How to change instrument lighting on a Priora

Replacing the backlight of the Lada Priora instrument panel

Task: replace the dashboard backlight in Lada Priora

We remove the dashboard of the Lada Priora. Let's disassemble it, everything is simple (4 screws and everything else is secured with latches). Another important thing is to carefully remove the hands and not damage them. Peel off the lining (overlay with numbers) and on the back side of this lining we begin to erase the green coating. I washed with ear sticks and rubbing alcohol (solvent is not recommended).

Next, carefully remove the LCD screen. We take out the green filter, erase the green coating of the filter and put everything back

Next, we change 5 light bulbs to white LEDs (you can also install red or blue LEDs, whichever backlight you prefer). I bought white LEDs together with a base at a radio store.

Let's put everything back together in reverse order.

The photo shows that it shines brightly, but in real life it is much worse. After driving around, some diodes began to blink, apparently there was a bad contact, and I decided to change the backlight a little.

I bought 1 meter of LED strip and a soldering iron with a thin tip.

Let's begin. We take the tape and cut strips, 3 diodes in each, and solder the wiring to them. I took solid copper wire.

Next, glue these strips in the same way as shown in the photo. In some places it is necessary to drill holes for the wires.

Let's check this whole thing. To test the LEDs, I bought a 9 volt Krona battery. All diodes light up

We take the board and connect it to the car, turn on the dimensions and use the control light to find the plus and minus of the backlight. And solder the wiring to them.

Then we assemble everything and twist and insulate all the wires.

I wanted blue arrows. I bought blue fluorescent paint at an art salon. I wiped off the red coating on the hands and painted it.

It shines very brightly. You set the backlight control to minimum and everything is fine, it doesn’t dazzle. But still I decided to tint it with 20Koy.

Here is the final version of the work done. I spent 2 evenings on this matter and was pleased with the result. Now it shines evenly and brightly.

Result: work on replacing the dashboard backlight of the Lada Priora has been completed

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.

The Latin letter comes first:

• P - error in the electronic systems of the motor;
• C - error in the electronic systems of the chassis;
• B - error in interior electronics;
• U is an error in the joint operation of different systems.

Next comes the number:

• 0 - OBD-2 code;
• 1 - enterprise code;
• 2 - enterprise code;
• 3 - reserve code.

The system indicates an error

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

• 0 — exhaust;
• 1, 2 — fuel and air supply system;
• 3 - ignition;
• 4 - additional control;
• 5 — idle system;
• 6 - ESC;
• 7, 8 - transmission.

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

Changing the lamps in the dashboard

There are a total of 5 backlight lamps in the instrument panel on the Priora - 4 of which are in the middle and one illuminates the lower display.

We replace the lamps with regular or LED ones and reassemble them in the reverse order.

If you install LED lamps, be careful, they have polarity. Therefore, before installing the shield in place, connect the block, turn on the dashboard lights and check that all the lamps are on.

How to remove the center console (panel trim) of Lada Priora

The interior of Priora 2 (after the latest restyling) is significantly different from the previous version of the car. The interior now has a more stylish dashboard (dashboard) with the ability to install a modern multimedia system. If you are engaged in independent modifications or repairs of your car, then you will need instructions for removing the central lining (together with the tunnel, it is also called the “beard”).

The plastic center console is attached to the panel (dashboard) with 6 screws. To gain access to the lower two mounting screws, you will have to remove the tunnel cover:

1. Remove 2 screws under the heater and air conditioning control unit;
2. Remove the gearshift knob cover by prying it off with a flat screwdriver and remove the 3 screws under the cover;
3. Unscrew the 2 lower screws securing the center console .

To remove the remaining four screws for fastening the center console:

1. Remove the upper block of buttons and the plug by prying them off with a flat screwdriver or a plastic spatula;
2. Remove the 2 upper console mounting screws;
3. Remove the 2 middle console mounting screws .

Electric booster repair on a Priora: faults and their symptoms

Undoubtedly, the electric booster is a more reliable unit than a device running on hydraulics, but malfunctions also appear in the power steering. If they are detected, repairs must be carried out immediately, since the safety of the driver, his companions and other road users depends on the operation of the amplifier.

Complete failure of the EUR

As practice shows, this unit does not have many faults; breakdowns occur in the same parts. The first thing worth considering is the complete failure of the ESD. When you turn off the amplifier, you need to check the on-board computer screen; most likely, you will see a code there indicating a malfunction in the unit. But sometimes it is possible to determine when an amplifier is turned off only in practice.

We perform the following actions:

1. Turn off the engine and turn the steering wheel in different directions several times;
2. We repeat these steps, but with the engine running;
3. Has the steering effort changed? This means the node has completely shut down.

Even with the ESD not working, you can continue driving, but this is not recommended. The driver needs time to get used to driving with the help of an amplifier. It is better to immediately begin diagnostics and determine which component requires repair or replacement.

Sometimes the amplifier and speedometer stop working at the same time. The cause of this defect is a speed sensor that has failed. Taking a look at the electrical diagram, you will understand that these three elements are connected. The torque sensor supplies data to the control unit, it compares it with speed and determines the force. If the cause is the speed sensor, then the repair consists of checking the wiring that leads to this element. It is also worth checking the wires connecting the sensor to the speedometer and power steering. If there are no breaks in the switching, then the sensor should be changed.

Low voltage in the car network can also lead to the ESD turning off. Faults should be looked for in the wiring insulation. If it is damaged, short circuits will appear in the network. Also, violations in insulation lead to malfunction of the generator. To troubleshoot the problem, check the wiring and generator. The torque sensor contains many contacts, which, if heavily soiled, help turn off the power steering. In this case, repair means disassembling the unit and cleaning the contacts of the torque sensor.

Unpredictable steering behavior

The driver is driving on a flat road, the position of the steering wheel does not change, and suddenly the car turns to the side. Such unpredictable behavior of the power steering requires urgent diagnosis, since at the most inopportune moment the electric power steering of the Lada Priora can send the car to the side of the road or into the oncoming lane. In such a situation, you should stop driving and turn off the amplifier. To do this, we need to remove the fuse, which is responsible for supplying voltage to the amplifier.

To remove this fuse, you need to do the following:

1. The mounting block cover is located at the driver’s left foot;
2. We turn the clamps and unclip the fasteners;
3. You will find the block where the required fuse is located near the expansion tank;
4. Feel free to take out fuse F5 (50 A) - it is responsible for providing the power supply circuit to the power steering unit.

The reason for this behavior is a malfunction in the electric amplifier device. This could be a torque sensor, control unit, clogged contacts or mechanical damage. It is recommended that diagnostics be carried out by professionals, since in a garage you will not be able to check the control unit; replacement can be done with your own hands.

Hi all! I discovered a huge number of topics dedicated to instrument panel errors and many questions related to them, therefore, I decided to write everything in one topic. Materials were used from the Internet, and in particular: www.drive2.ru, www.priorovod.ru/

What does the dashboard consist of?

The Priora instrument panel contains all the necessary parts that no modern car can do without:

• regulator of external lighting and internal panel lighting;
• switch for turning, side and headlights;
• signal regulator;
• car instrument cluster;
• windshield wiper and washer regulator.

This is how the dashboard works

In addition, the panel contains an ignition switch connected to the anti-theft system. It contains 3 positions. Among the secondary mechanisms, we can note the presence of regulators for the rear window heating system, alarm and interior cooling. It is also worth mentioning the glove compartment, built-in clock and radio input jack.

Sometimes a certain panel element becomes unusable and you have to look for ways to replace it. In this case, you will need to disassemble the interior. Below is how to disassemble the instrument panel.

Required

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

• 2170-3801010-50 without CAN bus;
• 2170-3801010-60 from CAN bus.

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.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Set the steering wheel to the lower position.

2. Next we need to remove the instrument panel trim. It is secured with four Phillips screws.

Unscrew the 2 screws on top.

In order to get to the lower mounting screws, you need to remove the plastic from the bottom of the steering wheel.

To remove, turn the three latches counterclockwise half a turn.

After turning the clamps from above, pry up the plastic with your hand and remove it.

3. Unscrew the 2 lower screws securing the instrument panel trim.

4. Using both hands, remove the cover. Let's start from the top.

Be careful not to break the latches.

5. Unscrew the 2 screws securing the dashboard using a Phillips screwdriver.

6. After unscrewing the screws, pull the dashboard slightly towards you.

Voltmeter instead of a Priora watch

The current time is displayed on the Priora dashboard, so there is no particular need for a separate clock.

To install a voltmeter instead of a clock you will need:

• digital voltmeter with LED scale of suitable size;
• hot glue;
• file;
• knife or jigsaw;
• a piece of plexiglass or CD case;
• a piece of tint film.

To install a voltmeter in the body of a standard clock, you need to dismantle it and remove the mechanism. After this, you need to install the voltmeter panel into the case, slightly filing its corners. It is better to secure the panel to the housing with hot glue.

There is a hole in the middle of the glass for the time adjustment knob, so you need to find a replacement for it. You can cut new glass from a CD case or from a piece of plexiglass. To hide the “filling” of the voltmeter, the glass should be tinted before installation, for example, with a piece of tinting film. In this case, only the luminous LED display of the voltmeter will be visible from the outside.

Next, all that remains is to solder the wires to the voltmeter terminals and insert the voltmeter instead of the Priora clock. Connecting the wires will be discussed below.

What does the dashboard consist of?

On the panel? Priora devices have all the necessary parts, without which no modern car can do:

• regulator of external lighting and internal lighting panel;
• switch for rotary, dimensional and lighting regulators;
• headlight signal;
• car instrument cluster;
• wiper regulator and windshield washer.

In addition to the panel, there is an ignition switch connected to the anti-theft system. It contains 3 positions. Among the secondary mechanisms, we can note the presence of regulators for the rear window heating system, alarm and interior cooling. It is also worth mentioning the glove compartment, built-in clock and radio input jack.

Sometimes a certain element of the panel becomes unusable and you have to look for ways to replace it. In this case, you will need to disassemble the interior. Below we discuss how to disassemble the instrument panel.

The exclamation mark is on - what to do?

We have noticed that new topics often appear on car forums where drivers ask about the exclamation marks that are displayed on the Lada Priora panel. They rarely specify where it is lit and what is depicted on the icon. In this section we have collected a small FAQ Below are all the exclamation marks that can light up on the instrument panel of a VAZ 2170 car. The designations of these icons are as follows:

• The red exclamation mark in the circle (bottom) is lit. The indicator indicates that there is a problem with the vehicle's brake system. This is usually a low brake fluid level. Add it to the tank and, most likely, the sign will stop lighting. If this does not happen, then it is worth checking the system for damaged components. When igniting, the indicator lights up for 4 seconds and then goes off.
• The red exclamation mark in the triangle/circle (above) is lit. Modern versions use a triangle instead of a circle. The indicator tells us about defects in the operation of the brake force distributor. Use extreme caution if the light comes on while driving.
• Exclamation mark next to the steering wheel icon. When illuminated for a long time, it indicates a malfunction in the electric power steering (EPS). Like other icons, it lights up when ignited and goes out after a few seconds if the system is working properly.

Sometimes the indication is caused by faults in the electronics. Terminals are coming off, contacts are oxidized, defects in the on-board computer are a few reasons for the random appearance of icons. To avoid damaging one of the systems, check the electronics first. To do this, it is enough to dismantle the device on the Lada Priora and see if the terminals are securely seated in the sockets. If the brake system indicator lights up, first check the fluid level in the reservoir, and only then fill in new antifreeze.

Stages of removing the casing

Before removing the trim from the clips, you must remove all bolts, clamps and fasteners that are located in different parts of the door. It is most convenient to do this in a certain order.

Before you begin removing the door trim, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

From the front door

To remove the door trim on a Lada Priora, you need to get rid of all the fasteners. To do this, follow the following procedure.

1. Unscrew the button responsible for locking the door and remove it.
2. Unscrew the screw on the inside door handle.
3. Remove the handle by carefully moving it away with a flat-head screwdriver.
4. Find the two screws in the special pocket that secure the power window control module. They can be hidden under a rubber mat.
5. Unscrew both screws and remove the ESP module. Now you need to disconnect the connector with wires from it.
6. Locate the three screws at the bottom of the door that secure the trim to the door. Turn them inside out.
7. This way you got rid of all the screws and fasteners. Now you need to take a flat-head screwdriver and carefully pry off the casing at the bottom.
8. Unsnap all eight clips, which are indicated in the diagram, starting from the bottom of the door. Be careful at this stage: broken fasteners are quite difficult to repair.
9. Carefully remove the trim. If done correctly, you should encounter almost no resistance.

Location of the main screws that prevent the removal of the casing

after you remove the trim, your door will look like this

Due to their small size, screws and clips are often lost. To make the reassembly process easier for yourself, before starting work, prepare a container where you will put all the small parts.

To install the trim in place, place it against the door. Make sure the fasteners are in place. Insert and tighten the lock button. Thanks to this, you can pre-fasten the door components. Make sure the handle fits into its hole. Now you can snap all the clips into place and screw the screws back in.
