Exclamation mark on the Shnivy tidy: what does it mean

Indicates problems in the car's electronic systems. Check for additional indicators that light up at the same time. Often this is accompanied by the car not starting.

Drivers mainly look for reasons in nodes:

SRS on the Chevrolet Niva dashboard

If the indicator on the Shnivy dashboard lights up, it only indicates that there are problems in the car’s security system. Check the airbags, belt sensors and wiring.

Errors on the Shnivy panel

When performing self-diagnosis of the BC, the following faults may appear on the display.

Most errors can be caused by the overlap of several problems. For example, 8+2=10.

Shnivy tidy does not work: reasons

Usually this is damage to the module's power circuit, moisture/condensation on the board, or mechanical damage caused by improper repair.

The problem is simple when studied in detail, and can be easily eliminated without the help of specialists.

The shield does not light up

If it just goes out (the backlight has failed), check the corresponding fuse inside the mounting block. Next you need to follow the wires towards the tidy. Here the condition of the contact groups and the presence of oxidation on the terminals are checked. If there are such problems, the problems should be eliminated.

If only some of the light bulbs stop lighting, dismantle the device and check the lighting elements directly for damage.

Shnivy's shield is blinking

A typical problem in cars that are driven on rough terrain or broken roads. A symptom of trouble is that the device periodically goes out while driving or blinks quickly.

Instrument needles Strings stuck

In such a situation, check the systems.

How to remove the tidy

Follow the simple procedure.

Reassembling the unit is performed in reverse order.

The standard Shnivy panel is a well-thought-out module with informative and easy-to-read information. The simple design ensures the reliability of the unit and the absence of serious breakdowns during operation.

Specialization : Graduated from the State Automobile University, worked for 20 years at GAZ-56, now I drive a Zhiguli.

Let's bring Shniva to mind: Our own icons in the BKL (Indicator lamp block)

I decided to add functionality to the ShNivovsky BKL, especially since it still does not use all the potential inherent in it. Attention! If you have a FAM or ReSHN with ABS+SRS, then the BCL is full-fledged, all indicators are wired. If you have a ReShN in the basic configuration (without ABS), then you do not have a BCL, instead there is a plug. Therefore, you will have to buy it separately if you want to make your own badges) If you have a pre-restyle, then the BKL has a short board and only the first 3 badges are soldered. You can read about how to make such a BCL full-fledged here

Exterior

When buying a car, buyers first look at the appearance, and then at the technical equipment. Engineers had to work hard on the shape of the body. They managed to embody a courageous, strict, daring image. If you look at the heavy Chevrolet Niva 2022 of the new body, you will immediately notice how it has changed:

1. The car received a small head optics. There are no LED elements in it. The Chevrolet Niva in the new body has acquired an inexpensive, rustic look. The manufacturer did not use unusual colors for the body.
2. There is no air intake on the front bumper, and small fog lamps are located in a niche.
3. Since the not very powerful engine does not actively generate heat, Niva Chevrolet received a small grille for the radiator.
4. The front of the car looks brighter than the rear. The rear door is equipped with a spare wheel. Old technologies were used to make small lanterns.
5. Wheels with steel rims without decorative caps.

To prevent the Niva from scratching and damaging the new body, it was equipped with massive plastic protection against sharp objects on the road.

Description of instrument panel icons Niva Chevrolet (LADA)

The Chevrolet Niva instrument cluster is designed to display driving characteristics, the current state of vehicle systems that ensure traffic safety, as well as the correct operation of the entire vehicle as a whole. If you are a novice driver, then this description of the dashboard will help you understand the readings of instruments and indicators.

Features of the module operation and malfunctions

When the ignition is turned off, only the hazard warning lamp can work on the Chevrolet Niva instrument panel. When the ignition is turned on, the system performs a self-test. At this time, the check engine lights, oil pressure and battery charge lights are on. If there are any deviations in the operation of instruments and alarms, testing can be carried out. To do this, turn off the ignition, hold down the odometer reset button and turn on the ignition. All lamps on the instrument panel should light up and the arrows should move three times from the minimum to the maximum value. Typical malfunctions include lamp burnout. If there are no signs of “life” in the entire panel, but the car starts, then you should check the block of connecting wires. Often, for the same reason, one of the devices fails, but here everything is not so simple, because the corresponding sensor may fail.

As a result, we can add that since the instrument panel is a complex electronic unit, then faults should be diagnosed by scanning signals. The only thing a car owner can do at home is replace the burnt-out element.

Rice. 1.8. Instrument panel and controls

The location of the controls is shown in Fig. 1.8.

1 – external lighting switch. The switch block contains two mechanically linked switches:

– side light switch (left). By successively pressing the switch key, the side lights in the headlights and rear lights are turned on and off; when the side lights are turned on, the control lamp in the button lights up green;

– headlight switch (right). When you press the switch button (fixed position), the headlights turn on. When you press the button again, the headlights turn off.

The mechanical connection of both switches eliminates the possibility of turning on the headlights without first turning on the side lights and, conversely, does not allow turning off the side lights when the headlights are on.

Rice. 1.9. Steering column switches: 1 – turn signal and light switch lever

headlights; 2 – switch lever for windshield wipers and washers

Description of devices

1. Coolant temperature gauge

. The red zone warns of engine overheating. If the arrow moves into the red zone, you should stop, let the engine cool down and eliminate the cause of overheating.

5. Speedometer (km/h)

induction type shows at what speed the car is currently moving. The speedometer drive is electric from a sensor installed on the transfer case housing.

6. Fuel level indicator

. Provides information about the approximate amount of fuel in the tank. To determine the correct position of the fuel level indicator, you must place the car on a flat, horizontal surface. Turn off the ignition. After 3 sec. turn on the ignition. The indicator will be in the position corresponding to the amount of fuel in the tank. It is recommended to perform this procedure before refueling the vehicle or if you suspect incorrect readings on the fuel level gauge.

12. Mileage indicator

. The top line of the indicator indicates the total mileage of the car, and the bottom line is a daily counter of the distance traveled. Reset the daily counter readings by holding button 11 pressed for more than 3 seconds with the car stopped. The daily counter is also reset when the terminal is removed from the battery.

15. Time indicator

, temperature and voltage of the on-board network. Switching between the indication of time, ambient temperature and on-board network voltage is carried out by briefly pressing button 11. When the ignition is turned on:

When the outside air temperature rises above +3 °C and drops again to +2 °C:

The instrument cluster displays the air temperature around the temperature sensor located in the engine compartment.

When the car is parked for a long time with the engine running, the air temperature in the engine compartment increases, and this is reflected in the readings of the ambient temperature sensor.

When the car starts moving, the air temperature readings change. The hours and minutes are set in the time display mode by rotating button 11 towards the signs “h” - hours and “m” - minutes.

After removing the terminal from the battery and then restoring the connection, the time is counted from zero.

By pressing the button again or turning off the ignition, the seat heating is switched off. The left and right buttons turn on the heating of the driver's and front passenger's seats, respectively.

From a technical point of view, any car is a complex system of interacting units. The main difference between a modern car and the self-propelled carriages that stood at the origins of the automotive industry is the presence of feedback. The driver has the opportunity to receive information about the status of vital systems. This information is displayed on a special panel that serves as an information panel. The Chevrolet Niva instrument panel meets all modern requirements for information content and functionality, and therefore should be considered in the context of its purpose, design and operating principle.
