Diagnosis of the VAZ Himself ?!

Several variants of Samara cars with VAZ-2111 engines go off the assembly line of
the Togliatti AvtoVAZ plant. These engines are equipped with a multi-point
distributed fuel injection system, which has several options.

The first version of the system is the fruit of collaboration between AvtoVAZ and
the American company GENERAL MOTORS (GM), which is intended only for
export. The car complies with the environmental standards of Euro-2, a converter is
installed on it, the injection system has an oxygen concentration sensor (DCC)
installed in the exhaust exhaust stream (VOG). But the engine should work only on
unleaded gasoline, otherwise the named elements will fail. Accessories for such an
injection system are supplied by GM.

The second option is for the domestic market. Its feature is the January-4
proprietary electronic control unit (ECU), the system components are Russian, it
does not have a converter and DCC, leaded gasoline is allowed. Details for the
second version of the system are produced in small batches at various domestic
enterprises. The contact connectors of the nodes and blocks in the systems of the
first and second variants are the same, some of them are interchangeable.

The third option appeared due to cooperation with the German company BOSCH.
Five “forces” have been added to the 2111 engine - now it develops 57 kW (77 hp) of
power. A new intake manifold is installed, and a camshaft with wider phases. Two
control units have been developed: a cheaper ECU-M1.5.4, which provides Euro-2
toxicity standards, and a promising ECU-MP 7.0, which is more expensive, but
meets the more stringent Euro-3 requirements. The third version of the system has
original connectors, and the system is not compatible with the first two.

You can determine what type of injection system the engine of a particular car is
equipped with by the inscription on the computer, which contains the VAZ catalog
number, name, serial number and date of manufacture of the unit. The computer is
also called the controller. The data for various types of controllers are given in table.
1-3.
ESAU-D controllers operate under the control of a program embedded in the ECU
storage device. Different versions of programs allow you to create controllers
modifications for working with different models of engines and ensure compliance
with various environmental standards.

Data on the software versions for the ESAU-VAZ, its correspondence to the type of
controller and their interchangeability are given in table. 4. In the table, the
numbers of interchangeable blocks and programs are grouped.
Explanation of the designation of the VAZ development software

As an example, consider the notation: M1 V 13 O 54.

First discharge

- letter and number (in the example - M1) - indicates the type (family) of the
controller:
J4 - family of control units January-4;
J5 - family of control units January-5;
M1 - a family of control units BOSCH Motronic M1.5.4;
M7 - a family of control units BOSCH Motronic MP7.0.

Second category

- the letter (in the example - V) - indicates the type of car, development status or
topic code:
V - all front-wheel drive cars of the VAZ family 2108, 2110;
N - a family of all-wheel drive models of VAZ cars.

Third rank

- two digits (for example 13) - indicates the conditional configuration number (00
... 99):
03 - Euro-2 toxicity standards, 2111 engine;
05 - Euro-2 toxicity standards, engine 2112;
07 - Russian toxicity standards, engine 2112;

08 - toxicity standards Euro-3 (EOBD), engine 2112;

13 - toxicity standards of Russia, engine 2111;


16 - toxicity standards Euro-3 (EOBD), engine 2111.

Fourth rank

- the letter (in the example - О) - indicates the software level (A ... Z); the farther
the letter from the beginning of the alphabet, the older the software level.

Fifth rank

- two digits (in the example - 54) - indicates the calibration version (00 ... 99); the
larger the number, the newer the calibration.

Thus, the example software is decrypted as:


M1 - control unit (controller) BOSCH Motronic M1.5.4;
V - a family of front-wheel drive cars VAZ;
13 - 8 valve 1.5 liter 2111 engine, Russian toxicity standards;
O - software version - O;
54 is a calibration version No. 54.

By changing the calibrations, it is possible to achieve some improvement in the


dynamic characteristics of the engine, reducing fuel consumption and toxic
emissions in the VOG. To change calibrations, there are special programs and
devices for their implementation, and for different types of controllers different
methods of replacing “CHIP tuning” have been developed (adjustments to the ECU
control program). As an example, in table. 5 shows the tuning firmware for the
BOSCH M1.5.4 1411020-70 ECU.
Component composition, functions, arrangement of ESAU-D elements
on the example of a VAZ-2111 engine with MP7.0 BOSCH controller

The ESAU-D, equipped with an MP7.0 controller and installed on the VAZ-2111
engine, is similar in principle to the Motronic BOSCH system and applies to the
ESAU-D with the combination of injection and ignition functions.

In addition to the injection and ignition control, the ESAU-D controls the idle
speed, the electric gas pump, the purge of the adsorber for the gas vapor recovery
system (SUPP), the “Check Engine” warning lamp, the cooling fan and the air
conditioning compressor clutch (if installed). In addition, the ESAU-D generates
signals proportional to the vehicle speed and fuel consumption for the trip
computer, as well as a signal about the engine speed for the tachometer. The
controller provides interaction with an external diagnostic device through a special
connector located in the passenger compartment. The domestic ESAU-D has a self-
diagnosis function, which allows you to record the occurring malfunctions, identify
them, write them into memory, inform the driver by turning on the “Check Engine”
warning lamp. Diagnostic information can be output from the RAM of the
computer through the diagnostic connector to an external scanner.

It should be noted that turning on the “Check Engine” lamp during movement does
not require an instant engine stop, as, for example, in situations with emergency
loss of oil pressure in the lubrication system or emergency engine overheating, but
only indicates the need to check the engine in the near future. The ESAU-D
controller has emergency modes that ensure engine operation in the event of many
malfunctions, with the exception of the most severe ones, for example, when the
crankshaft position sensor fails. To ESAU-D, you can connect a car theft protection
system.

Structurally, the ESAU-D consists of a set of sensors, an ECU, a set of actuators and
a wiring harness with connectors.

Electronic control unit (controller)

ECU is the central unit of ESAU-D. It receives analog information from sensors,
processes it with the help of analog-to-digital converters, and implements control of
executive devices according to the program laid down in the ROM. The computer is
connected to the electrical circuit via a 55-pin connector. The computer is located
under the dashboard console (see. Fig. 1).
The purpose of the contacts and some data for monitoring are given in table. 6.
ESAU-D sensors (VAZ)
Mass Air Flow Sensor (DMRV)

GM and BOSCH used in the VAZ ESAU-D DMRVs differ in the shape of the cases
and output signals. The GM sensor (HFM-5) generates a frequency signal for the
GM and January-4 controllers, and the BOSCH sensor (HFM-5SL)
- An analog signal for BOSCH and January-5 control units.

A typical malfunction of the DMRV is a break in the wires from the sensor or a
break in the platinum thread of the sensor itself. With such malfunctions, the idle
speed rises to 2000 rpm. While driving in separate modes, detonation is possible.

When a sensor fails, it can occasionally give the wrong signal (typical for frequency
sensors), and this does not lead to the entry of a fault code in the controller's
memory. In this case, even when driving without acceleration, large “dips” occur
and the idling becomes unstable, which can lead to engine shutdown. ESAU-D, in
the event of a failure, the air flow sensor switches to the standby mode, calculating
the air flow according to the signal from the DPKV crankshaft position sensor (the
signal contains information about the engine speed) and the signal from the DPS.
The malfunction is recorded in the memory by the corresponding error code
(P0102-P0103) and is indicated by the “Check Engine” lamp.

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

The sensor is designed to determine the position of the throttle.


With the shutter closed, the signal generated by the sensor is 0.5 ... 0.6 V, with the
shutter open, 4.5 ... 4.8 V.
Throttle position data is necessary for the control unit to calculate the duration of
the electrical impulses to control the nozzles and determine the optimum ignition
timing.

Potentiometric DPSs of VAZ injection engines usually fail due to wear of the
conductive tracks of the resistor plate and improperly selected spring force pressing
the resistor plate to the connector pins.

Often there are defective sensors of Russian production, they give an unstable
signal with a voltage of 0.25 ... 0.7 V with the throttle closed.

A sign of a faulty sensor is increased or floating idle speed. In the event of a failure
of the TPS, the ESAU-D replaces it with a signal calculated from the crankshaft
speed and the DMRV signal. The malfunction is recorded in the memory by the
corresponding error code (P0122-P0123) and is indicated by the “Check Engine”
lamp.

The gauge of temperature of a cooling liquid (DTOZh)

The temperature sensor is a thermistor with a negative coefficient of resistance (R


\u003d 470 Ohm at 130 ° C and R\u003e 100 kOhm at -40 ° C). The ESAU-D
controller calculates the temperature of the coolant using the voltage drop on the
DTOZh using its value in most engine control functions. In the event of a failure of
the DTOZH ESAU-D calculates the temperature according to the engine operating
time and the DMRV readings. The DTOZ malfunction is recorded in the memory
with the corresponding error code (P0115, P0117, P0118) and is indicated by the
“Check Engine” lamp. In the table. 7 shows the data for checking the temperature
sensor using a digital tester.

Knock Sensor (DD)

In DD, a sensitive piezoceramic element is used, which generates an alternating


voltage during vibration. The amplitude and frequency of the signal depend on the
level of detonation in the engine, which allows the ESAU-D controller to adjust the
ignition timing accordingly to suppress the detonation that has occurred. You can
check the DD using an oscilloscope: a correctly working DD generates a sinusoidal
waveform with a duration of 4 ... 6 ms and an amplitude of 2.5 ... 3 V (you can cause
detonation by abruptly opening the throttle on a working ICE). A malfunction in the
DD path is recorded in the memory with the corresponding error code (P0327,
P0328) and is indicated by the “Check Engine” lamp.
Oxygen sensor

Modern injection systems are performed in two versions - with and without
feedback. Feedback assumes the presence of a DCC (lambda probe) in the exhaust
pipe and a catalytic converter. With an air-fuel ratio of 14.7: 1 in the air-fuel mixture
(this ratio is called stoichiometric), the catalytic converter most effectively reduces
the amount of harmful substances (CO, CH, NOX) emitted with exhaust gases. To
optimize the composition of the exhaust gases, in order to increase fuel efficiency
and achieve the highest efficiency of the converter operation, closed-loop fuel
supply control is used with feedback using a signal to the DCC. An oxygen
concentration sensor, the sensitive element of which is located in the exhaust gas
stream, generates a signal in the form of an abrupt change in voltage from 0.1 to 0.9
V (0.1 V is a poor TV mix; 0.9 V is a rich TV mix), with a transition through the
average value of 0.45 V, when the TV mixture is stoichiometric. Based on the data
received from DCC, the ESAU-D controller changes the composition of the air-fuel
mixture, keeping it close to stoichiometric.

Serviceable and warmed up to operating temperature (more than 300 ° С), DCC
generates a signal with a frequency of 1 ... 5 Hz. A malfunction in the DCC path or a
failure of the sensor itself is recorded in the memory with the corresponding error
code (P0130, P0132, P0134) and is indicated by the Check Engine lamp.

Vehicle Speed \u200b\u200bSensor (DSA)

DSA consists of a stator with a Hall element and a rotor with a magnet. While the
vehicle is moving, the DSA generates a signal with a frequency of 6 pulses per 1 m of
movement. The ESAU-D controller determines the speed by the pulse repetition
rate of the DSA. A typical malfunction of the DSA is mechanical damage to the
sensor, while the speedometer does not work and the “Check Engine” lamp lights
up. One of the codes is entered into the memory - P0500 or P0503. It should be
noted that this failure does not affect the operation of the engine, which is
sometimes used by unscrupulous owners, turning off the ACD to hide the real
mileage of the car. On the example of the operation of a VAZ-21102 automobile, the
average time between failure of a DSA of domestic production does not exceed 1.5 ...
2 years (or 20 ... 30 thousand kilometers).

Crankshaft Position Sensor (DPKV)

On VAZ-2110, 2112 vehicles with distributed gasoline injection, the DPKV is


controlled from a special disk (sensor rotor) with 60 teeth, which are placed in
increments of 6 degrees. Two teeth are missing for synchronization. The start of the
timing reference for the ESAU-D controller is the first tooth after two missing teeth,
while the crankshaft is in the 114 position to the top dead center (TDC) of the 1st
and 4th cylinders. The gear disk is located on the crankshaft pulley to drive the
generator, and the DPKV is located on the cover of the oil pump. With a gap
between the sensor core and the tooth of the disk 1 ± 0.4 mm and a frequency of 30
± 5 rpm, the minimum amplitude of the alternating voltage at the output of the
DPKV must be at least 0.28 V. The resistance of the working sensor is 500 ... 700
Ohms. There are cases of loss of contact in the connector and breakage of the lead
wires. Lead wires to protect against interference are shielded, a broken screen can
also lead to malfunctions in the DPKV path.

A malfunction in the DPKV path or a failure of the DPKV itself is recorded in the
memory with the corresponding error code (P0335, P0336) and indicated by the
Check Engine lamp, while the engine will not work.

Executive elements ESAU-D (VAZ)


Electric gasoline pump (EBN)

In ESAU-D (VAZ), a turbine-type EBN is used (Fig. 9, 11).


The electronic circuit breaker is activated by the controller via a relay. It is also
possible to turn on the electronic circuit breaker through the diagnostic connector
(closing the G and H circuit with each other). The ESAU-D program provides
automatic shutdown of the electronic circuit board if, after 2 s after turning on the
ignition or starter, the engine crankshaft does not rotate. Different dashboards with
different fuel level indicators are mounted on Samara cars. In this regard, fuel level
sensors (located on the monoblock of the gasoline pump) also exist in two versions:
21083 (with a high instrument panel), the resistance of the sensor is 0.25 Ohms -
with an empty tank and 20 kOhms - with a full one;
2112 (for cars with a “torpedo” 2108, 2110 and 2115). The electronic components
assembly with the sensor for VAZ cars with a high panel have a yellow installation
mark in the arrow zone (when installing the electronic computer, the arrow should
look back) and for the low one - without a mark or with a black mark. The EBNs
themselves are the same and if they are accidentally mixed up, then there will be
incorrect readings of the fuel level, but the engine will work fine.

Fuel injectors

Fuel injectors (see. Fig. 10, 11) are electromagnetic devices and are used to inject
gasoline into the intake valves of the calculated amount of fuel for the ECM. The
MP7.0 BOSCH controller uses a nozzle driver with a self-diagnosis function. It
detects a breakdown, a short circuit to ground, or defects in the power supply to the
injector control circuits. In this case, error codes P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204 are
generated and the “Check Engine” lamp turns on. A malfunction of this nature can
be easily diagnosed with a multimeter by checking the resistance of the winding of
each nozzle (11 ... 15 Ohms), the connecting harness - less than 1 Ohm.

Nozzles of various manufacturers (BOSCH, GM or domestic) are interchangeable in


internal resistance and in seats. It is better to change the nozzles as a set, as their
fuel atomizers are different. Nozzles of Russian manufacturers and BOSCH are less
susceptible to corrosion and, therefore, last longer. On the saddles of the nozzles
and at the ends of the shut-off elements, hard resinous deposits appear over time,
the main cause of nozzle failure. As a result, the following symptoms appear:
difficult start-up, unstable idling, failures during acceleration, increased fuel
consumption, loss of power and “triple” of the engine. Therefore, especially for
engines with a mileage of more than 100 thousand km, it is recommended to clean
nozzles. Inomotor specialists conducted a comparative analysis of the effectiveness
of various solvents and devices for cleaning nozzles and came to the conclusion: all
devices are similar in design, their capabilities and differ only in price. But cleaning
solvents have different efficiencies. The best was the solvent concentrate of the
American company Carbol Clean. According to reviews of firms from Angarsk,
Krasnodar, Moscow, Novosibirsk, Tolyatti, this concentrate is noticeably (on
average 15 ... 20%) more effective than others. Accordingly, its consumption is less
and cleaning is faster.

Ignition module (MOH) with candles

In the ESAU-D ignition system (VAZ), the MZ is used, consisting of a 2-channel


electronic switch and a pair of two-pin ignition coils (see Repair & Service No. 6,
2003, Fig. 11 on page 62). The ignition system provides damping of detonation
according to a special algorithm using DD. The ignition system has no moving parts
and therefore requires no maintenance. In the event of a malfunction of any MH
element, it is necessary to replace the entire assembly. Symptoms of MH
malfunction are diverse: from malfunctions of the engine in certain modes to its
stop. The control lamp does not light up. To diagnose a malfunction in the ignition
system, it is necessary to check the presence of power supply to the MV (terminal
“D” - +12 V supply, terminal “C” - common), the presence and serviceability of the
controller’s connection to the MV (terminal “B” MV - terminal 1 controller and pin
“A” MZ - pin 21 of the controller) and the resistance of high-voltage wires
(approximately 15,000 ohms).

Domestic MZ 42.3705 consists of two ignition coils with two high-voltage leads and
a 2-channel switch, assembled in one monoblock and filled with a compound (Fig.
12).
Until April 1999, the modules were filled with a silicone compound, which did not
adhere well to the parts and was not plastic enough. When heated, the silicone
exfoliated from the monoblock body and moisture formed in the cracks that
formed, after which the module failed.

Since April 1999, instead of silicone compound, polyurethane has been used. After
that, the number of failures of the Ministry of Health decreased by 80%. MH
produced by the Moscow plant MZATE-2 (formerly ATE-2) is used with BOSCH
and January-5 controllers. This module is not suitable for control systems with GM
and January-4 units.

The ignition system of the VAZ-2111 engine is equipped with A-17DVRM spark
plugs (or an analog) with a noise suppressor resistor of 4 ... 10 kOhm and a copper
core. The gap between the electrodes is 1.00 ... 1.13 mm. The VAZ-2112 engine is
equipped with AU-17DVRM candles, which can also be used on the VAZ-2111
engine. Based on the experience of operating VAZ-21102 vehicles, the average
MTBF of a domestic production of candles is 1-1.5 years (or 20-30 thousand
kilometers).

Idle control (IAC)


IAC (Fig. 13) is installed in the bypass (bypass) air supply channel of the throttle
pipe and controls the idle speed of the crankshaft with the throttle closed (see
diagram in Fig. 11), while it helps to reduce exhaust toxicity. During engine braking,
when the throttle abruptly closes, IAC increases the amount of air supplied to
bypass the throttle, thereby ensuring lean TV mixture. It also provides a reduction
in exhaust toxicity.

It should be noted that incorrect engine idling is not always associated with a failure
of the IAC. Violation of the engine idling can be caused by:
oversaturated TV mix;
re-enriched with TV mixture;
throttle defect;
incorrect operation of the crankcase ventilation system;
clogged air filter;
air leaks in the intake manifold.

Only after eliminating all these problems should I deal with IAC. Checking the IAC
in the absence of a special tester is very problematic. The only thing that can be
done is to ring the IAC windings for an open or short circuit (the resistance of the
windings should be 40 ... 80 Ohms) and inspect it for obvious defects. Based on the
experience of operating VAZ-21102 vehicles, the average time between failures of
IAC domestic production (2112-1148300-82) is 1.5-2 years (or 40 ... 50 thousand
kilometers). IAC failure detected by the diagnostic system is recorded by error
codes P0506, P0507 and the “Check Engine” lamp is turned on.

Diagnostics ESAU-D (VAZ)


Self diagnostic function

ESAU-D (VAZ), like the Motronic system, has a built-in self-diagnosis function,
through which the ECU compares the signals generated by the sensors and the
signals received by the actuators with the standard values \u200b\u200bof these
signals, which are stored in the computer's permanent memory . The detected
malfunctions and the corresponding operating parameters are entered into the
controller memory. This data can be analyzed during maintenance using diagnostic
equipment that connects to a standard diagnostic connector.

To promptly inform the driver about errors in the ESAU-D operation, there is a
“Check Engine” warning lamp in the VAZ instrument cluster. If this error occurs in
the system for a short time, and then does not appear for a long time, then after
some time the lamp goes out (however, the diagnostic trouble code is stored in
memory). If the error does not disappear, then the lamp lights up constantly,
reminding you of the need for diagnostics. The memory is cleared from the
recorded error codes either by disconnecting the controller from the power source
for at least 10 s, or using special diagnostic equipment.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DK), code table

AvtoVAZ strives to maintain compatibility of fault codes with the ODB-II standard
(SAE / MFG). Although not all codes are supported, gradually their number is
growing.

The error code format for ODB-II is as follows:


The first letter in the code means the system of the car in which the malfunction
occurred: B - Body (body), C - Chassis (chassis), P - Powertrain (power unit), U -
Network (on-board network).
The first digit in the code means the authorship of the error: if "0", then this is SAE
(J2012); if "1", then this is MFG (a specific code that is necessary for the car
manufacturer).
The second digit in the code means the subsystem and stands for:
1 - fuel-air engine subsystem (Fuel and Air Metering);
2 - fuel-air engine subsystem (injection circuit) Fuel and Air Metering (Injector
Circuit);
3 - ignition and failure subsystem (Ignition Systems or Misfire);
4 - Auxiliary Emission Controls. Should appear in the VAZ ECU with the transition
to Euro-3 emission standards;
5 - subsystem for regulating engine speed, speed and idle (Vehicle Speed \u200b
\u200bControl and Idle Control System);
6 - circuit output computer (Computer Output Circuit);
7 - transmission (Transmission).

The last two digits indicate the fault code itself.


In the table. Figure 8 shows the diagnostic trouble codes supported by the
controllers.
AvtoVAZ (codes used by the BOSCH MP7.0 controller are highlighted in bold).

Methods and practices for reading diagnostic codes (DK)


Reading DC with the lamp "Check Engine"
This method applies to GM and January-4 controllers. BOSCH controllers can
only be interrogated using diagnostic equipment.

In order to read the trouble codes with the control lamp, it is necessary to close the
contacts A and B of the diagnostic connector (see Fig. 11) and turn on the ignition
without starting the engine. At this point, the “Check Engine” lamp should issue
code 12 three times in a row. The code display sequence is as follows: lamp on,
short pause, two turns in a row, long pause, and so on two more times. Code 12 is
not a malfunction code; it indicates that the self-diagnosis system is operational. If
code 12 is missing, the self-diagnosis system is malfunctioning.

After issuing code 12, the “Check Engine” lamp will begin to issue fault codes
previously detected and recorded in RAM in ascending order of their number. Each
code is issued three times. And so in a circle. If no faults are detected, only code 12
will be issued.

Reading DC using special diagnostic equipment

1. Tester DST-2 or a similar tester of foreign manufacture.

The scanner tester of the Samara Scientific Production Enterprise “New


Technological Systems” DST-2 and its modifications, which appeared in 1995,
provide ample opportunities for the diagnosis of ESAU-D (VAZ). In addition to
monitoring the current parameters of the ESAU-D, checking the sensors and
actuators, the DST family of scanner testers allows you to monitor and record the
status of the ESAU-D in dynamics, which helps in the search for intermittent
malfunctions. The only drawback of the DST family of scanner testers is the high
cost.

2. Trip computer (MK) with diagnostic function.


There are many MK options, however, only the on-board computers of the Kursk
JSC “Schetmash” have the AUTO-VAZ certificate and are delivered to the conveyor
for luxury cars. This is AMK-211000 for cars of the tenth series and AMK-211500 -
for installation on all VAZ small cars. Available MK in their capabilities are slightly
inferior to scanner testers, for example, DST-4M, but the cost of these devices is
even higher.

3. A personal computer with a special (software and hardware) communication


interface.
This method of reading codes at the cost of implementation and the provided
diagnostic capabilities is the most applicable in the "home" environment. Indeed,
free diagnostic programs distributed on the Internet (the author used Mytstr R12)
and adapters (see the website http://www.autoelectric.ru/) provide ample
diagnostic capabilities for ESAU-D (VAZ). The main advantage of a computer over a
tester is the convenience of saving test results. In order to save the results, just click
on the “Record” button, specify the file name and add a comment if necessary. In
the future, it is enough to compare the obtained parameters with the standard
parameters of a working ESAU-D and draw the necessary conclusions.

Upon completion of the repair and to control the reappearance of the DC, it is
necessary to clear the controller memory. There are two ways to clear fault codes
from the computer memory. Codes can be erased using diagnostic equipment, and
also if you disconnect the control unit from the battery for 30 s.

General approach to troubleshooting ESAU-D


The condition for the normal operation of all ESAU-D components is the working
condition of all mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems of the engine.
Therefore, before starting the ESAU-D diagnosis, it is necessary to check:
working condition of the cylinder-piston group (the compression measured on a
warm engine in all cylinders should be at least 10 kg / cm2);
tightness of the intake and exhaust manifolds;
correct installation of gas distribution phases;
serviceability of the fuel system (normal pressure in the fuel system should be 2.5
... 3.5 bar);
state of power supply facilities (voltage in the on-board network with the engine
running should be 13.2 ... 14.7 V and should not fall below 8 V during start-up).

ESAU-D has a number of operating parameters, compliance with the normative


value of which determines the operability of the system as a whole. Their
verification is carried out using an oscilloscope, digital multimeter and strobe. Note
that checking some of the parameters is only possible with the engine running.
Therefore, at the first stage of diagnosis, it is necessary to start the engine and
correctly assess the condition of all components of the ESAU-D.

The ideal prerequisite for the correct diagnosis of ESAU-D is the appearance of a
diagnostic trouble code. Although not always DK accurately indicates the root cause
of the malfunction. More often, a recreation center indicates a consequence of what
happened. And only a detailed analysis, verification of the questioned parameters of
ESAU-D help to find the fault.

A large number of electronic devices in a modern car requires the owner to have
special knowledge and techniques in operation and maintenance. The following
features of the operation of the car with ESAU-D must be known in order to
properly maintain and repair your car.

1. You can de-energize the computer no earlier than 30 seconds after the engine is
turned off, otherwise it will erase the information from the RAM. In order to
recover lost information, it is necessary to start the engine and allow it to warm up
to operating temperature. After starting the engine, the Check Engine warning lamp
will light for a while, which is not a malfunction.

2. On all VAZ injection engines after an unsuccessful attempt to start (more often
this happens when the air temperature is below -25 ° C), the “filled” candles can be
dried by turning on the purge mode. To do this, gently press the gas pedal and turn
on the starter for 5 ... 10 s. For the ECU, such actions will be a signal to turn off the
fuel supply.

3. All controllers are designed in such a way that at an ambient temperature of up to


+ 25 ° С they remain operational at a supply voltage of 18 V for two hours. At a
voltage of 24 V, they are guaranteed to remain operational for at least five minutes.
There are no cases of failure of the controllers due to increased voltage in the on-
board network, even in the event of a voltage regulator failure.

4. The controllers of cars of the "tenth" series are compatible with the on-board
computer 2111-3857010 (16.3857). The control units that are installed on the
Samara-2 vehicle are compatible with the on-board computer 2114-3857010
(15.3857).

5. In order to block the start of the engine when installing a burglar alarm on the
injection engines of VAZ vehicles with controllers of the M1.5.4 or “January 5.1”
type (inapplicability to MP7.0 is marked with *), it is permissible to “break” any of
the following wires:
ignition module control;
petrol pump control;
nozzle control; *
a wire connecting the 15th terminal of the controller (ignition signal to the engine
management system) with the 18-terminal block;
"Positive" or "mass" wire of the fuel pump relay; *
short circuit to one another or short-circuit the wires of the inductive sensor to
ground. In addition, it is possible to short-circuit the wires (signal and power) of the
throttle position sensor through a 680 Ohm - 1 kOhm resistor. *

If the conductors supplying the ignition module or nozzle break, it is necessary to


use breakers that withstand a current of at least 3 A, and the wires of the fuel pump
power circuit - at least 10 A.

Troubleshooting on the example of a VAZ-2111 engine with a BOSCH


MP7.0 H controller

First, it is necessary to check the operating parameters of ESAU-D, which can be


measured on an idle engine (see table. 8).

To start the engine you must:


fuel in the tank and a normally working gas pump;
serviceable ignition;
that DPKV was correct;
for the nozzles to work (failure of all nozzles is unlikely);
so that the controller is correct (although its breakdown, even for domestic cars, is
unlikely).

The gasoline pump (EBN) is checked for a characteristic sound. Also, when the
computer is turned on, the pressure of gasoline in the fuel line (2.5 ... 3 bar) should
appear. After turning off the pump, the pressure in the system should not drop
rapidly. If it falls, then most likely the fuel pressure regulator valve is defective. For
a short time, it can be drowned out by not fully squeezing the tube (for example,
with a suitable clamp) on the gas return line, thus creating the necessary pressure
in the system. If the electronic circuit breaker is “silent”, the presence of +12 V on
the pump block and further along the circuit is checked (see Fig. 11).

Ignition can only be checked if the spark plugs are firmly connected to the ground,
otherwise it is easy to disable the control unit. To diagnose a malfunction in the
ignition system, it is necessary to check the presence of power supply to the MH
(terminal D +12 V, terminal C - common, see Fig. 11), the presence and
serviceability of communication between the controller and the MH (lines B -
terminal 1 of the computer and A - pin 21 ECU), check the resistance of the high
voltage wires (about 15 kΩ).

First, inspect the DPKV for damage to the wire and shield. DPKV is the only unit in
ESAU-D without which the engine will not work. The resistance of a working sensor
is 500-700 Ohms. The amplitude of the alternating voltage measured at the DPKV
(terminal 48, 49 ECU, see Fig. 11) when the engine is cranking with a starter is 1 ... 2
V. There are cases of loss of contact in the connector and breakage of the supply
wires. Lead wires to protect against interference are shielded, a broken screen can
also lead to malfunctioning of the MOH. The crankshaft pulley design has a rubber
damper, due to poor vulcanization, the rubber sometimes peels from one of the
pulley disks, and they are displaced. As a result, pulses to the injectors and ignition
do not arrive on time. The engine in this case also will not work.
The electrical resistance of the nozzles is checked with an ohmmeter. It should be 12
... 15 ohms in each nozzle. The wire resistance in the jumper harness is less than 1
ohm.

The controller (ECU) is checked for the presence of power at the switchable and
non-switchable inputs (terminals 18 and 37, see Fig. 11). If there is no power, the
main relay, fuse, and fuses X, Y, and Z are checked.

If the engine starts poorly in cold weather (at an ambient temperature of less than
-20 ° C), it is possible to crank the engine with the starter with the gas pedal
depressed (in this case, no fuel will be supplied), which will allow the cylinders to be
purged. After that, letting go of the pedal, you can try again to start. If this succeeds,
then either the IAC is faulty, or one of the sensors (most likely DTOZh). But the
cause of a poor start may be a low fuel pressure, due to a malfunction of the fuel
pump or the valve of the fuel pressure regulator.

The throttle position sensor (TPS) can also prevent starting. If the voltage on it is
about 3.4 V, then you probably will not succeed. It can be turned off or shunted,
providing a voltage of 0.1 ... 0.2 V.

In some cases, an emergency option to start the engine is possible, when all sensors
except DPKV are disconnected from the computer and try again to start. In this
case, the engine may start if it is empirically determined the initial position of the
gas pedal.

If it wound up, now it is necessary to check the parameters of ESAU-D and its
elements (see table. 9).

The use of diagnostic codes (DK) in troubleshooting ESAU-D


After starting and warming up the engine using any of the available methods, the
diagnostic trouble codes are read, after checking the operation of the diagnostic
circuit. How to do this is described in the operating instructions for a particular
tester. If it is a scanner tester or an IBM PC-software tester, then it is possible to
check the entire periphery of the ESAU-D (actuators and sensors) and conduct
various dynamic tests. The resulting DCs need to be analyzed to establish a causal
relationship between what is happening in ESAU-D.

Before checking, the following conditions must be met:


engine warmed up to operating temperature;
the engine runs at low idle;
diagnostic contact is not shorted to ground;
DST-2 device (or similar) is not connected;
the air conditioner (if equipped) is turned off;
The negative terminal of the digital voltmeter is securely connected to ground.

In the table. 10 shows diagnostic codes, possible faulty electrical circuits, as well as
additional manifestations of the identified malfunctions.
The columns “voltage” and “possible signs of circuit malfunction” of this table
accept the following notation:
(1) - below 0.1 V during the first two seconds after turning on the ignition without
cranking the engine;
(2) - Below 1 V or above 10 V, depending on the position of the drive wheels of a
standing vehicle. When driving, the voltage varies with speed;
(3) - varies with temperature;
(4) - varies depending on the vibration level of that part of the engine on which the
knock sensor is installed (DD);
(5) - varies depending on the engine speed;
(6) - voltage on the battery (V +) when the engine is warm;
(7) - break;
(8) - open / short circuit;
(9) - the circuit is shorted to ground;
(10) - the circuit is closed at +12 V;
(11) - varies in the range from the voltage of the battery to a voltage of less than 1
V, depending on the duty cycle of the pulses;
(12) - when the relay is on, less than 0.1 V, and when the relay is off, it is equal to
the battery voltage;
(13) - when the test lamp is on, the voltage is less than 0.5 V, when the contact is
off, the battery voltage appears on the contact;
(14) - decreases with increasing duration and repetition rate of injection pulses;
(V +) - should be equal to the battery voltage.

The color of the wire (2nd column), indicated by P (magenta), corresponds to the
designation KR (red).

The concept of hidden faults ESAU-D

Some ESAU-D malfunctions may be implicit or hidden. This may be due, for
example, to a short-term change in the characteristics of ESAU-D components,
which lead to errors in the system. Some motor testers have a special mode that
allows for a certain time to record changes in the ESAU-D parameters to clarify the
source of the "floating" fault. In DST-2, for example, this mode is called “data
collection”.

In the table. 11 shows the parameters of ESAU-D (VAZ) with the BOSCH MP7.0
controller (removed using DST-2), which can be used for diagnostics in the absence
of a fault in the DC.

No.6 “Repair & Service” June 2003

Aspiration to perfect manufactured cars led the engineers and developers of the
Avto VAZ concern to think about the need to introduce such an innovation as an
on-board computer. Its purpose is to identify vehicle malfunctions and report them
in encoded form.

But for the car owner to be able to figure out what the problem is, he will need to
know how decipher codes. It makes sense to consider the issue in more detail, on
one of the VAZ models.

do-it-yourself on-board computer VAZ 2115 (step by step)

To detect the reasons why the on-board computer gives error codes, diagnostics will
be required.

You can do this in different ways:

turn to the masters specialized ONE HUNDRED


try to do diagnostics on your own

Immediately — we also note that the codes obtained by self diagnostics


and when checking at the station maintenance will not match.

If necessary, independently diagnose the owners of VAZ2115 cars will be able


guided by recommendations containing a list and procedure for all actions:

find the odometer button on the instrument panel and hold it


then you need to turn the key in the ignition switch to position “1”
the odometer button can now be released
this action will cause the movement of the arrows on the dashboard
after pressing the odometer button again, a code appears on the speedometer,
which is the designation of the on-board computer firmware version
by pressing the odometer button a third time and returning it to its original
position, we get a trouble code.

What do the error codes look like when doing the diagnosis yourself?
This will be a two-digit combination of numbers when performing diagnostics using
professional equipment, which are equipped with stations STO - the combination
will consist of four digits.
What do the error codes look like when
diagnosing at the service station
When computer diagnostics at the service station, an external computer is
connected to the connector on the on-board computer. The procedure carried out in
this way can be considered as computer diagnostics and significantly differ from the
usual “reading errors”.

Different service stations differ significantly from each other in terms of equipment,
including - diagnostic. Naturally, by the appearance of this equipment it is very
difficult for a non-specialist to judge how advanced it is. For example, an error
reader equipped with a large screen and printer can only read codes, and even then
not with every brand of car, and there is no guarantee that the codes will be
correctly decrypted.
But a completely inconspicuous prefix to a laptop can easily transform the language
of codes used by the instrument panel of your car to an accessible one for an
ordinary person, or register a new key.

As a rule, service stations are equipped with scanners that can read error codes,
transform information in graphical form, process information received from
sensors. More complicated professional the equipment allows controlling
mechanisms and adapting new ones, established instead of faulty, blocks to
working equipment.

To read the error code, you don’t need to be a professional, because the
scanner will give it out, and in some cases it will decrypt it.

The problem is that for the error a responsibility"Control unit, its functions include
receiving a signal from the sensor and its analysis. But he is not able to see either
the sensor itself, or the wires leading to this sensor. I.e. The error code can only
display the most likely cause of the error.
To find out what actually happened:

verify the integrity of the wiring going to the sensor


correct mounting of the sensor itself
check sensor readings

All this information will determine how efficient the sensor is. It will require special
knowledge, i.e. specialist with appropriate level of training, as well as special
equipment: gas analyzers, manometers, oscilloscopes, vacuum gauges, motor
testers, etc.
The practical experience of the master who will conduct the diagnosis is
also important.

Decoding Codes self diagnostics in the form of


a table (combination - decoding breakdowns)
Since the purpose of diagnostics is to obtain the code and its decryption, it is worth
considering in more detail how exactly the error codes look for when diagnosing
with your own hands and what exactly they mean. To make it more clear we will
arrange them as a table.

1 The appearance of this code testifies about the fault in the


microprocessor. To fix the error, a device flashing may be required.

Modern cars are abundantly filled with all kinds of electronics. Therefore, computer
diagnostics has become quite commonplace when repairing a car.

Not an exception are VAZ 2110 cars with injection engines, which can be checked
using computers, special adapters and software even with your own hands.

Why do I need diagnostics


First, let's figure out why to diagnose faults and whether it is required specifically
for your car.

The main advantage of diagnosis is the ability to save money, time and modern
nerves. If the car starts to behave inappropriately, some extraneous sounds appear,
the stable operation of the engine is disrupted, then there are two options:

1. Examine all systems manually by dismantling and testing, spend a lot of time
and nerves. The probability of finding the cause of the breakdown is far from
100%.
2. Carry out computer diagnostics with your own hands by connecting a special
adapter, a cable to the computer. The program will scan the car and be able to
issue the corresponding error codes. Having studied our material with error
codes, you can easily find the reason why the machine began to behave
abnormally.

Should I contact the service station?


The quality of diagnostics at service stations is often not much different from self-
checking. The presence of an adapter and cable for connecting the device allows you
to deal with the problems of your own car without outside interference.

Turning to the service station, you can be diagnosed with the same equipment, only
at the same time they will ask you for a decent amount of money. If you do not
control the progress of the check yourself, the wizards may report the discovery of
other errors that do not actually exist.

The result of applying to a dubious service station for the purpose of diagnosis can
be serious financial costs and a long absence of the car at your disposal.

The only option when it is worth contacting a car service is the lack of diagnostic
equipment and the presence of good friends among auto mechanics.
What is necessary for work
If you decide to diagnose the faults of your VAZ 2110 yourself, then you will need a
few basic things for this work.

Device Features
This is a kind of microcircuit enclosed in a housing. It allows you to
connect the "brains" of your car with a computer and display the
relevant information on a laptop or tablet screen
Used to connect the adapter to the car and computer. Usually comes
with an adapter
A When choosing a computer, rely on what you have - a stationary PC,
computer tablet, laptop. A laptop is better, since connecting a car to a
stationary PC is difficult. Cables longer than 5 m are not suitable for
diagnostics, so keep this in mind when connecting to a PC
The necessary software can be found on the Internet, or take the
software provided with the adapter. There are no problems finding
software today.

When choosing an adapter and cable, consider the features of your car. Not all
adapters are universal. For the VAZ 2110, an example of an excellent adapter is the
ELM327. We will talk about him later.

How it works?
Now let's see how all this works together and how to diagnose a car with your own
hands.

1. The diagnostic program sends signals via the COM port through the adapter
to the car controller.
2. The controller sends information in response.
3. The program carries out processing of the received data, displaying the
corresponding result on the screen of your computer.
4. Data exchange is carried out according to the relevant protocol. Depending on
the manufacturer of the car, the protocol may be different, have their own
characteristics.
5. To simplify diagnostics, many manufacturers use the universal ODB II
protocol. Its capabilities are limited and not adapted to all cars. It fits the VAZ
2110 model ideally, since a dozen do not differ in the increased amount of
electronics, unlike more modern cars.
6. In the case of the VAZ 2110, the program on the computer screen will give the
result in the form of error codes. It is enough to open the material where we
described the error codes for the VAZ 2110 in order to understand what kind
of breakdown overtook your car. Next, appropriate actions are taken to
eliminate them.

An essential advantage of diagnostics is the fact that after it you know exactly what
kind of malfunction you are dealing with. You do not have to sort out half of the car
to find the source of the problems.

Types of diagnostics
Computer diagnostics of the car can be divided into three main types, one of which
is not directly related to the VAZ 2110.

1. Suspension Check It must be carried out if the rubber began to wear out
unevenly or if extraneous sounds are heard during movement. Diagnostics
will allow you to determine the causes of the demolition of the rear and front
axles, which you can notice when entering turns at speed.
2. Check engine. The main share of diagnostic measures falls on power units.
The computer and the adapter will help you if there is instability of idle speed,
the machine can hardly start, fuel consumption increases, power drops, etc.
3. Check automatic transmission. Since the VAZ 2110 is not equipped with an
automatic transmission, there is no point in conducting its diagnosis.

Connectors
You have decided to make a diagnosis. But what and where to connect?

On the VAZ 2110, the connector for computer diagnostics (CD) is located below the
steering column to the right of the driver. The connector is called OBD. This
information makes it much easier to find the right adapter.

To carry out a check, you should perform the following sequence of operations:

An adapter is inserted into the connector near the OBD steering column;
The computer must already be turned on;
When the block is connected to the adapter, you need to turn on the ignition.
Without power, the program will not be able to work and read data;
Next, we connect the program with which the testing is carried out;
If all the elements are operational, auto electronics will be displayed on the
computer monitor;
Start checking.

Pinout
Since we need a diagnostic block for testing, that is, an OBD, it will not be out of
place to find out about the features of its pinout. So you can easily figure out how to
connect:

Contact A - is responsible for connecting the mass;


Pin B - required to connect the L-Line. Please note that not all cars have this
contact;
Contact M - is used to connect the K-Line;
Contact N - power supply + 12V;
Contact G - controls the operation of the fuel pump.

We will separately introduce you to the ELM327 adapter, with the help of which
many VAZ 2110 owners carry out full-fledged diagnostics on their own.

ELM327 is one of the latest developments of OBD. This scanner applies auto scan
using a computer. The key advantage is that the device supports all known OBD
protocols and interacts with many diagnostic programs. A USB cable is used to
connect the device to the computer.

The software for ELM327 is mostly free, although certain software is available only
for a fee.

The adapter can work on computers with different operating systems. Namely:

Windows
MacOS
Linux
PalmOS

It is possible to fully reveal the capabilities of the scanner only due to correctly
selected software. For self-diagnosis, free software is available for scanning the
gearbox and engine. Commercial versions of programs allow you to additionally
check other components of the car.

Key features

Let's get acquainted with the possibilities that the ELM327 chip provides:

Reads error codes, vehicle malfunctions;


Displays codes and their description;
Exports printout data, if necessary;
Deletes error codes;
Displays data in the metric system of measurement and the system used in the
USA;
Writes, saves data, builds charts;
It has an acceleration counter from 0 to 100 km / h, which allows diagnostics
on the go.

Checking many parameters of the car should be carried out on the go. Not all
adapters are suitable for this, therefore it is important to choose the equipment that
meets your requirements.

Equipment
By purchasing such an adapter, you get:

High precision adapter based on ELM327 processor;


OBDII cable;
Cable for connecting to a computer;
A disk with free software.

For the adapter to work and receive information, it is not necessary to have a
powerful computer. The parameters of the simplest laptops are enough to diagnose
the VAZ 2110.

Independent CD allows you to seriously save money, get objective information


about the condition of your car, and also save yourself from unnecessary financial
costs, which, when applying to the service station, will certainly appear.

To find the error codes on the VAZ 2110 and 2112 (8) 16 valves yourself, it is not
enough to know how to use the on-board computer and removable controllers. You
must be able to decipher the issued indicators. Car diagnostics can be carried out at
a service station or at home, having the appropriate equipment. Modern domestic
cars are equipped with an on-board computer (BC), which can produce errors in the
systems on the display.

A more thorough analysis of malfunctions, without visiting the service station,


allows for a removable controller. The need to check the car occurs when the Check
indicator lights up.
Decryption of standard codes
Error codes on the VAZ 2110 and 2112 (8) 16 valves that the ECU of the models
under consideration issue are indicated by the letter "P" at the beginning and the
next set of numbers. Their decoding is as follows:

0030 - malfunction of the control circuit of the converter and the oxygen
heater;
0031 - notifies of a circuit short to ground in the same node;
0032, 0036, 0037, 0038 - control circuit malfunctions between the converter
and the oxygen heater sensor;
0102, 0103, 0116, 0117, 0118, 0122, 0123 - malfunctions in the refrigerant
temperature indicator circuit associated with an increased, reduced signal,
problems with the throttle valve;
0130, 0131, 0132, 0133, 0134, 0136 - malfunctions in the sensor circuit of the
section between the converter and the oxygen supply, indicating its
inadequate operation or failure;
0137, 0138, 0140, 0141 - indicate a malfunction of the oxygen sensor in the
section of the circuit located after the converter.

Error codes of the injection system have the following decoding (there is a letter “P”
before each value):

0171, 0172 - too high or low fuel supply;


0201, 0202, 0203, 0204 - open circuit control on one of the nozzles;
0217 - excess temperature of the power unit;
0230 - problems with the fuel pump relay;
0261, 0262, 0263,0264,0265,0266,0267,0268,0269,0270,0271,0272 -
malfunctions associated with the drivers and the closing circuit of the
injectors.
When signals about malfunctions in the ignition system appear, the following codes
are displayed:

0300, 0301, 0302, 0303, 0304 - signal about malfunctions caused by;
0326, 0327, 0328 - disturbances in the operation of the circuit associated with
a violation of the signal supply or its absence;
0335, 0336, 0337, 0338, - indicates a malfunction of the crankshaft or
camshaft chain;
0342, 0343, 0346 - indicates a malfunction of the phase indicator circuit;
0351, 0352, 0353, 0354 - problems with the ignition coil control circuit;
0363 - signals a violation of the fuel supply or misfire;
0422 - the most understated indicator of the converter;
0441 - violation of the exit of air and gasoline vapors through the adsorber;
0444, 0445 - damage to the valve of the adsorbing element;
0480, 0481 - fan malfunction.
Other issues
Car diagnostics make it possible to decrypt fault codes in the control relays of
various nodes, road surface sensors, fuel mixture saturation and some other

In the car VAZ 2110 injector errors that are issued through the on-board computer
can be decrypted using special tables. As a rule, the computer generates errors in
the form of codes consisting of the letter P and four digits.
You can solve problems in various ways, but first you need to find out what kind of
problems are observed in the car. It is possible to recognize an error injector on a
VAZ 2110 yourself, if you know the decryption.
Possible mistakes

Errors may apply to various parts of the car:

Sensors Most often, temperature sensors suffer.


Injectors (see). Basically, problems are observed due to a break in the circuit,
as a result of which the nozzles cannot catch fire in time.
The engine. Usually problems with the engine appear after a long car ride. The
most common mistake is overheating.
Valves
Fans If they do not work with all their might, then the machine will overheat.
Therefore, errors of improper operation of the fan lead to errors with
overheating of the engine.
Relay
Controller
Consider the most common error codes of the VAZ 2110 injector that the system
issues:

P0101 In this case, there are problems with. When such a code appears on the
on-board computer screen, you should check whether the sensor is really
damaged.

Note: during the test it is impossible that the air was consumed more
than the permissible norm.

P0113 This means that the intake air temperature sensor is defective. It is
important to check whether the temperature is above normal.
P0116 If this code appears on the computer screen, there are problems with
the antifreeze temperature control sensor. First of all, it is necessary to check
whether the sensor actually works poorly, and after that drive the car away
into a car service.

Note: if the temperature is below the required value, then this defect
must be urgently eliminated, otherwise it can lead to harmful
consequences.

P2135. In this case, an error indicates an incorrect throttle position. Perhaps


the signal between the sensors has weakened, so they cannot correctly
indicate its location.
If, after diagnosis, it was found that the voltage of one sensor is higher by a
threshold than another, then repair cannot be avoided.
P2122. One of the accelerator pedal sensors indicates too low values. At the
same time, an excessively low voltage is also observed in it.
It is necessary to check the voltage in the sensor with a voltmeter. If
necessary, replace the defective sensor.
P0201 In this case, an interruption is possible in the injector control circuit. It
is necessary to diagnose the driver, as possibly an error is issued because of
them.
P0130 Check to see if the signal circuit is complete.

Note: you need to take some action if the voltage in the circuit is lower
or higher than normal.

P0133 If for some reason the signal lasts longer than necessary, it will produce
this error. The cause of this malfunction is a too slow response from the signal
system.
P0030 It is necessary to check for an open in the heater circuit. If necessary,
perform driver diagnostics.
P0171 Perhaps the heating mixture has become too scarce.
Therefore, the driver must check whether its contents are too poor. If the
heat transfer is above the norm, then this must be corrected, and the defects
eliminated.
P0172 It is necessary to check the poverty of the composition of the mixture.
P0217 Engine overheated. It is necessary to monitor the increase
in temperature in it.

Note: if the temperature here is above the threshold value, then an


urgent need for repair, otherwise soon the engine may boil right on the
road.

P0300 During ignition, toxic gases may be released. In fact, they always stand
out, but they are successfully displayed through the exhaust pipe.
Moreover, if for some reason there are omissions in the system, then toxic
substances can go directly into the interior of the car.
P0326 may not always work. Check to see if its signal strength is too low. If
necessary, regulate and normalize this level.
P0335 The crankshaft position sensor is defective. You need to check if there
is a signal coming from the sensor. If the signal is low, then the air flow should
be changed if it is above the maximum value.
P0340 The camshaft position sensor is defective. Check if there is a signal.

Note: problems are mainly observed when the sensor signal does not
change while the engine is running.

S0351. There may be an open circuit. In the primary circuit, the current does
not reach the optimum level.

If the injector malfunction lamp is on


Injector VAZ 2110 16 - valve

In some cases, the injector malfunction lamp is lit until the engine is warmed up to
90 degrees.
Usually this problem is observed in the cold season. And although this problem is
not too serious, it will have to be solved anyway.
There are several ways to solve this situation:

Replace injector sensor. As a rule, if the light is on for a long time, then this
sensor will soon break due to overvoltage in the network.
And in any case, you have to change it. So why not do it before? Moreover,
this process will take a maximum of 30-40 minutes.
Make firmware. Of course, you won’t be able to do it yourself, but in a car
service, specialists will do everything without problems for the fastest possible
time.
Remove the battery terminals. Perhaps the light came on, but it did not go
out. And when there is no longer any voltage in the network, the light will
definitely turn off.

Note: but after connecting the terminals back, the lamp may light up
again. In this case, there is only one thing left - only drive the car to a car
service.

You can determine what kind of error the ECU gives out at home. But identifying a
mistake is half the trouble.
It is still necessary to eliminate it. And it’s not always possible to do it yourself.
The approximate price of work at a car dealership may vary. Of course, if there is no
necessary amount, you can try to make repairs yourself.
Before this, you should familiarize yourself with photos and videos on this topic
(there are a dime a dozen on the Internet). The instruction will also not be
superfluous.
