Priora instrument panel pinout and do-it-yourself tuning

, I decided a long time ago, but somehow I didn’t get around to it... I connected the DRL-30 and got to the tidy... well, let’s relight it, since I got in)) off we go...

I took it off, took it apart, took a photo to remember the position of the arrows... what's the point in this, it doesn't help, then I set it up all day (((

I took off the arrows, turning them counterclockwise, everything came off as normal, only the fuel level was fluctuating and didn’t want to be removed, I pry it off with two screwdrivers... it flew to the ceiling and came off))

I carefully peeled off the backing, it came off easily and without damage, I have no complaints about it))

I started cleaning off the green filter... I cleaned it off with a knife and a utility knife blade

I thought this would be the most difficult and dangerous stage, I screwed up the backing on the climate panel at this point - how wrong I was... the backing on the dashboard is fine, everything is cleaned well, slowly but surely... and the green light filter turns into dust.

further along the arrow... I cleaned the paint with a utility knife, everything came off neatly, and they didn’t put much effort on it either...

initially I wanted them in red, but I discovered a non-separable display, I didn’t want to solder it, so it was impossible to remove the light filter ((( I decided that the blue LED would break through the green light filter, so the arrows would also be blue... I bought blue SMD 5050 kolkhoznik diodes, damn... there were red ones take it as I wanted... I regret it now... so I painted the hands blue... it turned out to be some sad crap, not very good (no photo, I vomited at the sight of them)... cleaned it again and repainted it white... it’s even more interesting, they are white during the day and blue at night ))

The display turned out to be not removable, bitch, in the photo you can see how many contacts are holding it... desoldering it is not an option ((but I wanted to overexpose it, ideally do an inversion... oh, life is a pain...

Sadness aside, I took a knife, cut off one wall (then I completely unsoldered it to insert a piece of diode strip for illumination) and took out the green diffuser, this is where I regretted buying blue diodes...

A new diffuser was made from a translucent plastic matte canister and inserted under the screen. I illuminated it with three SMD 3528 4300K ​​diodes from the tape, glued it to the board under the screen, it’s enough, it lights up more or less equally.

And then I got kind of depressed, my phone died and in general the tidy really stressed me out, I thought everything would be easier ((

Central deflectors of the heating and ventilation system

1 – handwheel for adjusting the flow intensity through the deflectors (when rotating up, the damper opens, down, it closes); 2 – lever for adjusting the direction of the air flow left and right. The direction of the air flow through the deflector is adjusted up and down by pressing on the top or bottom of the deflector.

Tuning the Priora instrument panel mainly consists of connecting additional lighting and installing several color inserts inside the device. No specific replacement of parts is required, nor is the installation of expensive new items required. How to implement a budget tuning option?

Lada Priora became the first VAZ model to use a new type of material for the dashboard. “Soft look” plastic has a visual similarity to leather, so the console looks quite solid. The dashboard includes all the most necessary devices to inform the driver:

• tachometer;
• speedometer;
• fuel sensor;
• oil quantity sensor;
• There are many small indicators on the instrument panel: turn, lighting, reserve fuel, etc.

In fact, the dashboard is fully equipped and does not require any technical modifications or installation of additional sensors. Then the next question arises: is it worth redoing the instrument panel at all? If you are quite satisfied with its appearance, leave everything without modifications. But if you are going to remodel the interior, then changes will be required for the instrument panel. You can change its color, strengthen it a little, change the lighting of the devices. In addition, you can add a few details for yourself. For example, highlight the most important indicators in a certain color - the amount of gasoline, the speed of the car, so as not to search for them throughout the entire panel.

Glass tinting

Glass tinting is an elementary type of tuning the panel of a Lada Priora. The film is attached to the outside of the glass. You can use film No. 15 or any other depending on the driver’s preference. The main thing is to choose the right shade to make the glass look good. American film, which often has a reddish tint, is not suitable for every interior.

The film is applied as usual - we degrease the glass using any dishwashing detergent, Fairy and others will do. We apply the film and cut it, paying special attention to the edges. It is better to cut off the edges so that the film does not start to bubble after installing the glass in place.

Tuning the Priora dashboard using LEDs

Lada Priora, in comparison with other models of the AvtoVAZ concern, is distinguished by a more attractive and high-quality dashboard, finished with good “Soft Look” plastic and a good instrument cluster. However, the owners of these cars are seeking to change some elements of the dashboard and make the interior brighter and more stylish.

1 Tuning the instrument panel on the Lada

Upgrading your dashboard usually starts with installing new lighting. To do this, you will need a set of tools, namely screwdrivers and keys, as well as reflective foil and LED strips. At the first stage, the dashboard is dismantled. This is done by hand using a Phillips screwdriver. To do this, you do not need to remove the steering wheel; you just need to move the steering column to the lowest position.

Then, following the instructions, disassemble the device. At the second stage, it is necessary to carefully separate the cover from the main glass and disassemble the dials and hands. The easiest way to improve the dashboard lighting is to remove the standard coating from the numbers on the trim. Thus, with normal backlighting, the numbers on the instrument panel will have a bright white glow.

Another simple and inexpensive option for tuning the dashboard is to stick multi-colored inserts made of loose cellophane, which must be glued to the back side of the panel removed from the glass. This will change the color on the speedometer and temperature scale. However, more serious tuning involves installing additional lighting or completely changing the standard lighting.

2 10 LEDs to change the backlight

To improve or change the lighting on the dashboard, after removing it, you need to stick on pieces of LED strip. They must be glued along the entire perimeter of the tidy, at the same distance. In this case, the most important condition is to maintain polarity when connecting the diode strip and standard power wiring. Next, you need to carefully disassemble the display and remove the green light filter from it.

This will make the display backlight bright white. However, if you want to get some other color on the display, you can purchase a filter of any color - as a rule, they are sold in specialized stores. Some Priora owners, when completely changing the backlight, also change the backlight of the main speedometer needle. To do this, use LEDs of the color to which you want to change the arrow illumination. Ten CMD LEDs will be enough. 3 LEDs for the speedometer and tachometer, three more for the engine temperature scale and fuel consumption indicator.

It is best to fix the LEDs with a blowtorch, soldering them into the main glass on the instrument panel. At the same time, do not forget about the need to connect the standard wires on the reverse side, observing the polarity. If you follow all the rules of the instructions and have the necessary tools, making such changes yourself will not be difficult, but the result will certainly please the car owner.

3 Protect the console - paint and polyurethane

After a certain period of operation of the VAZ Priora model, unpleasant sounds may appear in the cabin - a creaking or knocking somewhere inside the console. To avoid this, experts recommend dismantling the console's facing panel and applying an additional layer of polyurethane or modelin coating to the main body. This will get rid of unpleasant creaking and extraneous noise in the cabin.

In addition, a popular area of ​​interior tuning for a Priora is painting the center console in a different color.

To do this you will need a can of spray paint and plastic primer. Remove the center console, following the instructions and remembering to turn off electronic devices, radio, power to the stove, clock, etc. Next, apply a thin layer of primer to the plastic console, let it dry for several hours, then apply spray paint over the entire surface of the console. The color is up to you and only you, but after changing the instrument panel lighting and improving the appearance of the center console, the car's interior will become more attractive and sporty.

Speedometer adjustment with stop

The procedure for adjusting the speedometer is quite simple; even a novice car enthusiast can do it. To achieve a positive result, you will need a small set of available materials, including a marker, a pencil, thin scissors or, better yet, tweezers, and most importantly, perseverance and desire.

Today, two types of speedometers are known: both with a stop and without, each of which has its own adjustment principle. At the very beginning of work, you should determine the type of speedometer installed in your car; to do this, you need to move the needle beyond the 220 km/h mark; if you can’t move it further, you can conclude that the device has a stop.

Now you can proceed to the procedure for adjusting the speedometer. To do this, holding the instrument arrow in position all the way, you need to make a mark on the glass of the dashboard with a marker (we do not recommend putting marks on the scale, since then it will be impossible to wipe them off).

After this, remove the arrow and snap the dashboard glass into place. Rotate the shaft by first removing the nail on the latch.

After this procedure, you should return the speedometer needle to its place, but do not install it tightly. Remember: everything should be done easily, without effort. The arrow should rotate freely, as soon as it reaches the mark made with a marker, try to fix it as tightly as possible. Make sure that it matches the mark; if it does not, the procedure should be repeated again. Having achieved the result, you can snap the nail, lowering the arrow.

Removal and replacement

Pinout of Lada Priora comfort block

So, if you are firmly convinced that the Priora instrument panel is faulty, it must be removed for replacement

This operation must be carried out very carefully so as not to damage the trim housing and the wires running under the instrument cluster. First of all, according to the rules, it is necessary to disconnect the battery when performing any work on electrical equipment.

In this

In this case, this action also makes sense, since the instrument panel ECU is under constant load to save the parameters. Therefore, you should first disconnect the battery terminal. After this, in the cabin, begin dismantling the device. First, remove the panel under the steering column covering the fuse box. It is held in place by three decorative plastic locks. By turning them half a turn, you can remove it. After this, remove the four screws holding the instrument panel trim panel. Now the combination is completely open.

Now you need to unscrew two more screws holding it and remove the panel. Carefully turn over. Move the connector latch to the side. With this action, it will partially come out of the groove. Now completely disconnect the part and put it aside. If the panel only needs to replace the lamps, then this is quite simple. They come immediately in special plastic nests when sold. On the device they are located in small wells, with the plastic end facing up. Just grab it and turn it a quarter turn counterclockwise. The lamp will immediately fall out. At the end, you need to insert a new one in its place, and turning it clockwise, fix it.

Replacing the panel

Before you put the new panel in place, you should make sure that power is supplied to it correctly. To do this, you will need a test lamp, with the ability to check both the “+” and “-” contacts. You need to know that on the 19th contact of the block there is a common “minus” of the device. Or as they say - “mass”. On pin 20 there is a constant plus from the battery, and on pin 21, a “plus” appears when the ignition is turned on. These connector sockets should definitely be checked before installing a new combination. And after the contacts have been checked, you can connect a new panel to the connector and check it by turning on the ignition. If everything is fine, you can install it in place. Hers or the old one, if it was only necessary to change the light bulbs. You can install the instrument cluster on the “Priors” panel by doing everything in reverse order.

Features of the Gamma instrument panel

The latest models of Priora cars are equipped with a factory navigation system. And in this case, a model called “Gamma” is installed. But do not assume that this is a well-made toy, suitable only for a car with

navigation. No, it installs perfectly on earlier versions of Priora. Since there is practically no need to change anything in the wiring. The only modification: run one wire to the car's diagnostic connector! But this will allow the driver, in addition to the stunning design, to have before his eyes the car’s on-board computer with many functions, including reading error codes from the main Priora ECU. In general, although it is an expensive thing, it is worth the money. In the video, removing the Priora instrument panel:

The ignition key can be in one of three positions

Priora front suspension tuning

0 – “off”; I – “ignition”; II – “starter” In the lock position “0” – “off” the power circuits are energized: side light; lighting of the interior, glove compartment and trunk; brake signals; sound signal; central lock; hazard warning lights. The key can only be inserted and removed from the ignition switch in the lock position “0”. When the ignition key is removed, the anti-theft locking mechanism may be activated, blocking the steering shaft. To lock the steering shaft, turn the steering wheel left or right until the locking element clicks. To unlock the shaft, insert the key into the ignition lock and, slightly rocking the steering wheel left and right, turn the key to position “I” - “ignition”. When the key is in position “I”, along with the above consumers, the power circuits are energized: elements of the engine control system; instrument clusters; headlights; direction indicators; fog light and reversing light in the rear lights; windshield wiper and washer; heater; electric door windows, heated rear window elements, electric drives and heated exterior rear-view mirrors. In the lock position “II” – “starter”, the starter is turned on. The key position is not fixed. Immediately after starting the engine, release the ignition key and it automatically returns to position “I”. If the first attempt fails to start the engine, turn off the ignition and, after waiting about 30 seconds, try to start the engine again. Hold the key in position “II” for more than 10 is not recommended, since this can lead to overheating of the starter motor and its failure. The ignition switch is designed to block an attempt to start an already running engine, which does not allow turning the key a second time from position “I” to position “II”, bypassing the “0” position. If the driver’s door is opened when the ignition is turned off and the key is left in the ignition switch, the buzzer emits a continuous sound trill, warning about the key being left in the ignition switch. If the key is removed from the ignition switch, but the side light remains on, then when When the driver's door is opened, the buzzer emits two intermittent beeps, warning that the exterior lighting has been left on.

Required

The Itelma instrument panel with navigation can be of two types (externally they are no different):

They are not interchangeable, so before purchasing, you should determine whether your vehicle uses a CAN bus or not.

• until 06.2012, cars were produced without a CAN bus;
• remove the instrument cluster and look at the article number or at the block with wires (see pinout of connectors below).

For Kalina (VAZ 1117, 1118, 1119) - all cars without a CAN bus.

• Right steering column switch with joystick (catalog number: 1118-3709340-20);
• Antenna (for roof installation): 1118-7903074.

You can also buy ready-made kits (device + antenna + switch):

• for Lada Priora - 2170-3801010-55;
• for Lada Kalina 1 - 1118-3801010-55.

Lada Priora seats

The front seats are equipped with head restraints and are equipped with mechanisms for moving the seat longitudinally and changing the tilt of the backrest. To adjust the position of the front seat in the longitudinal direction, pull up the lock lever located under the seat.

While holding the lever, move the seat forward or backward, release the lever and make sure that the seat is securely fixed.

To change the tilt of the seat back, rotate the handle.

It is prohibited to adjust the position of the driver's seat while driving, as this may lead to loss of control of the vehicle. The headrests of all seats are height adjustable. To raise or lower the front seat headrest, pull it up or lower it to one of four fixed positions.

To remove the headrest, with a sharp upward movement we remove its posts from the holes in the back of the seat. In order to adjust the position of the rear seat headrest... press the latch on the right headrest post and move the headrest to one of two fixed positions. To remove the headrest, press the post lock and move the headrest up until its posts come out of the holes in the seat back.

Ideas for tuning and modifying the shield

How to tune the shield:

1. Instead of a standard shield, install a more advanced one, with a navigator. In such devices, the arrangement of indicators and sensors will be different - the sensors are located on the right and left, and in the middle there is a navigator display. This tuning option is considered one of the most expensive.
2. Install ready-made or develop your own scales for sensors. To implement this idea, you will need to completely remove the tidy and disassemble it, as well as disconnect the arrows from the sensors. The scales are installed on existing sensors and are securely fixed.
3. Use of LEDs in lighting. The device will also have to be disassembled, but here the method is simpler. You don’t have to remove the arrows, you just need to turn off the light bulbs on the device and dismantle them, and then replace them with new ones. If the base of the light sources does not match, the lamps will have to be soldered. Alternatively, instead of light bulbs, you can solder an LED strip.
4. Paint the dials and gauges of the instrument panel with fluorescent paint, but for greater effect, again, you will need to install diode lamps. With this combination, the tidy will glow brightly, but keep in mind that the implementation of this method requires care and painstakingness from the car owner.

What does the on-board computer show on Kalina?

Detailed description of the functions of the Lada Kalina's standard computer: Current time in 24-hour format. Fuel consumed during the last trip. ... The power reserve shows how much longer you can drive in this mode with the remaining fuel in the tank.

As you can see, everything is banal and simple, and to explain some points it’s worth taking a couple of photos.

If this process is not clear to anyone from my description, then a video from my YouTube channel will be embedded below specifically for this purpose.

Instructions for replacing the tidy yourself

The procedure for removing, disassembling and replacing the control panel can be carried out on your own; there is nothing complicated about it.

How to remove the PP:

1. First of all, turn off the ignition, and then disconnect the battery from the power supply.
2. For greater convenience, you should remove the steering column cover, and also dismantle the steering wheel itself.
3. After this, using a screwdriver, you need to unscrew the two screws that secure the upper part of the tidy.
4. Next, two more screws are unscrewed, only now from the bottom.
5. There are two more screws on the sides of the control panel; they also need to be unscrewed.
6. After this, you can pull the tidy towards you, but do not remove it completely. Since wires are connected to the device, you need to disconnect the connectors on the back side, and then release the latch.
7. The PP is removed and replaced with a new one. Assembly steps are carried out in reverse order.

Changing the instrument panel lighting on a Priora is quite simple.

Panel malfunctions signs and causes

What malfunctions can occur in the operation of the control panel:

1. The backlight does not light up. There may be several reasons - damage to the device’s power supply circuit, a short circuit in the system, failure of the control panel. But one of the most common reasons in this case is the burnout of the safety device. The marking fuse F10 is located in the mounting block; it must be checked first.
2. The sensors do not work - the arrows on the speedometer and tachometer do not rise. The reason may be a bad signal coming from the dashboard. It is necessary to check the electrical circuit for breaks. Much less often the problem lies in a failed sensor.
3. The controller for the volume of gasoline in the tank and the engine temperature do not work. As in the previous case, the cause of the malfunction may lie directly in the sensors themselves. The fuel volume controller is located in the tank with the fuel pump, and the coolant sensor is located in the cylinder head. Before replacing, we recommend checking the quality of the connection and contacts - perhaps they are simply damaged or oxidized, as a result of which the sensors do not work. The reason may also be a damaged electrical circuit; in this case, you will need to check the wiring.
4. It happens that the dashboard as a whole works correctly, but the controllers transmit incorrect information. The reason may lie in the performance of the processor or a short circuit in the wiring. Sometimes the problem lies in bad mass.
5. The backlight is partially not working. Most likely, the reason lies in the burnout of the lighting sources; they will need to be replaced (the author of the video is the channel In Sandro’s Garage).

Purpose of the temperature sensor on the pointer

The engine temperature gauge on the Priora is connected to a sensor that is built into the cooling system. It is this element that transmits information about the coolant temperature, which is displayed in a format understandable to the driver. Many people underestimate the purpose of such a device, and if it malfunctions, they are in no hurry to repair it.

And although the temperature gauge sensor does not affect the operation of the engine, it is a very important element that must always be in good working order and display correct information on the dashboard. Using this device, engine warming is controlled, which is necessary for the following purposes:

1. Prevent the possibility of engine overheating, which can happen for various reasons: a malfunction of the cooling fan and insufficient amount of antifreeze in the system.
2. For controlled warming of the engine to operating temperature, which is especially important in winter. It is strictly contraindicated to drive at high speeds when the engine is not warmed up to operating temperature.

When the engine heating meter on a Priora is faulty, this will not affect the operation of the engine in any way. Such a malfunction can only lead to the fact that if the engine temperature rises, the driver will not be able to react in a timely manner, which can cause serious consequences.
