Lada Kalina is already equipped from the factory with a special on-board computer mounted directly into the instrument panel. Thanks to this, you can react as quickly as possible and diagnose the problem that has arisen. There is a self-diagnosis mode for this. Unless the previous owner was motivated by selfish goals and “turned out” these light bulbs, in which case they need to be replaced.
Errors are shown as a digital code and in this article we will tell you how to read them correctly and make the right decision.
How to reset error codes
After automatic diagnostics, errors must be reset. This is done so that they do not interfere or confuse the user during subsequent diagnostics. You can find out how to reset everything from the manufacturer's recommendations. But in practice, for example, an ECU error is reset by running a new check on the dashboard. In the service station, the controllers are reset in a slightly different order. There are other options:
- The ECU error is reset using the device and software. Therefore, we recommend that you stop by and check your car more often. It is during such checks that common breakdowns specific to this vehicle can be discovered.
- Code 0171 may be constantly displayed. This indicates that the fuel is of poor quality. Such a signal serves as a reason to think about changing it.
- Other than that, p1545, 0422, and 1426 are very common codes, so they're worth looking at. If they appear again after a reset, you must contact technical service for more accurate diagnosis and troubleshooting.
Specialists will help you sort out the problems if you yourself don’t know how to get rid of them.
Electronic control unit
Another common cause of problems with the Lada Kalina is the Electronic Control Unit, also known as the ECU, or the brains. In itself, it is a fairly reliable thing and if you don’t touch it, there will be no problems with it, but very often it turns out that it ends up flooded.
Yes, yes, this is the main problem with its malfunction. This often happens when antifreeze spills from the stove, since the unit is located almost under the radiator.
Often, when installing, say, an alarm system, when pulling wires into the interior, they forget to insert or insert the plugs poorly, and then splashes of water can get on the unit, which is also not good. It's useless to fix your brain.
Most often they will have to be changed, the only thing you can do is to protect yourself from such a turn of fate by moving the block
management to another location.
No, you can, of course, wrap the block with plastic film or fill it with sealant, but in this case the brains will fail even earlier due to condensation that will inevitably appear inside.
It’s better not to risk it and move the brains somewhere under the glove compartment, for example, to do this we remove the plastic casing that is at the feet of the front passenger, on the left, remove the control unit from there - a flat metal box, and look for some safe place for it, of course the wires They're not particularly long, but they're long enough to hide the unit under the glove compartment.
In the updated Lada Kalina and Kalina 2nd generation, the ECU was moved to a different location, so this problem disappeared on new cars. But another one has appeared, if the drainage hole next to the cabin filter becomes clogged, then water through it during heavy rain gets to the ECU and almost the same thing happens. I advise you to check your water flow around the cabin filter more often!
Decoding combinations
Below we will look at the decoding of error codes. We will not consider all codes: only the most common combinations that indicate a breakdown are given.
Self-diagnosis
When the instrument panel enters self-diagnosis mode, all arrows on it will show the maximum value and drop back down
So, what codes can be seen when self-diagnosing Lada Kalina.
| Code | Error interpretation |
| 2 | Code 2 means excess voltage in the vehicle's on-board network. |
| 3 | This code indicates a malfunction of the gasoline level sensor in the fuel tank. Possible circuit break. |
| 4 | When this code appears, the car owner needs to pay attention to the operation of the antifreeze temperature sensor. There is also a possibility of a circuit break. |
| 5 | There is a problem with the outside temperature sensor. |
| 6 | The control unit (CU) detected engine overheating. It is recommended to deal with this problem before further operation of the car. |
| 7 | Emergency lubricant pressure in the internal combustion engine is reported. |
| 8 | If you see this code on the dashboard, then you need to check the functionality of the brake system. The on-board computer recorded an error or breakdown in its operation. |
| 9 | The on-board computer reports that the battery charge is too low. It is recommended to perform a more thorough check of the battery. |
| E | An error has been reported in the data packet stored in the EEPROM. |
Diagnostics using equipment
Error number “4” that appears during self-diagnosis of Lada Kalina
If you check your car for errors using special equipment, then, as stated above, the combinations will be four-digit, and the code will be preceded by a letter.
First, let's look at what the letters and numbers mean.
- B - indicates a malfunction of the body, that is, we are talking about airbags, central locking, electric windows. Of course, this is true for Lada Kalina cars equipped with these devices;
- C - means an error in the operation of the chassis;
- P - indicates a malfunction in the functioning of the engine or automatic transmission.
What does the second number mean:
- 0 – common code for OBD-II;
- 1 – number of the car manufacturer;
- 2 – number of the car manufacturer;
- 3 – reserve code.
The third symbol directly indicates the type of malfunction:
- 1 – malfunction of the fuel system or air supply;
- 2 – malfunctions in the fuel system or air supply are also reported;
- 3 – malfunctions in the ignition system were detected;
- 4 – auxiliary control;
- 5 – malfunctions in idle speed;

Candles
If the electronics are fine, there are still a lot of options why the engine won’t start. A common reason is that the candles are simply flooded.
Most often, candles are flooded in winter . Compression in the cold does not correspond to the parameters, so the engine does not start immediately. Often the spark plugs flood due to a weak battery that does not produce a normal spark, the wiring or the spark plugs themselves.
The easiest way to dry the spark plugs is to simply press the gas all the way to the floor and turn the engine with the starter for a few seconds (10-15). If there is nothing serious, then, as a rule, it will start (it rarely helps in winter), but if not, you will have to dry the spark plugs.
To do this, they need to be pulled out, cleaned of carbon deposits, for example with a toothbrush, the main thing is that the gap remains the same ( 0.8-1mm ), and then dried. You can use a hair dryer or even an oven if you are in a hurry.
Prudent drivers keep a spare set of spark plugs in the car for such cases. In order not to have to go to work in a minibus in the morning and not bother with drying, you can simply screw in spare candles, and in the evening, after work, calmly dry the main ones.
To reduce the risk that the spark plugs will be flooded, you need to constantly monitor the battery so that it is always charged and every two to three days, while driving, load the engine for 10 seconds to 4500-5000 rpm so that it cleans itself of carbon deposits and all sorts of deposits in the chamber.
Decoding error codes Kalina 1.6 8 and 16 valves
Many owners of this model will be interested in knowing how error codes for Kalina 1.6 8 and 16 valves are deciphered. The on-board computer installed in the car not only controls the operation of the car's systems, but can perform self-diagnosis and inform the driver about any malfunctions in the car. This significantly increases safety and increases the service life of machine components and assemblies. Every driver of this model must be able to deal with emerging alarms in a timely manner.
Decoding error codes for Kalina 1.6 8 and 16 valves will be shown in this article.
You can make a printout and take it with you. If suddenly an alarm signal appears during a trip, it will be much easier for the driver to make the right decision about what to do in the situation that has arisen, continue the trip or wait for help from specialists. The system works in such a way that errors from problems that arise are stored by the on-board computer. They can be read later using special diagnostic equipment.
How to perform diagnostics yourself?
Sometimes even the most reliable and smart cars malfunction during operation. This can fully be attributed to Kalina. The on-board computer of this model is capable of analyzing the current situation and telling the driver about problems. You can test the car in specialized centers or yourself. There is a possibility of errors during self-diagnosis, but it is advisable to carry it out.
Self-check procedure:
- Turn off the ignition;
- It is necessary to press the daily mileage button and hold it in this position for some time;
- While holding this button, turn on the ignition;
- After this, all the indicators on the dashboard should move, they should travel from the zero mark to the maximum. Now you should press the button on the steering column wiper switch. This makes it possible to display readings on the dashboard.
Check light on Kalina: what to do
Owners of a domestic car, the Kalina model, are often faced with various situations in which they do not know what to do. One of them is that the check light on Kalina is on. In this article we will look at various situations and options for solving them using specific examples. So: why does the check light on Kalina light up? It is impossible to answer this question unambiguously, because there can be many reasons, as well as prerequisites for them.
Situation 1
The thermostat was replaced, after which problems began: the gearshift lever began to vibrate. The ignition coil failed, and electricity stopped flowing to cylinders 1 and 4. The coil was replaced, after which the engine runs properly, but the light remains on. The error check indicated these codes - 34-6-8. After updating the error codes were no longer issued, but the “check” indicator continues to light. Options: Remove the terminals from the battery for five minutes. During this time, all ECU errors should be updated. This is the simplest and most effective option, which usually helps.
Situation 2
The car was working properly, manufactured in 2008. But at one point, during the trip, it stalled for no apparent reason. At the same time, the fuel pump shows no signs of life, the car does not start after repeated attempts. The fuses have been searched for the cause of combustion. No results received. After some time, the car starts, but the engine speed jumps from 3,000 to 35,000 thousand. When the speed is turned on, they do not fall; the driving turns from slow to very fast, even without pressing the gas pedal. The result of the day was the “Check” sensor lighting up. Options 1. Replace the throttle sensor. 2. Change the idle speed control relay. 3. The microswitch has fallen off, check the connector. It is located on the clutch pedal.
Situation 3
On a Lada Kalina, the check engine light comes on after the car has been refueled. In this situation, the instruction manual allows driving, but advises contacting specialists at the first opportunity. Options Contact your dealer for diagnostics to fix the problem and determine the cause.
Situation 4
The check light on Kalina is on, the reasons are unclear. This sensor began to indicate problems from the moment the car was purchased at the dealership. At the same time, the car works properly. Pouring gasoline of varying quality did not bring any results. Action options 1. Go to a car service center to find out the causes and eliminate the error. 2. Clear the error by removing the terminals from the battery. 3. Purchase STATE 1ХМ-У for cars with E gas, also 1ХМ with a cable. The cost is about 1 thousand rubles. A convenient thing for monitoring your car. Purchased at car service centers or on the company’s website. 4. One of the reasons may be that the heater on the ECU is leaking.
Situation 5
The check light is on on Kalina 8 valves, year of manufacture 2010, mileage 25 thousand km. Resetting errors does not give any results. Options for action 1. Go to a car service center for diagnostics. 2. Replacing spark plugs. 3. Checking contacts. 4. Faulty catalyst. 5. Lambdas. When choosing options to fix the problem, it is still better to give preference to diagnostics in the service. Otherwise, a small problem can lead to large financial investments.
How to decipher errors?
During testing, fault codes on the Lada on-board computer are displayed in four-digit form. In this case, the error itself is usually preceded by a letter.
Designation of the first character that appears in the code:
- B - problems with the car body. In particular, we can talk about electric windows and airbags, if the car is equipped with them, as well as central locking.
- C - malfunction in the suspension or chassis of the car or the power steering.
- P is the letter that is displayed more often than others during verification. It means a malfunction in the power unit or transmission system.
The second symbol in the combination means:
- 0 - general code for OBD-2;
- 1 — symbol of the vehicle manufacturer;
- 2 - designation similar to the previous one;
- 3 - reserve code.
The symbol that comes third in the combination determines the type of breakdown:
- 1 - malfunction in the functioning of the fuel unit or air supply system;
- 2 - code designation similar to the previous one;
- 3 - the on-board computer has detected problems with the functioning of the ignition system;
- 4 — auxiliary control symbol;
- 5 - problems associated with the idle speed of the vehicle;
- 6 - errors in the functioning of the ECU or the electrical circuit to which the device is connected;
- 7 and 8 - malfunctions in the operation of the transmission unit.
The 24 Hours channel talked about the verification and decoding of the resulting combinations.

The oxygen sensor has become unusable
The importance of this component of the on-board engine management system (or ECU) for any car, including the Lada Kalina with an 8-valve engine, cannot be overestimated. Over time, the lambda probe requires replacement. This sensor serves to record the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gas stream. Receiving certain impulses from this oxygen sensor, the on-board control module adjusts the composition of the mixture, which leads to a decrease in the volume of unburned oxygen in the exhaust. Also, the operation of the lambda probe partially characterizes the level of fuel consumption.
Failure of the designated sensor initiates the appearance of the warning lamp, and as mentioned above, the reasons are different. This action is performed due to the lack of a signal from the computer required to control mixture formation. Such a malfunction entails an increase in fuel consumption and causes a decrease in the power level of the power plant. Most modern cars are equipped with two or four lambda probes.
It is not difficult to determine the fact that the oxygen sensor has failed. Here you will need to connect the scanner to the appropriate diagnostic socket of the car and turn on the reading program in the device. Faulty sensors cannot be repaired and are therefore replaced with new analogues.
The main reasons for the probe to malfunction, if the check engine light comes on, is contamination of its working element with oil impurities entering the exhaust manifold. In this case, there is a decrease in sensitivity, leading to incorrect readings.
Neglecting the problem can cause a malfunction of such an expensive exhaust circuit component as a catalyst. The cost of the sensor itself is commensurately less than the price of the neutralizer, so we do not recommend delaying the replacement of the lambda. The replacement procedure is characterized by the absence of difficulties. The main thing here is to adhere to the provisions of the relevant instructions.
Diagnosis of errors
When you begin to notice something unusual in the behavior of your car, or there are obvious problems in its operation, then it certainly makes sense to have it diagnosed. Naturally, the OBD-II diagnostic connector will show errors most efficiently and accurately, however, not everyone has sockets to control this connector and has to use the standard one.
In order to enter self-diagnosis mode, you must:
- Turn off the ignition.
- Click on the daily vehicle mileage button.
- Then, continuing to hold it, turn the key in the lock.
- Thanks to this, all available indicators will light up, and the dial indicators will go into self-test mode and show data from zero to maximum.
- When this happens, use the button located on the steering column switch and use it to switch the data on the instrument panel.
- To read the fault codes, we need the last one - the third screen. Unambiguous error codes will be displayed there.
Displaying the error code on the third screen of the bookmaker. The photo shows error 4 (faulty coolant temperature sensor).
timing belt
A terrible problem that occurs with viburnum is a broken timing belt. It is impossible not to notice this problem. It doesn’t happen that you start the car in the morning and the belt is broken.
No, the belt breaks while moving and nothing good can happen here. The valves meet the pistons and bend them, and the entire piston can often break apart, which can lead to expensive repairs.
These are all 16 valve engines; eight valve engines do not have such consequences, because the pistons have recesses for the valves, and it is these recesses that help avoid collisions between the valves and the pistons.
No one is safe from a belt rupture, just check it more often, then you can notice the threat of a rupture and replace the belt that threatens to break in time. There is also an option to install pistons with grooves in a 16-valve engine, this will also help avoid serious consequences if the belt breaks.
Another problem - the pulley turned. Occasionally it happens that it turns over two or three teeth, because of this the sensor shows the wrong phase and the engine does not start. You need to remove the belt and check whether the mark on the pulley and the rear cover of the timing belt matches.
If not, then you need to turn the pulley (in rotation) until the marks match. The work is troublesome, you need to disassemble a lot of things to get where you need to, you also need to keep track of the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft, in general there is a lot of fuss.
Diagnostics
If you notice that something is wrong with the operation of the Lada Kalina vehicle, then it makes sense to diagnose the car. As a rule, all breakdowns appear immediately after checking the car. You can ask for help in carrying out diagnostics at a service station, where you will pay a certain amount for this service, or you can do everything yourself. Of course, with the help of special equipment there is a greater chance of identifying a malfunction, since when checking independently there is a possibility of obtaining inaccurate data.
So, let's start diagnosing the car ourselves. For this:
- Turn off the ignition.
- Press and hold the daily mileage reset button.
- While holding the button, turn the key in the ignition.
- Having done this, all sensor indicators on the dashboard will light up, and the arrows of the tachometer, speedometer, antifreeze temperature sensor and gasoline level in the fuel tank will move on a scale from zero to maximum. Next, press the button located on the steering column wiper switch. This way you can switch the data on the instrument panel screen. On the first one you can see the process of checking the functionality of the instrument panel. The second will show the version of the software installed in the car, and the third will show combinations of faults.
To check your car for breakdowns, hold down the daily mileage button and hold it while turning on the ignition key. At this time, all arrows will go from zero to maximum.
Then press the button located on the steering column wiper switch. This is done in order to switch the data mode on the instrument panel screen.
To read combinations of faults in a car, you will need the last screen. It will display clear codes. To obtain four-digit combinations of faults, use special equipment or the services of specialists at a service station.
Poor quality fuel
Spark plugs can also flood due to bad gasoline. This is another reason why the engine does not start. Very often, condensation forms in winter and clogs the coarse filter. To avoid this, periodically add pure alcohol to the tank in winter.
It smokes, sneezes, smokes like a snake Gorynych, this often happens in our time, but, as a rule, people have some remnants of conscience and they try not to reduce gasoline to a non-flammable state.
The car can even run on this kind of gasoline, the only problem is that it is absolutely not useful for the engine. To avoid this, refuel at large chain gas stations.
They, as a rule, monitor their reputation and do not allow this to happen, but if it turns out that you have filled in burnt gasoline, and even so much that the car does not want to start, you can drain the gasoline and fill in another, road gas, or if there is not much left , you can fill in more good 95 gasoline and its mixture with palenka will be more or less normal.
Of course, there are severe cases when filters and injectors become clogged and they have to be washed out for a long time and tediously (or whatever is easier to change), but this happens mainly when buying gasoline from some garage “oil workers”.
It’s quite easy to protect yourself from them - just refuel at trusted places and under no circumstances buy gasoline from any garage gas dealers. In principle, they are not such a common occurrence now, but they still occur, and people buy gasoline from them because it is cheaper, but it is better not to do this, the stingy pays twice - an immutable truth.
And if you really had to buy such a piece of water, at least filter it, there is no need to clog the filter with nozzles.
