Lada Priora instrument panel: icon designation, error codes, photos

Domestic cars such as the Lada 2170 are extremely in demand among domestic consumers due to their low cost and budget maintenance. Among the benefits, one can also highlight its disadvantages - the Priora’s tidy is not the most reliable element of the car, which necessitates frequent intervention in the electrical part of the car. The dashboards of cars from different years of manufacture are almost identical. The symbols on the board of the 2013 version differ little from their 1st and 2nd generation counterparts. Here are signs indicating identical faults and corresponding to similar indicators.

Priora dashboard indicators with interpretation

A separate category of indicators is mainly responsible for indicating the status of on-board systems and mechanisms. Such symbols do not indicate serious damage, they simply notify the driver.

The description and full explanation of the indicators looks like this.

Visual Identification	Decoding
Fuel level indicator	Indicates the remaining gasoline in the fuel tank. When the supply is exhausted, the following sign lights up.
This indicator indicates that there are less than 10 liters of fuel left in the gas tank and the car needs to be refueled urgently. Initially, the red symbol of the gas station flashes, but when the fuel reaches 5-6 liters, it lights up constantly.
On VAZ models, it indicates a low battery or a strong drop in voltage in the network. It usually appears after prolonged attempts to start the car in the cold. To fix it, just replace or charge the battery.
The key against the background of the red car indicates that the immobilizer is turned on. This option is not available on 2008 models. Depending on the configuration, a green key may flash on the car’s dashboard. If the lamp blinks, the system is faulty.
Standard turn signal activation indicators. The indicator lights light up for left or right turns respectively. If the indicator lights blink simultaneously, the hazard warning system is on (the red triangle lights up in parallel).
A similar indicator lights up when the car is parked with the handbrake. It may also indicate a serious malfunction of the engine.
The ABS system is not working correctly or the wheel is punctured. The system is present in cars optionally and is not directly related to the brake system.
The red watering can is marked accordingly. The light indicates a critical drop in engine oil pressure. If the indicator goes out after the car warms up and the speed of the power plant is equalized, everything is in order.
The green symbol indicates the activation of the side lights.
The car's headlights are in long range mode. Lights up only when the mode is activated.
Antifreeze temperature dial indicator	The indicator is installed on all machines without exception and displays the actual antifreeze temperature.

What do the icons on the Priora dashboard mean?

There is a separate group of icons indicating the presence of breakdowns and malfunctions within the vehicle’s on-board systems. The emblems are displayed in the space surrounding the main instruments. The following is a transcript of the signs with photo accompaniment.

Icon	Decoding
If the car with the key is flashing, this indicates a malfunction or lack of response from the immobilizer. To fix the problem you need to check the block.
An exclamation mark surrounded by brackets blinks on the dashboard, indicating a malfunction in the brake system or ABS. A similar indicator located slightly higher may indicate an incorrectly pumped brake system.
The electric power steering is faulty or defects have been detected in the operation of the mechanism. Mostly installed on cars after 2011 model year.
Failure in the wiring or units responsible for controlling the airbags. If the icon lights up after starting the engine, the specified element may not work under shock load.
Seat belts are not fastened. Can also be red. At the same time, it is accompanied by a sound signal.
The passenger airbag is not activated or is faulty. Usually lights up when the engine starts.
If the indicator blinks constantly, this indicates a battery failure or critical discharge.
An urgent check of all engine systems is necessary - a critical malfunction has been detected.

The reasons why these icons may light up always require driver intervention. Ignoring machine signals can cause serious damage.

Depending on the year of manufacture and configuration, the interpretation of the instrument panel indicators may differ. The exact definition can be found in the vehicle's service manual.

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.

New-style Priora instrument panel steering column switch with joystick Kalina/Priora/Granta antenna for the Priora instrument panel

You can also buy ready-made kits (device + antenna + switch):

for Lada Priora - 2170-3801010-55;
for Lada Kalina 1 - 1118-3801010-55.

old-style Priora dashboard

New Priora dashboard

Replacing the old instrument panel without CAN with a dashboard with navigation without CAN (2170-3801010-50) is carried out without modifications. We remove the old panel and install a new one in its place, insert the connector with wires, connect the antenna (we fix it on the roof) and, if necessary, change the right steering column switch.

If the old instrument cluster without navigation, but with CAN, and instead of it it is planned to install a new dashboard with navigation with CAN (2170-3801010-60), then you need to rearrange contacts 10-11 to 28-29 (if after connecting it still does not work, change 28 and 29 places).

After installing the new instrument panel, the mileage will be reset to zero.

How to enable autotesting on Priora

Self-diagnosis of the VAZ Priora dashboard is necessary to be able to detect hidden problems or defects in on-board systems. To complete the procedure, you will need to perform a certain sequence of actions.

Get into the car and insert the key into the ignition lock.
Press and hold the daily mileage reset button.
At the same time, turn on the car's ignition.
If everything is done correctly, the instrument arrows will make several full revolutions and return back. All indicators will also flash.

The problem will be identified if any signal does not respond to manipulation.

How to find out the model of the Lada Kalina 2/Granta instrument cluster

Turn off the ignition.
Press and hold the mileage reset button.
Turn on the ignition.
Release the button when the instrument cluster test begins, and then press and release the button again.

The necessary information will appear on the instrument panel screen:

in the first line is the software version.
in the second line is the dashboard model.

After a few seconds, the instrument panel itself will return to normal mode. By the way, do you know how to eliminate panel squeaks?

Error codes on the Priora dashboard

When entering self-test mode, combinations of numbers and letters may appear on the display indicating the part of the circuit where a malfunction is detected.

Usually, after entering the service mode, one or more numbers appear on the device:

2 – a critical overvoltage was detected in the on-board network, caused by a short circuit or breakdown of the unit;
3 – an error has been detected in the fuel level sensor, a circuit break is possible;
4 – there is overheating of the cooling system, or the corresponding sensor is broken;
5 – the thermometer that determines the temperature outside is broken or there is an open circuit in versions before 2012, mounted optionally;
6 – the engine has boiled, you need to wait for cooling or check the serviceability of the sensors;
7 – the oil pressure in the crankcase of the power plant is too low, the sump may leak or the lubricant level has dropped significantly;
8 – breakdown of the brake line or units of the corresponding system;
9 – the battery is discharged or the element is faulty; it can also appear after the car has been idle for a long time in the cold;
E – the firmware has failed or there is a critical error in the EEPROM data packet.

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/

When do you need dashboard repair or replacement?

The Priora tidy does not have a large number of parts that are subject to frequent breakdowns. Typically, repair of the indicator unit comes down to replacing light bulbs and individual elements of the device. Users resort to replacing the board only when there is a malfunction of the contact group, connectors, or the board is damaged.

In case of serious damage (major short circuit leading to burnout of the main structural elements), repair may not be cost-effective. The cost of labor and materials often exceeds the price of a new module.

Possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them

When operating a vehicle, individual components of the instrument panel may fail. Among the most common breakdowns are factors.

Burnt out contact of one of the indicator lamps. Usually resolved by replacing the light bulb.
Failure of the contact group can be eliminated by completely replacing the module - resoldering the part is not economically profitable.
Malfunction of arrow indicators. It can be fixed by replacing the block.

How to dismantle and install the Priora dashboard

To dismantle the module, you will need to prepare two screwdrivers – a Phillips and a flathead one. A complete replacement of the Priora tidy looks like this.

Disconnect the wires from the battery.
Pull the steering column all the way down and remove the steering wheel from the pin.
You will also need to remove the cover covering the fuse box.
Unscrew the 4 bolts holding the instrument panel and remove it.
Loosen the two mounting bolts of the trim panel and remove it.
Disconnect the wiring harnesses from the contact groups and completely remove the board from the machine.

Installation is performed in reverse order.
