How to remove the dashboard trim of a Niva Chevrolet

Why the instrument panel of VAZ 2110,2111,2112,21123 does not work.

Description of the Chevrolet Niva instrument panel

The dashboard (dashboard) is a kind of screen, looking at which the driver receives the necessary information about the operation of a particular vehicle system. Without it, it would be difficult to control driving speed, mileage, oil pressure or coolant temperature.

In this article we will look at the standard instrument panel of the Chevrolet Niva in terms of its design, information content, and common problems. In addition, we will talk about tuning models of devices installed on these cars.

What is the instrument panel we are considering? Chevrolet Niva is equipped with a shield that meets all modern requirements. It is convenient enough and moderately informative so that the driver, without being distracted from the process of driving the car, has the opportunity to know about all work processes and can prevent malfunctions in time.

Changing the light bulbs on the Niva Chevrolet dashboard with your own hands

It is difficult to scare a person who owns a Chevrolet Niva with anything.
He is not afraid of vibrations, ominous sounds from the distributor, or the darkness. Although, the darkness is sometimes annoying, especially in those moments when the lamps on the instrument panel do not light up. There is nothing special about the lamps themselves, W1.2W is exactly 1.2 W. These lamps are installed to illuminate the instrument panel, to illuminate the buttons on the panel, and as control lamps. They are often replaced with LEDs, but this is a separate topic.

First, let's find out how to change the light bulbs on the instrument panel of a Niva Chevrolet.

Good DAY How did you put the bulb sockets back in? B***** wanted to change the light bulbs in the heater control panel (they didn’t light up, and it’s time to install LEDs :), at least less electric. will consume :)) I read everything and took it off as it should be, but when I took it out the bulbs spun and fell inside AND I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW TO GET THEM WITHOUT REMOVING THE BLOCK :) If I remove the block with the magician and the controls below, I can get them out and insert them :)? or do you need to remove all the cables as already written

I can't help you. I didn't bother. I took it to the workshop and left for my shift, but when I arrived I picked it up already assembled.

I also turned it. I removed the twister, removed the axle, inserted the axle into the handle and used an F2 drill to drill the whole thing through. I ground the drill down and into the resulting hole instead of a cotter pin. and in the axis where the groove is inserted a piece of vacuum porous elastic so that the antennae move apart and return to their homeland. It doesn’t fly out! It doesn’t scroll!

Thanks everyone for the answers and advice. I will take many notes. I didn't dare take it apart myself. As I already wrote, it’s raining here, but we don’t have a garage. And to be honest, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to put this construction set back together. I drove a hundred. Issue price: 2 rubles! The toad is pressing! It turned out that small glasses got into the panel (it turned over in the summer), so they blocked the movement of the dampers!

I removed the cables from the stove itself.

To get to the cables you need to disassemble the panel on the driver's side where the gas pedal is. You unscrew the panel and the drives there and disconnect them and pull the panel towards you. That's all. Hemorrhoids put the cables back.

I did it easier - I swapped places with the stove motor adjustment knob, it requires less effort.

Why take everything apart if only the handle is broken? O_o

So I only wanted to change the handle. I took off the handle and tried to turn the square “socket”, but nothing happened. I think the connection between the handle and the drive has disappeared.

I had the same problem. Everything was solved by simply rearranging the handles.

interesting option!)))) But I can’t put everything back together! The light bulb mounts have fallen in! Now, in order to insert them, you need to disassemble the sidewalls. No garage, it's raining! Mood …

Removing the dashboard of Niva Chevrolet

Dashboard Niva Chevrolet.

There is no way without removing the instrument panel and, by the way, replacing lamps is the only repair that the instrument panel is subject to.

If inaccuracies and malfunctions are found in the operation of at least one device, the shield along with the board is replaced. Regardless of whether repair or replacement is needed, the shield will have to be removed. This is done using a Phillips screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver.

Algorithm

The process goes like this:

First of all, remove the negative terminal from the battery so as not to inadvertently short-circuit the electrical wiring.

Remove the negative terminal.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws of the upper fastening of the instrument panel.

Remove the plug next to the control lamp block.

We take out the plug to the right of the hazard warning switch and unscrew the screw.

Disconnect the wiring harness block from the block.

Chevrolet Niva instrument panel, replacement of backlight bulbs

Not a single modern car today can do without a dashboard, which allows the driver to promptly learn about the status of the main components and systems. Thanks to this, the car owner will always be able to repair incorrectly functioning devices in a timely manner and prevent more serious malfunctions in the future. From this material you can find out what the dashboard of a Niva Chevrolet car is, what malfunctions are typical for it and how to diagnose and replace the dashboard.

Description and location of indicators and instruments on the panel

The instrument cluster includes many elements.

In accordance with the diagram above, the shield structure is as follows:

The coolant temperature control sensor, the arrow on it rises as the engine warms up. The controller needle should not be allowed to move into the red zone, as this will indicate overheating of the power unit.
A tachometer is a device that measures the number of revolutions of the engine crankshaft.
The left turn signal activation symbol, made in the form of a green arrow, appears when the corresponding indicator on the steering column switch is turned on. If the light blinks faster than usual, this may indicate a burnt out bulb.
Right turn signal.
Speedometer, this device allows the driver to know how fast the vehicle is moving. The speedometer is connected to the transfer case via an electric drive.
Gasoline fuel level controller; the Chevy Niva uses an electromagnetic device that functions only when the ignition is activated. When the ignition is turned off, the controller needle moves down the scale.
The fuel reserve indicator in the gas tank appears on the dashboard when the fuel level in the system is about 4-6.5 liters.
The side light activation lamp appears on the dashboard when the corresponding optics are turned on.
The brake system emergency symbol appears if the brake fluid level in the expansion tank has dropped to a critical level.
High beam indicator.
A key that allows you to reset the daily mileage readings. You can also use this button to switch to the clock or outside temperature sensor.
A screen that displays the total and daily mileage of the vehicle.
The Check Engine indicator indicates the need for engine diagnostics. It should always appear when the ignition is turned on, and disappear after starting the engine. If this light remains on while driving, the engine management system needs to be checked.
Light alarm activation lamp.
Symbol of time and temperature; you can switch from one mode to another using button 11.
Battery low indicator, this light should always appear when the ignition is turned on and disappear after the engine is started. If the indicator is always on, this indicates that there is no charging current in the on-board network. This may be due to a failure of the voltage regulator or generator unit, or the lamp may light up if the tension of the generator strap is insufficient or breaks.
Handbrake activation symbol. If your Niva Chevy is on the handbrake, the indicator will light up when you turn on the ignition and start the engine.
Indicator of emergency low pressure of engine fluid. It should always appear when the ignition is activated. If it lights up after turning on the engine, this indicates low pressure in the system or a lack of engine fluid.
Reserve indicator (video author - Artem S).

Dashboard plug addresses

The operation of the devices is controlled by an electronic module, which receives information from the sensors and sends it to the panel. To connect to it, as well as other components, the shield has two blocks with the following plug addresses:

White 13-pin header (X-1)
"Mass" (body)
Tachometer (low voltage input)
Tachometer (high voltage input)
Battery (via fuse F-3)
Coolant temperature sensor
Fuse F-10
Empty (reserve)
Electronic engine control unit
Terminal “15” of the ignition switch (via fuse F-10)
Handbrake switch
Generator output "D"
Oil pressure sensor
Red block for 13 pins (X-2)
Ambient temperature sensor
Terminal “15” of the ignition switch (via fuse F-16)
"Mass" (body)
Panel light control
Turn switch (starboard repeaters)
Turn switch (left side repeaters)
Brake fluid level sensor
On-board computer
Speed sensor
Fuel level sensor
F-14 fuse
Emergency light switch
Terminal "50" of the ignition switch

Possible faults

If you understand the designations of the light bulbs in the Niva Chevrolet instrument panel, let's look at the next point - possible malfunctions of the device:

The instrument cluster does not work, but the engine starts normally. Most likely, the problem is caused by either a failure of the shield itself or a lack of power.
The lights on the instrument cluster do not light up. If all the indicators stop working at once, this may indicate a break or fraying of the wire responsible for the lighting. If only some of the lamps do not work, then most likely they are simply burnt out.
Devices not working - speedometer or tachometer. Most likely this is an electrical type problem; you need to disassemble the panel and look for the fault.
Sensors do not work - fuel level, antifreeze temperature. As practice shows, this usually indicates poor contact in the electrical circuit. Usually this problem is solved by disconnecting and cleaning the plug contacts (the author of the video is the Ig K channel).

DIY diagnostics

In accordance with the service manual for the car, the control panel has its own diagnostic system, which allows you to check the device without removing it.

The sequence of actions for diagnosis is as follows:

The ignition must be turned off and the daily mileage reset button must be pressed. Next, the ignition is turned on and the key is released. The arrows on the tidy devices must pass through the entire scale several times - this is a tidy test.
Then hold down the reset button for five seconds - this will clear the processor memory.
Now press the odometer reset button; the version of the software used should appear on the display. When you press the button again, numbers should appear on the display. The number 0 indicates that there are no malfunctions in the operation of the device, 1 - the microprocessor has failed, 2 - the fuel controller circuit has broken, 4 or 8 - increased or decreased voltage in the on-board network. If there are several breakdowns, the sum of codes will appear on the screen. For example, 14 is errors 2, 4 and 8, fault 10 is errors 8 and 2, etc.

Tuning options

The choice of options for tuning is not particularly large:

Install a device from another car. In this case, you will need the services of a qualified electrician, since the connectors will have to be redone. You can also install a digital version of the tidy - it will be more than original.
As a tuning option, you can install LED bulbs instead of regular ones. Many car owners choose this option because it is less expensive and the easiest to implement.
Another tuning method is to install original instrument scales on the speedometer, tachometer and other sensors. Moreover, you can buy such scales either ready-made or make them yourself in accordance with your preferences.

The red zone warns of engine overheating. If the arrow moves into the red zone, you should stop, let the engine cool and eliminate the cause of overheating.

– an electronic tachometer shows the engine speed. The scale has divisions from 0 to 80, the division value is 5. To find out the crankshaft rotation speed in min -1, you need to multiply the tachometer readings by 100. The shaded yellow zone of the scale means the engine is operating at a high speed, the solid red zone is dangerous for the engine modes.

– the indicator lamp for turning on the left turn signal (with a green filter in the form of an arrow) lights up with a flashing light when the left turn signal is turned on synchronously with it. Flashing of the warning lamp at double frequency indicates a burnt-out lamp in any direction indicator.

– control lamp for turning on the right turn signal

– an induction speedometer shows how fast the car is currently moving. The scale has divisions from 0 to 200 km/h, the division value is 10 km/h. The speedometer is driven electrically by a sensor mounted on the transfer case housing.

– the fuel level indicator, based on the electromagnetic operating principle, only works when the ignition is on. When the ignition is turned off, the needle is located at the beginning of the scale. The scale has divisions: 0 – empty tank, 1/2 – half tank, 1 – full tank.

– the indicator lamp for the minimum fuel reserve in the tank (with an orange filter) is constantly on when the remaining fuel in the tank is 4–6.5 liters.

– the indicator lamp for turning on the side lights of the Niva Chevrolet (with a green filter) indicates that the side lights in the headlights and rear lights are turned on.

– the brake system emergency warning lamp (with a red filter) lights up when the brake fluid level drops below the “min” mark on the reservoir of the brake master cylinder.

– the indicator lamp for turning on the high beam headlights (with a blue filter) indicates that the high beam headlights are on.

– button for resetting the daily trip meter, switching the time and ambient temperature display and setting the time.

– electronic mileage indicator. The top line of the indicator shows the total mileage of the car, and the bottom line shows the daily mileage. Reset the daily trip meter by holding button 11 pressed for more than 5 s with the car stopped.

Gasoline fuel level controller; the Chevy Niva uses an electromagnetic device that functions only when the ignition is activated. When the ignition is turned off, the controller needle moves down the scale.
The fuel reserve indicator in the gas tank appears on the dashboard when the fuel level in the system is about 4-6.5 liters.
The side light activation lamp appears on the dashboard when the corresponding optics are turned on.
The brake system emergency symbol appears if the brake fluid level in the expansion tank has dropped to a critical level.
High beam indicator.
A key that allows you to reset the daily mileage readings. You can also use this button to switch to the clock or outside temperature sensor.
A screen that displays the total and daily mileage of the vehicle.
The Check Engine indicator indicates the need for engine diagnostics. It should always appear when the ignition is turned on, and disappear after starting the engine. If this light remains on while driving, the engine management system needs to be checked.
Light alarm activation lamp.
Symbol of time and temperature; you can switch from one mode to another using button 11.
Battery low indicator, this light should always appear when the ignition is turned on and disappear after the engine is started. If the indicator is always on, this indicates that there is no charging current in the on-board network. This may be due to a failure of the voltage regulator or generator unit, or the lamp may light up if the tension of the generator strap is insufficient or breaks.
Handbrake activation symbol. If your Niva Chevy is on the handbrake, the indicator will light up when you turn on the ignition and start the engine.
Indicator of emergency low pressure of engine fluid. It should always appear when the ignition is activated. If it lights up after turning on the engine, this indicates low pressure in the system or a lack of engine fluid.

"Niva-Chevrolet": instrument panel, designations

Now let's look at the “screen” itself. What indicators does the instrument panel combine? Chevrolet Niva is not original in this regard. The largest indicators are the tachometer and speedometer. Their round scales are located in the center of the shield. The hands of these devices are driven by small, separate stepper motors.

Below the tachometer there is a liquid crystal screen, which displays information about the ambient temperature, as well as the time. At the bottom of the speedometer scale is the same display informing the driver about the total and daily mileage.

To the left of the tachometer there is a scale to the right of the speedometer - the fuel level indicator in the tank. Both devices have a magnetic-electric design.

In the lower left corner there are warning lamps for the battery discharge indicator, parking brake engagement, emergency engine oil pressure, as well as another backup lamp. The lower right corner is occupied by indicators for turning on the headlights, high beam headlights and a low brake fluid level indicator.

At the top, between the tachometer and speedometer scales, there are arrows for activating the turn signals (right and left). At the bottom center of the dashboard there is an indicator for turning on the hazard warning lights, and below it is a “CHECK” indicator lamp.

Possible faults

If you understand the designations of the light bulbs in the Niva Chevrolet instrument panel, let's look at the next point - possible malfunctions of the device:

The instrument cluster does not work, but the engine starts normally. Most likely, the problem is caused by either a failure of the shield itself or a lack of power.
The lights on the instrument cluster do not light up. If all the indicators stop working at once, this may indicate a break or fraying of the wire responsible for the lighting. If only some of the lamps do not work, then most likely they are simply burnt out.
Devices not working - speedometer or tachometer. Most likely this is an electrical type problem; you need to disassemble the panel and look for the fault.
Sensors do not work - fuel level, antifreeze temperature. As practice shows, this usually indicates poor contact in the electrical circuit. Usually this problem is solved by disconnecting and cleaning the plug contacts (the author of the video is the Ig K channel).

DIY diagnostics

In accordance with the service manual for the car, the control panel has its own diagnostic system, which allows you to check the device without removing it.

The sequence of actions for diagnosis is as follows:

The ignition must be turned off and the daily mileage reset button must be pressed. Next, the ignition is turned on and the key is released. The arrows on the tidy devices must pass through the entire scale several times - this is a tidy test.
Then hold down the reset button for five seconds - this will clear the processor memory.
Now press the odometer reset button; the version of the software used should appear on the display. When you press the button again, numbers should appear on the display. The number 0 indicates that there are no malfunctions in the operation of the device, 1 - the microprocessor has failed, 2 - the fuel controller circuit has broken, 4 or 8 - increased or decreased voltage in the on-board network. If there are several breakdowns, the sum of codes will appear on the screen. For example, 14 is errors 2, 4 and 8, fault 10 is errors 8 and 2, etc.

Dashboard faults

The instrument panel, like any other electronic component, is susceptible to harmful factors such as a short circuit, broken wires in the power or information circuit, or a malfunction of one of the main components of the device. If you have encountered a similar problem, first of all, determine what signs of failure the shield is showing:

the panel does not function at all, but the engine starts and runs normally;
The Niva-Chevrolet instrument panel does not light up, but all indicators work (no backlight);
The speedometer and tachometer do not work;
Temperature and fuel level sensors are not functioning.

In the first case, contact on the device connectors is most likely lost. It is enough to disconnect the pads, clean the contacts, and everything will work again. A similar malfunction can overtake you in the fall or winter, when the level of moisture in the air is high.

If on a Niva-Chevrolet car the instrument panel lamps do not light up, but all its elements are operating normally, the reason must be sought in the power wires of the lighting bulbs, or in the lamps themselves.

Failure of the tachometer or speedometer also indicates a break in the power circuit. The same can be said if there are problems with the fuel level and temperature sensors.

Tuning options

The choice of options for tuning is not particularly large:

Install a device from another car. In this case, you will need the services of a qualified electrician, since the connectors will have to be redone. You can also install a digital version of the tidy - it will be more than original.
As a tuning option, you can install LED bulbs instead of regular ones. Many car owners choose this option because it is less expensive and the easiest to implement.
Another tuning method is to install original instrument scales on the speedometer, tachometer and other sensors. Moreover, you can buy such scales either ready-made or make them yourself in accordance with your preferences.
