Diagnostics of Lada Kalina, error codes and methods for eliminating them

December 29, 2014 Lada.Online 660 335 78

In the event of malfunctions in the operation of the vehicle, the engine electronic control unit (ECU) stores errors in memory. In the future, Kalina ECU errors can be read using an on-board computer or special equipment for car diagnostics. In addition to controller error codes, it is possible to perform Kalina self-diagnosis on the dashboard.

Advice

: To read errors in electronic units, car owners often use the ELM327 adapter (buy on Ali) and the OpenDiag application in their smartphone.

With the introduction by a special commission of the European Union of the mandatory characteristics of Euro-2 and Euro-3 in vehicle electronics, the misfire (ignition) system became mandatory for use as a function when programming the ECU.
Methods for its diagnostics were also integrated into the “brains” of the on-board vehicle. With its help, to prevent unnecessary toxicity of unused fuel, a program was installed to turn off cylinders with deficiencies in the injection system. This occurs by blocking the fuel supply through the injector system. With the help of preventive blocking of this function, the release of unburned fuel into the environment is stopped, and the functionality of the rather expensive complex of catalyst parts is not affected. On vehicles equipped with a set of additional electrical devices included in Euro-3 and subsequent generations, a VAZ rough road sensor is added to the ignition system interval control complex.

This indicator is positioned as the only device in the vehicle electronics that does not directly influence the management function of the Priora from the electrical on-board complex. When the question is posed this way, Russian car owners often ask why a rough road sensor is needed in a car.

Such a device has the function of protection when moving along sections of the roadway with obvious unevenness (bumps, ruts, etc.). Based on the pulses emitted by the device, the controller can temporarily stop the process of identifying intervals and turning off idle cylinders.

The standard device is located in the power compartment on the wing mudguard on the right side. Usually, it is mounted on a special protrusion and connected to the side panel via a three-pin contact. Finding a rough road sensor and replacing it is not particularly difficult.

Lada KalinaDND rough road sensor malfunction

the engine starts and stalls, elimination of error codes P1606/P1616/P1617, description of the cause of the error and its elimination.

It operates on the basis of the introduction of the piezoelectric effect by analogy with the knock sensor of the power plant, i.e., the acceleration signals that arise in the system when driving on an uneven road surface are transformed. Such a pulse is converted into a constant current voltage value, which is in direct proportion to the previous signal. This is how the controller identifies the position when the vehicle is moving along a road with difficult terrain and gives a command to disable the function of stopping the ignition of a flammable mixture.

When moving on a road surface with unevenness and potholes, the variable load effect of a variable type significantly affects the angular speed of rotation of the crankshaft of the technical device. Frequency pulses transmitted during rotation of the crankshaft of a technical device act as an analog signal, which appear during intervals of ignition of the air-fuel mixture.

The electrical rough road sensor in Priora measures the amount of vibration of the vehicle body and transmits the acquired impulse to the controller. If the permissible level of impulse characteristics is exceeded, the controlling sensor disables the characteristics of the combustion intervals of the injection system.

Replacement

Installing a new sensor is not a difficult job. To carry it out you will need a minimum of tools, as well as a little time:

Thus, work to replace the sensor is carried out on Lada Kalina and Lada Priora. On machines of other brands and models, this work may be performed differently.

Manufacturers

. If you have a foreign car, then it is better to purchase an original sensor from official suppliers. Even the most expensive models will cost relatively little. You shouldn’t save money and buy a Chinese “pig in a poke”; no one will guarantee the service life of the part.

Several of our companies produce DND for domestic production. The most famous are Kaluga sensors and those produced in Zelenograd. Connoisseurs of German quality can purchase a device manufactured by BOSCH.

Replacing the device

Technical properties of the sensor:

Checking the ADC pulse of the VAZ rough road sensor can be carried out using the DST-2M device or its analogues. The BSMW indicator is analyzed and diagnosed in the form of acceleration configuration g. If the sensor is subjected to a slight impact with a click or knock, then there is a change in acceleration values ​​with a different spectrum, from instantaneous to small values. In principle, this device is very sensitive, changes are observed even by the body's rocking.

To dismantle the Priora rough road sensor you will need a Phillips head screwdriver:

Errors in the idle system and ecu of the Lada Priora

P0500 - a malfunction in the sensor that is responsible for speed. When the last digit is 6, the speed is low, and when 7 is high. At 11 the regulator is broken, and at 60 the voltage is low, and at code 62 it is too low. Code 63 numbers indicate high voltage. 0601 - checksum malfunction. Code 0627 indicates tears in the fuel pump cables. With code 0645, 46 and 47 - problems with the air conditioner.

This is the main list of problems and malfunctions that occur in the car. If you decipher them correctly, then it will be much easier to repair the car and correct Priora errors. But even with the most effective equipment, you need to remember that a good auto mechanic cannot be replaced by any testing device.

Technical description and interpretation of error P0222

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code. The P0222 code is considered a common code because it applies to all makes and models of vehicles. Although the specific repair steps may vary slightly depending on the model.

The throttle position sensor (TPS) responds to movement of the accelerator pedal. It is a type of potentiometer. Which converts the throttle position into a voltage output and supplies a voltage signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). It also detects the opening and closing speed of the throttle valve and provides a voltage signal to the ECM.

Code P0222 means that the vehicle's computer has detected that the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) "B" is reporting too low voltage. On some vehicles this lower limit is 0.17–0.20 volts (V).

Simply put, the throttle position sensor is used to determine what position the throttle valve is in. If the signal value is less than 0.17 V, the PCM sets this code.

The process of diagnosing a car using a tester or a connected computer

Much more accurate and reliable data when checking a car for malfunctions can be obtained if you use separately connected equipment. But the introduction of such tools and devices gives encrypted readings, therefore, in order to correctly understand and find all the faults in the car, you need to decrypt the data received from diagnostic devices. Of course, manufacturers could have done things easier for Russian-speaking car enthusiasts. It would be possible to write “replace the canister valve” on the device screen after diagnostics, but instead, only a code in the form of p0441 can be found on the display, and code p0130 will appear only due to problems with the oxygen sensor.

But the problem is that Lada Priora is produced not only for the domestic market, it is also produced for sale in other countries. Therefore, such a classification of automobile problems and their code on the testing device was created.

It is easier to enter only a certain number of universal codes into the program than to enter your own language data for each national market. As a result, you can look at a specific code on the display and easily determine the essence of the problem in the car using a list that lists all encrypted codes. A special code is used to indicate error codes on the Lada Priora car. This cipher includes:

On the Lada Priora, all gap codes in the vehicle's operation will have five digits. Here is a complete list of Priora designations. The first character of the code will be a Latin letter. The letter “P” indicates problems with the engine, or more precisely with its electronic system. The letter “B” indicates problems with the interior electronics.

The letter “C” is present on the screen only if there are failures in the electronic system of the vehicle chassis. If combined errors occur in several operating systems of the vehicle, the letter “U” will appear on the display. The letter designation is followed by a number.

The zero indicator is indicated by the OBD-2 code. Numbers 1 and 2 show the company code, and the third digit is responsible for the backup code. The subsequent set of numbers conditionally shows the place where errors were detected during diagnostics. A zero code indicates the exhaust system. Number 1 indicates the fuel system, number 2 indicates the air supply system.

If there is a malfunction in the ignition, then the number 3 will appear. If there are problems with additional control, the number 4 will appear. If there are malfunctions in the idle speed, then the number 5 is responsible for this, and if there are problems in the ECU, the number 6 will appear. Numbers 7 and 8 are associated with the transmission In the general code, the very last two digits indicate the error number in the operation.

Diagnostic methods

As of 2022, there are two popular ways to find and decipher errors in a Lada Kalina computer of both generations.

Self-diagnosis

The easiest and most common way to diagnose error codes on a VAZ Kalina is to search using the on-board network. The procedure looks like this.

1. Insert the key into the lock cylinder.
2. Next, hold down the RESET key and, without releasing it, turn on the ignition
3. In this case, the device will automatically switch to diagnostic mode. At the same time, all the indications will light up, and the instrument arrows will make a full circle. You should pay attention to the arrows and indicators - if any diode does not light up, you need to check the device for which the element is responsible.
4. On the right steering column lever there is a button for scrolling through the options - you need to scroll to the required position (error codes).
5. Next, the display will show the general error number; to reset the index, you need to hold RES for three seconds.

Note! The indicated sequence is relevant for Lada Kalina of the first and second modifications.

The position of the error codes will show one of the indices on the display:

• “2” – there is a surge in the BS power supply – a possible short circuit in the wiring;
• “3” – rupture of lines, or failure of the float inside the gas tank;
• error 4 Lada Kalina says that the coolant temperature sensor is broken or malfunctioning;
• “5” – the thermometer has gone astray, the element may be damaged or the circuit may be broken;
• “6” – exceeding the maximum permissible temperature of the internal combustion engine block, while the acoustic alarm is working;
• “7” – exceeding the permissible pressure thresholds inside the oil line;
• “8” - on a Lada Kalina car, error 8 appears when there is a malfunction of the calipers or a breakdown in the hydraulic drive line;
• “9” – critical voltage drop in the battery;
• “E” – incorrect reading or display of the EEPROM information module.

To return to the starting part, it is enough to hold RES for 30 s. The disadvantage of this method is minimal accuracy - the procedure shows in which direction to look for a breakdown, but not a specific node. So, it is possible to understand exactly where the failure occurred only by the following method.

Check via external system

To perform the procedure, you will need to connect a PC to the diagnostic output of the machine. The terminal is located under the dashboard on the right (location may vary depending on the batch and year of manufacture). After pairing is established, standard codes begin to appear in the software window. Markings are required for versatility - the car is also supplied for export, which would require re-flashing the BC for each language - this is not at all convenient and requires the investment of large resources and time, that’s why it is so. When you activate the program, five-digit codes appear on the screen. Each element speaks about a unique indicator. First letter of the index:

• P – electrical defect;
• C – the problem is in the chassis electrical circuit;
• B is the root of evil in the interior space of the cabin;
• U – loss of synchronization of several circuits.

The first element of the digital combination is indicated next:

• 0 – OBD 2;
• 1 and 2 – standard enterprise code (it is not known for certain what this means);
• 3 – spare system.

These indicators indicate a faulty unit. Next in order is the number of the on-board circuit where the defect is located:

• 0 – exhaust installation and muffler;
• 1 – supply of oxygen inside the internal combustion engine;
• 2 – gasoline supply;
• 4 – secondary control of the installation;
• 5 – incorrect setting of crankshaft speed;
• 7 and 8 – transmission units, drive units, axles.

The last part of the encoding indicates directly the defect number in order.

Self-diagnosis of the instrument cluster Kalina/Priora

Decoding error codes in the dashboard:

How to reset errors on Kalina? You can reset the errors yourself using the on-board computer, or contact a service station with special diagnostic equipment.

Let us remind you that you can find detailed photo reports in the Lada Kalina repair category.

Self-diagnosis

Let's look at the decoding of combinations of faults that you can read when checking the Lada Priora yourself.

The arrows on the dashboard move to maximum values ​​when performing self-diagnosis of the vehicle, and all icons on the panel are lit.
Please note: if the button for switching functions of the on-board computer is not pressed for more than 10 seconds, the dashboard will return to the operating state.

How to diagnose and reset error codes?

In addition to the instrument panel, in Lada Kalina you can diagnose a controller that monitors the functioning of a specific electronic component of the LADA Kalina car. For example, the Bosch-ME-7.9.7 controller is capable of informing about the presence of an engine error. Reference books or a special program will help you decipher the meanings of the codes. Mechanics remember the interpretation of all codes by heart, but beginners and owners with a similar desire have only to step on the path of an amateur diagnostician.

More specifically about some code examples:

• error “0441” indicates a malfunction of the oxygen sensor;
• code “1602” will indicate a loss of voltage in the ECU power circuit;
• error “0363” will inform you about a coil failure.

The nature of the autonomous diagnostic module is such that the breakdown of a specific part is not displayed, but a specific area is localized, in which the owner needs to solve the existing problems through more accurate diagnostic measures and subsequent repairs. Many car owners will find a table of codes and their decoding useful.

For example, when error “0504” is displayed, this only hints at a malfunction in the brake system. The owner will find out exactly what has gone wrong if he performs a thorough inspection of the brake circuit. This is also true for other systems and components.

Error "0343". The decoding shows that the sensor responsible for the correctness of the signal in the phase circuit overestimates the readings. To find out the reasons why the sensor operates in this mode, you will need to perform manual diagnostics.

Self-diagnosis is designed to make it easier for the LADA Kalina owner in troubleshooting, as it allows you to focus suspicion on certain areas of action, saving time. For example, a clutch problem will be indicated by error “0830”. Its decoding is given in the table.

Note that error codes can change their meanings when the ECU software is changed. This forces the owner to have an up-to-date table to avoid confusion.

Prior error codes on the dashboard

Using the built-in controller, drivers can identify the main error codes for Priors 8 and 16 valves on their own. The procedure is carried out using a built-in computer or a connected device. Almost all modern cars are equipped with a system of various sensors that monitor the condition of automotive components. The bottom line is that the functionality of many working units directly depends on the correct functioning of the existing sensors.

On the other hand, turning off some indicators may not affect the operation and movement of the car, and malfunctions are detected much later, when the negative consequences of deactivating the sensors appear. Symptoms of the indicators turning off include unstable engine operation, excessive fuel consumption, and excessive wear of parts.

Symptoms of malfunction

The main driver symptom of P0222 is the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) illumination. It is also called Check engine or simply “check light”.

They can also appear as:

1. The “Check engine” warning light on the control panel will light up.
2. Unstable or low idle speed.
3. Increased engine speed at idle.
4. The engine stalls or has trouble starting.
5. The motor runs unevenly (pulsates).
6. There is no response to the gas pedal.

Other symptoms may also be present.

Self-diagnosis using BC

The owner can identify the main error codes of Priora 8 and 16 valves using the built-in controller and on-board computer (BC), without resorting to the services of car service diagnosticians. To do this, you must activate the vehicle testing option. The arrows on the instrument panel move to the maximum possible position. Further manipulations are performed in the following sequence:

How to reset errors?

Upon completion of self-diagnosis, errors must be reset. How to perform this action can be found in the corresponding recommendations of the car manufacturer. In practice, it has been established that the reset procedure is identical to the manipulations to launch a new system check. Here the controllers are reset and the reset itself occurs, which is provided by special software tools present in the ECU software. The procedure is also performed during the next service in case of characteristic malfunctions. For example, code “0171” may be displayed with annoying consistency, indicating low-quality fuel in the LADA Kalina car system of the same name. This should alert the owner to changing the refueling location. Owners also consider “1545”, “0422” and “1426” to be common errors.

Checking with a plug-in tester

More accurate and comprehensive diagnostics can be performed using a connected computer or a special tester. However, the data displayed on the screen is alphanumeric. The letters have the following meaning:

In addition, the number 0 means OBD code 2, numbers 1 and 2 indicate the enterprise code, and 3 is the backup password.

Basic ignition system

(the letter P precedes the digital designation):

Fuel-air system

(the letter P is located before the numbers):

In principle, diagnostics using BC makes it possible to identify the main faults. Basic error codes for Priora 8 and 16 valves using a plug-in tester provide significantly more information. To understand it, you should study the decoding of indicators, which is not so difficult.

Modern Lada model

Like any modern foreign car, the Lada Priora has many different sensors installed. The condition of important vehicle systems depends on their correct operation. The problem is that if some sensors fail, the Priora can continue to move. Faults of this kind can lead to increased fuel consumption, unstable engine operation, and increased wear of parts, but the car will drive, and you will only find out about the fault when it means you have to make expensive repairs.

In order not to go into the engine compartment with a multimeter, the Priora has a controller that allows you to check faults using a special tester, a plug-in or built-in on-board computer. In order to diagnose the systems, just press 2 buttons and look at the error codes.

Diagnostics using the built-in BC

To view the error codes, you need to find the daily mileage reset button on the dashboard, press it and, holding it, turn the ignition key. The self-diagnosis mode will turn on. All arrows on the instruments should move from minimum to maximum values ​​and back, and all positions on the LCD display should light up. You need to look: if any position does not light up or the arrow on any device does not move, then you should check the corresponding sensors, their networks or display for malfunctions.

Priora on-board computer

In the same mode, press any button for switching modes of the built-in BC 2 times, after which digital codes may appear on the liquid crystal display:

Many drivers ask how to reset error codes on a Lada Priora. Perhaps their built-in BC is faulty, since a working on-board computer automatically exits the diagnostic mode after 30 seconds if you do not press any control buttons.

On which cars is this problem most common?

The problem with code P0222 can occur on different machines, but there are always statistics on which brands this error occurs more often. Here is a list of some of them:

• Chevrolet (Chevrolet Aveo, Cruze, Lacetti)
• Daewoo (Daewoo Matiz)
• Ford (Ford Ranger, Focus)
• Hyundai (Hyundai Solaris)
• Jeep (Jeep Grand Cherokee)
• Kia (Kia Sid)
• Land Rover (Land Rover Range Rover)
• Mazda (Mazda 6)
• Mercedes
• Mitsubishi (Mitsubishi Lancer)
• Nissan (Nissan Pathfinder)
• Opel
• Peugeot
• Skoda (Skoda Octavia)
• Ssangyong
• Subaru
• Toyota
• Volkswagen (Volkswagen Passat, Polo Sedan, Tiguan)
• VAZ 2114
• Gazelle
• Lada Granta, Kalina, Niva, Priora
• UAZ Patriot

With fault code P0222, you can sometimes encounter other errors. The most common are the following: P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P2100, P2105, P2106, P2135, P2160, U0151, U1900.

Checking using a connected computer or tester

Driver Information Panel

Checking system malfunctions using connected devices gives more accurate results, but at the same time requires deciphering special codes. For example, the monitor displays code p0441 or p0130 or error p0422. Oh, these car manufacturers, in human language they could write “replace the oxygen sensor” instead of P0130 or “check the canister valve” instead of P0441. But nothing can be done, the Lada Priora is also intended for export, so it is easier to write p0441 in the program than to give explanations in Russian, Kazakh, Arabic, Armenian and 10 other languages. And then attach special tables that indicate the meaning of certain codes. Just look at them and everything will become clear. But these tables are not included with the operating instructions. Either way, you can check them out below.

All fault codes for Lada Priora car systems consist of 5 characters. Here is a breakdown of Prior's errors.

The Latin letter comes first:

The system indicates an error

The next digit indicates the system in which the malfunction was found:

The last 2 digits indicate the serial number of the fault.

How to Troubleshoot or Reset Trouble Code P0222

Some suggested steps to troubleshoot and fix error code P0222:

1. Read all stored data and error codes using an OBD-II scanner. To find out when and under what circumstances the P0222 error appeared.
2. Clear the error codes from your computer's memory and test drive the vehicle to see if P0222 appears again.
3. Visually inspect the electrical wires and connections related to the throttle position sensor “A” for looseness or damage.
4. Compare the readings of the throttle position sensors “A” and “B” using a scanner, and if necessary, replace the faulty sensor.
5. Clear the error code from your computer memory again and test drive the vehicle to find out if the problem is resolved.

Diagnosis and problem solving

Carefully check the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), wiring connector and wiring for opens, etc. Repair or replace as necessary to resolve P0222.

Check the voltage at the TPS (see your vehicle's service manual for more information). If the voltage is too low, this indicates a problem. Replace the sensor if necessary.

If recently replaced, the TPS may need to be adjusted. On some vehicles, installation instructions require proper alignment or alignment (see repair manual for details).

If there are no symptoms, the problem may be intermittent and cleaning the code may temporarily resolve it. In this case, you should definitely check the wiring to make sure that it is not rubbing, worn out, etc.
