserve fuel balance begins to blink first and then light up when there are three liters of fuel left in the tank. 21b - warning lamp for drop in oil pressure in the engine lubrication system. Indicates that there is no oil pressure when the engine is running, which means the engine may seize. 22b - control lamp for turning on the right turn indicators, blinks when the right turn is turned on. 23b - battery charge indicator lamp; if it lights up with the engine running, it means the battery charging is not working. 24b - control lamp for turning on the left turn indicators, blinks when a left turn is turned on. 25b - warning lamp for unfastened seat belts. The seat belt buckles have sensors that turn off the light when the seat belts are fastened. 26b - warning lamp for open doors. Indication that a door is not closed operates from limit switches that operate on the door. 27b - indicator lamp for turning on the side lights, lights up both with side lights and low beam headlights. 28b - control lamp for turning on the high beam headlights; 29b - “CHECK ENGINE” warning lamp (“Check engine”) of the toxicity reduction system.

That is, if the car has an injection system, then this light will not work, since it is for carburetor models.

Fuel level sensor

Especially for those car owners who want to see accurate data and are looking for a suitable type of sensor, we offer a table for your reference:

The optimal choice would be the sensor number 2108-3827010-01. Its reading is approximately as follows: the middle of the scale indicates a level of 20 liters, and the red zone begins when the tank contains about 5 liters of fuel.

In any case, when you buy a sensor, test it for resistance: the best option for you is a sensor that shows 360 ohms when the tank is empty.

Instrument cluster

Today, VAZ 2109 cars that can be found on domestic roads, no matter whether they have carburetors or injectors, are equipped with three types of electronic devices. It can be a low panel, a high panel or a Europanel. Let's consider the description of each type separately.

"Low" panel

Low version of the control panel
Let's start with the low version. A detailed explanation of the scheme is given in the table.

"High" panel

Instrument cluster on a high panel
Below is a high-type VAZ 2109 instrument panel with electronic backlight. Relevant for both injectors and carburetors. You will find a decoding of the circuit and combinations according to the instructions below.

"Europanel"

Variant of the control panel on the VAZ Europanel
Now let's move on to considering the combination of an electronic instrument panel of the Europanel type with backlight. It should be immediately noted that the description of the components below is almost identical to the low-type electronic panel.

There are more lights and indicators here than on the carburetor. Additional light bulbs available:

• requirement to check the engine;
• STOP light.

The decoding described at the beginning of the article can be fully used as an example for this point.

Stop light on the dash 2109

The lamp signals the driver about the presence of unexpected problems in the on-board circuits. When such an inscription is activated on the device, it is recommended to immediately go to a service station and look for the cause.

Possible faults

What malfunctions are typical for the dashboards of VAZ cars? Check out the main list after watching a video about connecting the shield from a VAZ 2110 to a “nine” (the author of the video is Garage BFS).

1. The speedometer does not work. There may be several reasons for this - a broken cable, its incorrect installation or wear of the socket. You should try disconnecting the cable and reconnecting it.
2. The odometer, which records the mileage of the vehicle, does not work. This problem is usually resolved by replacing the device.
3. One or another indicator does not light up. Perhaps the sensor itself has failed or the light bulb has burned out.
4. The instrument panel backlight does not work. This is usually due to burnt out bulbs or bad contacts. There may also be problems in the electrical circuit, but this happens rarely.
5. The coolant or oil level sensor is giving incorrect information. For example, the driver is warned about a lack of engine fluid level or boiling refrigerant in the expansion tank, but in fact, with these parameters everything is normal. The problem is usually solved by replacing the sensors.

Tuning ideas

There are several tuning options for the dashboard of VAZ cars:

1. Installation of a new, modernized dashboard. The range of such devices on the modern market is quite large - consumers are offered many different options for control panels, differing in price and characteristics. As a rule, these are digital devices. The difficulty of this method is that the car owner will have to redo the connectors for connecting the dashboard, and it is also possible that changes will have to be made to the firmware of the control unit.
2. Using overlays. One of the most popular and simple types of tuning. In this case, the overlays are mounted on top of the existing instrument scale - instead of the standard scales of the speedometer, tachometer, temperature sensor, gasoline level, etc. Installing the trim involves dismantling the tidy, as well as removing the arrows from the scale. You can purchase such overlays without any problems on the Internet, and if necessary, you can even download them from the Internet.
3. Using LEDs. This option is one of the simplest in terms of execution. Its essence lies in removing factory lamps and installing brighter and more beautiful LED light sources instead. Such a simple upgrade will significantly improve the appearance of the control panel, as well as increase its illumination. But you need to understand that there should be enough light, since bright tidy can distract the attention of the motorist. There should be no problems with replacing lamps; they are simply dismantled and new ones are installed in their place. But if you decide to use an LED strip, then you need to take into account that it will have to be soldered to the board, in this case you need to be more careful and attentive.
4. Shield trim. This type of tuning can be classified as external, since it will only affect the appearance of the instrument shell. Its implementation is relevant if the shield is worn out or has damage.

Installation and repair instructions

If you are faced with the problem of a failure of the dashboard of a VAZ 2109 vehicle, then the best option would be to replace the dashboard yourself. To properly replace, you will need instructions for dismantling and installing the shield, which are given below. To perform these steps, you only need screwdrivers - flat-head and Phillips-head. The instructions are given on the example of a low panel, but in general they are identical for other versions of instrument panels. Don't forget to disconnect the battery!

Unscrew the screws of the shield visor. Disconnect the speedometer cable. Disconnect the ecometer hose.

1. First of all, you need to de-energize the system; to do this, disconnect the terminals from the battery.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the plastic trim around the steering wheel. You don’t have to remove it, but it is advisable to do so for greater convenience.
3. You can also disconnect the steering column switches by simply unplugging the wiring harness.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two small screws securing the dashboard visor and remove this element.
5. After these steps, you can compress the springs and remove the electronic panel from the center console.
6. The next step is to disconnect the speedometer cable. It is necessary to be very careful when dismantling so as not to damage the cable, especially if it is old. Otherwise, it will need to be replaced.
7. Next, turn off the white outlet and remove the econometer hose.
8. Then you should disconnect the cable for resetting the car’s daily mileage data from the speedometer.
9. The final step will be to disconnect the red connector and dismantle the shield itself. A new panel is replaced and installed, after which further assembly is carried out in the reverse order.

As you can see, the procedure for replacing the instrument panel is not particularly complicated - just do everything in accordance with the instructions and there will be no problems in the further operation of the device.

Low version dismantling procedure

A low dashboard is used in some VAZ-2109 cars, as well as in the Baltika modification. If the situation forced you to disassemble this part of the interior, then do the work like this:

1. First of all, remove the 3 knobs from the panel for switching stove modes.
2. Removing the airflow control knob is simple - slightly pull it towards you.
3. On both sides of the shield, remove the fasteners of the decorative trim, then slide it towards you.
4. Disconnect the connectors with wires from the fog lights and heated rear window switches. There is another wire going to the latter that needs to be disconnected.
5. De-energize the hazard light switch and the cigarette lighter illumination.
6. Now you can begin to remove the cigarette lighter wiring and decorative trim from the stove.
7. On the stove control element you will see 4 fasteners that will need to be removed.
8. Next, remove the 2 fasteners from the instrument panel.
9. Remove the dashboard visor.
10. Compress the spring clips and remove the housing from the instrument cluster.
11. Unscrew the speedometer fastener and disconnect it from the drive cable.
12. On the instrument panel, find the block with white wires and disconnect it from the power.
13. Find the econometer fitting and remove the hose from it. After this you can remove the cotter pin.
14. Then disconnect the speedometer from the cable, which is used to record the readings of the device for the day.
15. Disconnect the red wire from the power supply.
16. Pull the hydraulic corrector and light switch handles towards you.
17. Unscrew the two fastening nuts that are located at the hydraulic corrector socket and next to the instrument backlight switch.
18. Remove the steering wheel, along with the switches that are located under it.
19. You can only remove the power pads from the ignition switch if you turn it to position 1 with the key.
20. Remove 2 fasteners and the same number of nuts from the steering column.
21. Remove the steering column along with the ignition switch.
22. Pull the choke handle towards you to remove it from the rod. This rod is held in place by two fasteners that need to be removed.
23. Remove the bolts from the left side and bottom of the instrument panel. Do the same on the right side.
24. Inside the glove compartment there is another fastener that needs to be unscrewed.
25. Remove the last fasteners and carefully remove the panel.

Now you can install a new torpedo instead or carry out planned repairs.
