Lada Kalina comes off the VAZ assembly line with a built-in central electronic control unit and an injection engine. All problems that arise in electrical and electronic systems are recorded by the control unit, stored in memory, and issued as a digital code.
Some errors are displayed on the screen of the combined instruments, and a more in-depth search for errors and their decoding is carried out by external devices, such as scanners or using computer diagnostics. Third-party devices are connected via the diagnostic connector. The fault codes on an 8 valve vehicle are identical to those on a 16 valve vehicle, with some additions.
Self-diagnosis
Before contacting a car service, you can independently determine in which of the nodes or on which of the highways the malfunction occurred. This can be done using self-diagnosis, when errors occurring in the electronic control unit are displayed on the control panel. Maybe you can fix it yourself, or at least understand what you are faced with and what to expect when contacting specialists.
This is a simple procedure. It is enough to reset the instrument data of the daily mileage by holding the Reset button and turning on the ignition. The devices will switch to test mode, during which the indicator lamps and backlights will light up, and the device arrows will move back and forth along the scales. On the steering column lever, on the right, menu items are switched, in which there is a self-diagnosis mode for devices. Information about the software version and digital error codes stored in the memory of the control unit will appear on the screen.
There are tables for deciphering errors. Exit from the self-diagnosis mode occurs within the next 30 seconds, during which no manipulations need to be performed.
How to reset errors?
Upon completion of self-diagnosis, errors must be reset. How to perform this action can be found in the corresponding recommendations of the car manufacturer. In practice, it has been established that the reset procedure is identical to the manipulations to launch a new system check. Here the controllers are reset and the reset itself occurs, which is provided by special software tools present in the ECU software. The procedure is also performed during the next service in case of characteristic malfunctions. For example, code “0171” may be displayed with annoying consistency, indicating low-quality fuel in the LADA Kalina car system of the same name. This should alert the owner to changing the refueling location. Owners also consider “1545”, “0422” and “1426” to be common errors.
Deciphering error codes during self-diagnosis
| Error code | Error interpretation |
| 2 | The on-board computer indicates that the network voltage is higher than permissible. It is necessary to check the power supply circuit and start the starter, check the battery and generator connections. |
| 3 | Failure of the fuel level sensor installed in the gas tank. Reasons: thinning of the contact group track due to friction of the slider, broken circuit, faulty float inside the tank. |
| 4 | Incorrect data is provided from the coolant sensor. Sources of malfunction: oxidation of connector contacts, low battery, damaged power circuit. |
| 5 | The outdoor temperature readings obtained from the sensor device do not correspond to real values. Sources of problems: water or dirt on the sensor, faulty electronics control device, poor contact. |
| 6 | Engine overheating detected. Sources of the problem: the thermostat or sensor has become unusable, the radiator or cooling line is clogged, the seal of the cooling system is broken, a defect in the fan. |
| 7 | There is insufficient oil pressure in the unit's lubrication system. Malfunctions: oil is leaking from under the rubber filter gasket, breakdown of the engine oil sump, unreliable attachment of the block to the oil pressure sensor, sensor wiring is damaged, the oil pump is out of order, the engine crankshaft liners are worn out. |
| 8 | Signal about inoperability of the brake system or leakage of brake fluid. Reasons: insufficient level of brake fluid in the reservoir, wear of brake pads, discs, drums. |
| 9 | Low battery signal. Check the electrolyte level, charge the battery. |
| E | an error in the data packet embedded in the volatile memory chip. Reason: worn out EEPROM cells. |
If the Lada Granta has error P0504
Error codes on the instrument panel of the VAZ-2112: decoding
Error P0504 stands for “brake pedal sensor misalignment.”
The design of the operation is as follows: A double brake light switch is installed, one circuit is activated when the pedal is pressed, the other when the pedal is released. The pedal press signal goes to the brake lights themselves and to the ECU, and the pedal release signal goes only to the ECU. If the ECU “suspects” that there is something wrong with the brake light lamps (mismatch), it issues error P0504.
To eliminate the error, check the contacts and adjustment of the sensor on the brake pedal. The gap between the limit switch cap and its body when the pedal is in its initial state should be 0.5 mm. If the problem is not solved, replace the sensor with a new one. Craftsmen solve the problem in the following way: wires from a normally closed pair are connected through the normally closed contacts of a conventional relay. The relay is controlled, respectively, from the normally open contacts of the sensor. However, we recommend that you contact an authorized dealer under warranty to resolve this issue.
Let us remind you that the website has a survey on choosing an on-board computer.

Diagnostics using third-party devices
For a more detailed check of the vehicle's performance, scanners and computers are used. They are connected to the diagnostic electrical connector (socket) located on the standard panel. Malfunctions are issued in the form of a standard set of alphanumeric codes, consisting of one letter and four numeric designations. The letter indicates specific nodes in which the malfunction occurred.
B - detects problems with electronics inside the cabin;
C - indicates defects in the chassis design;
P - errors in the engine control module or transmission;
U - loss of communication between electronic modules.
The letter designation is followed by four characters:
- the first character indicates a standard code established by engineers at the Automobile Association;
- the second character records personal codes set by manufacturers;
- the third character indicates which system the malfunction occurred in:
1-2 - in the fuel and air system;
- in the ignition system;
- in a secondary emission control system;
- in the speed control controls or when the load is off (XX);
- on-board computer system and wiring;
7-8 - errors in the operation of the gearbox;
9.0 - reserve;
- the fourth and fifth symbols are considered together to more accurately locate the point of failure.
Diagnosis of Kalina
There are two ways to determine malfunctions in the Lada Kalina engine management system. Through self-diagnosis, as well as testing using a computer and a special adapter. The first option is simpler, but less accurate. Computer diagnostics of a car allows you to get a detailed answer about the causes of malfunctions.
Self-diagnosis
This procedure is performed using the dashboard inside the car:
- The vehicle's ignition must be turned off. The daily mileage reset button on the control panel is clicked. While holding this key, you need to turn the key in the lock to turn on the ignition.
- The control panel automatically enters self-diagnosis mode. All component positions and the LED indicator will light up on its screen. The arrows on the sensors will begin to move from the minimum value to the maximum.
- Using the control button located on the steering column switch, you can switch from one mode to another. The user has the opportunity to go to the self-diagnosis menu, view the software version, and also determine combinations of errors.
- To leave the menu, you need to take no action for thirty seconds.
An Arbix user showed the procedure for self-testing a Lada Kalina car.
Computer diagnostics
To complete the task you will need the following:
- Computer, you can use a laptop. The use of a tablet device is allowed.
- USB cable for connecting to the diagnostic connector.
- The software that will be used for testing. There are many firmwares for computer diagnostics. Reviews show that the best option would be the VAZ utility. It is designed specifically for AvtoVAZ models - Kalina, Priora and Grants.
For computer diagnostics of a Lada Kalina car, you need to find the connector; it is located in front of the gear lever, in the compartment above the cigarette lighter.
The verification procedure is carried out as follows:
- Testing software is installed on the computer.
- A plastic cover opens in front of the gear lever, and underneath it is an OBD-2 or K-Line output.
- The next step is to connect the wire to the block. One end of it is connected to the connector, and the other to the computer.
- After this, the presence of a connection is diagnosed. To do this, you need to go to the “Task Manager” on your computer. By going to the “Hardware” tab, you can see whether there is a connection or not. If available, testing activities continue.
- Then the firmware is launched, which will be performed for testing. If the program does not read the codes, then you need to click on “File” and select the “conduct diagnostics” item. A table will appear showing all fault combinations.
- By going to the "Options" menu, you can see the status of the vehicle. The “Codes” tab displays information about existing faults.
- After receiving the combinations, you need to decipher them and fix the problem.
The mileage reset key is clicked on the dashboard. The key located on the right steering column switch is pressed.

What does error 4 mean?
Fault code 4 indicates that the refrigerant temperature control regulator is not functioning correctly. In most cases, this code lights up on the dashboard if it detects a break in the regulator wiring for 20-30 seconds.
- After analyzing your problem, we turned to many sources on the Internet and consulted with the owners of Lad Kalin. As it turns out, the number 4 often appears on the instrument panel, this can be considered one of the most common errors in these vehicles. Replacing the antifreeze temperature regulator in the cooling system in some cases will help cause the error to disappear. However, according to most potassium growers, in fact, in most cases it does not give a good result.
- If you believe the reviews of car enthusiasts, then such an error, as a rule, appears mainly during cold weather. If there are no signs of breakdowns, then perhaps you have no reason to worry.
- It is likely that over time the vehicle has been used, the sensor itself has oxidized. As a result, a poor contact is formed, which does not allow signal transmission in normal mode. Sometimes this happens after you have washed your car. We recommend that you carry out a visual diagnosis of the regulator - if you notice that the contact has really oxidized, then it needs to be cleaned.
- If there is a continuity, if cleaning the contacts did not help, you need to ring. It is quite possible that the reason for the appearance of the code on the device is a broken wiring or short circuit. In the case of a break, it will be enough to replace the wires or eliminate the cause of the short circuit.
If you have changed the sensor, replaced the wire and cleaned the contact, but the problem still remains, we recommend that you perform more detailed computer diagnostics. In domestic cars, it often happens that if the control unit does not work correctly, errors may appear on the screen that in fact do not exist. To understand this, you need to completely read all the codes from the on-board computer and then draw conclusions.

Secondary parameters of motor operation
Engine idle speed test results
- Throttle Position (THR) value. This parameter is determined by a special sensor. If the throttle position value shows an error and malfunction, the car owner may notice some jerks with “dips” while driving. An increase in the number of idle revolutions will also indicate the presence of a problem. This parameter should be checked with the ignition on, but it is not recommended to start the engine itself. When you gradually press the gas pedal, the readings on the monitor should smoothly increase to 90%. It should be taken into account that it is impossible to achieve 100% - this is predetermined by the manufacturers. The sensor is considered operational if the procedure was successful. Idle speed should show 0%.
- Crankshaft and its rotation frequency (FREQ). The diagnostic figure will be displayed on the screen by a special crankshaft position sensor. The malfunction is easy to notice even without diagnostic equipment, because the engine simply will not start. Indicators from the sensor normally vary in the range from 800 to 840 rpm.
- Limit of uneven crankshaft rotation (LUMS_W). This figure should not exceed 4 rpm. Otherwise, you can be sure that there are misfires in the cylinders. With such a malfunction, it’s time to check the spark plugs and high voltage wires.
- Ignition timing (UOZ). Data from several sensors are combined into one indicator and calculated by the electronic control unit. The value varies from 6 to 15.
This is the way to check engine operation using a diagnostic connector and special equipment. Digital code records are formed from symbolic symbols of car faults. They can be seen on the dashboard dial.
EMUR breakdowns
It is worth remembering that if the electromechanical power steering malfunctions, the failure index will be indicated by the symbol “C”. What problems may arise:
- “1011” - there is no connection of the sensor to rotate the steering wheel and its power steering unit;
- “1013” - the generator is subject to excessive voltage, the power level has gone beyond the permissible limit;
- “1021” - the torque controller is faulty, it is recommended to conduct a thorough inspection of the device;
- “1031” - no signal from the controller system, incorrect position of the steering wheel shaft;
- “1041” - incorrect position of the rotor type mechanism, the control panel unit could not detect it;
- “1050” - the electric motor of the pumping system has broken. There may be a short circuit inside the winding. It is recommended to carefully inspect the damaged area;
- “1070” - pronounced problems in the operation of the EUR control module.
There is a separate category of errors, marked as “E” - a breakdown and error are detected in the data packet, which are stored in the EEPROM.
Self-diagnosis mode on Kalina 2
Self-diagnosis of the instrument panel on the 2nd generation
What is a liquid crystal display or indicator? liquid crystal display, or LCD for short, is a flat-shaped display based on liquid crystals. So, it was not in vain that I started with LCD indicators, since we will talk about the LCDs installed in the Lada Kalina.
An indicator installed on the dashboard displays information processed by the on-board computer. The amount of information displayed depends on the vehicle configuration.
This screen displays the following information:
1. Current time or number of the suggested manual transmission gear (or automatic transmission mode);
2. It also shows the total mileage of the vehicle or mileage during one day(s);
3. Displays data on the external temperature or one of the indicators (the latter depends on the vehicle configuration);
4. Fuel level.
In order to start the self-testing mechanism in a Lada Kalina car, you must:
1. The battery must be connected;
2. It is necessary to hold down the car daily mileage reset button and turn on the ignition

3. Then, after turning on the LCD indicator, you need to press the “mileage” button again once. The indicator display will then show the program version;
4. Error codes, if any, will be displayed in the top two lines;
5. In order to return the system to working condition, there are two ways:
•press any of the buttons on the control panel;
•wait 15-30 seconds. and the system itself will return to working condition, however, when choosing this option, you do not need to press the buttons.
Below is a breakdown of the codes that may appear on the panel:
1. Code 2 – on-board network overvoltage;
2. Code 3 – fuel level indicator (open circuit);
3. Code 4 – coolant temperature indicator, also an open circuit;
4. Code 5 – the external air temperature sensor has failed;
5. Code 6 – engine overheating;
6. Code 7 – oil pressure level is too low;
7. Code 8 – the vehicle’s brake system has broken down;
Many modern cars have the ability to independently read electrical system problems. Error codes on Kalina, after decoding, can reduce the time required to find a faulty unit in the electrical wiring.

Vehicle diagnostics and troubleshooting
If you nevertheless decide to buy a used car, then you should definitely make a diagnosis, paying attention to any Lada error codes that appear on the device display. Information about existing errors will be very useful, be sure to pay special attention to this
To diagnose and find out information, you should contact a car service center if there is no special insert on the used car you are buying.
In fact, such a procedure is a huge list of information that can tell about any possible danger. Usually this is not given importance, but in vain. For example, if a car’s BC states that the airbags are faulty, you definitely need to check this. Correction: what needs to be done? Immediately press the left button and the right one, from this press the on-board computer adjusts the selected parameter.
Then pressing the keys left or right changes the parameters. After pressing simultaneously, you exit from the adjustment. Reset. By pressing the left and right keys simultaneously, the options displayed on the screen will be reset. If everything is done in the “System error” mode, after that the error disappears. If faults actually exist, the error will remain in memory until reset occurs.
If the BC does not turn on, the causes of the problem are:
- there is no electric current in the BC connectors;
- there is no contact in the terminals.
BC cannot diagnose the reasons for this:
- the wire came loose;
- no contact.
BC cannot calculate the speed of the car, the reasons for this problem are:
there is no contact in the connectors.
BC cannot calculate the remainder in the fuel tank, reasons:
devices do not have software compliance.
The BC incorrectly shows how much fuel is left in the tank, the reasons for this are:
- there is no wire in the wiring at the 8th contact and the 9th terminal in the on-board computer;
- The car panel is showing incorrectly.
There is no BC screen backlight, reasons:
I need to make the screen brighter.

The thermometer shows incorrectly, reasons:
- the wire has broken in the temperature detection sensor;
- incorrect contact with the on-board computer.
No voice accompaniment, reasons:
- speaker is faulty;
- the software has crashed;
- The voice accompaniment is not reproduced (you must press the “up” key and hold it for more than three seconds).
BC writes incorrectly, the program has gone wrong, etc., reasons:
- The on-board computer is not connected or there is no contact with it;
- there is no contact in the connected battery terminal (the contact should be securely fixed).
Initialize the BC:
- previous settings will be reset;
- reset all parameters for the previous ride;
- set the clock to 8 hours 00 minutes;
- The alarm clock should be at zero, its notification is disabled.
