Lada Vesta dashboard - 12 firmware points, how to remove

Automotive Dashboard - allows the driver to receive information about the status of vehicle components. The more complete this information is, the more comfortable it will be to drive the machine. The dashboard of the Lada Vesta car works efficiently - all icons are in plain view of the driver. The entire instrument cluster is harmoniously combined and distinguishes Vesta from its predecessors. The latest cars have a new instrument panel (control), it has undergone improvements and changes - you will find its article number below. The instrument panel of the Lada Vesta sometimes breaks down; in the article you will find a checklist of 11 instrument malfunctions. The price of a standard Vesta car panel is on average 6 times lower than that of analogues, for example ferrum gf-890LV

for Lada Vesta it costs from 32,000 rubles. Sometimes there is a need to remove the instrument panel in order, for example, to install an analogue one; in the article you will find disassembly instructions. On the first Vestas, the panel light turned on only when the headlights and low beams were on; later, dealers began flashing the Vesta panel with new firmware; of course, you can do this yourself. The factory version 1 of the dashboard firmware was numbered 026. Then version 038 came out, which was blinding at night, now there is a normal version 028, which lights up, less brightly, when the low beam is turned on. In the article you will find a checklist for flashing the device.

Main 11 faults of the Lada Vesta instrument panel

While operating the car, problems may arise with the functioning of the instrument. An approximate list of main faults looks like this:

1. Poor contact of the panel with the on-board network due to damage to the connector or its contacts;
2. Failure of one or more sensors supplying information to the panel;
3. Mechanical damage to the shield due to strong vibrations or strong impact;
4. Lack of lighting due to burnt out light bulbs;
5. Failure or malfunction of the main motherboard - if the motherboard fails, there is no point in removing or disassembling the instrument panel. You cannot repair this part yourself. It is better to entrust this matter to service station specialists;
6. Burnt-out warning lights - There is a simple test to make sure the lights are burnt out. When you turn the ignition key, all devices start and all lamps light up. At this time, the operation of the lamps is checked. Particular attention should be paid to the red lamps, which indicate critical problems with the vehicle;
7. The arrow indicators do not work - this may occur due to a failure of either the device or the sensor. Operation is checked with the engine running;
8. The tachometer does not work - the reason is in the device itself;
9. The speedometer does not work - the speed sensor has failed. This is indicated by the ABS lamp;
10. The antifreeze temperature does not change - the reason is a malfunction of the temperature sensor;
11. The fuel level is not displayed - the unit with the fuel pump is faulty.

Possible errors and methods for correcting them

During the operation of the vehicle, various malfunctions may occur. Information about breakdowns is displayed on the on-board computer screen in the form of digital error codes. The most common ones are:

• engine overheating, 0217;
• fuel pump does not work, 0230;
• incorrect ignition operation, 0301;
• ignition coil faulty, 0351;
• tachometer faulty, 0654;
• bad road, 1617.

In addition to malfunctions in the operation of individual vehicle components, errors may also occur in the BC itself. This is easy to check: if no information is displayed on the screen when the ignition is turned on, you should check the connector connecting the computer to the computer. Obviously incorrect information is displayed on the screen when the protocol fails. To correct the situation, you need to reboot the BC, select the protocol corresponding to the characteristics of the car in the menu and install it. In case of more serious damage, you must contact the warranty workshop. It should be borne in mind that when storing the car outdoors for a long time, especially in severe frost, it is necessary to remove the on-board computer. Also, you must not allow water to enter the BC unit or operate it with faulty electrical equipment.

Installing standard BCs on the Lada Vesta is significant progress, as they greatly facilitate management and minimize operating costs. In addition to its undeniable advantages, the standard device also has a number of disadvantages that can be easily eliminated by installing an additional on-board computer.

The Vesta instrument cluster has a built-in trip computer (MK), which has a number of useful functions that are not found in the on-board computers (BC) of many cars (including those of competitors). For example, you can find out the voltage of the on-board network or the speed limiter. Read the instructions for using the bookmaker.

How to remove the dashboard of Lada Vesta

Removing the panel will be necessary if you are sure that its elements are faulty, or for flashing. To do this, you will need a flat and figured screwdriver, and a hex key. This is done like this:

• Disconnect the power terminals from the battery to prevent short circuit;
• Unscrew two screws at the top;
• Pull the top of the shield towards you until the latches snap off;
• Unscrew the two screws that secure the devices. This must be done without touching the wires;
• Pull the part towards you and disconnect the connector with wires from it, remembering the pinout.

List of firmware for the instrument panel

You can send your Vesta instrument panel firmware via the feedback form, we will add it to the table. Help has already been provided by val9001tlt and RUPARADOX.

— KK and OS indication — Two modes of KP backlight. Bright illumination in DRL mode. In the dimensions mode, low/high beam, the backlight is slightly dimmed - Displays the actual temperature of the internal combustion engine (and not instantly)

Important: For flashing, use firmware suitable for this version of the device. You cannot install an older version on a newer socket and vice versa to avoid malfunctions.

Functions and features of the Vesta panel device

The instrument cluster on the Lada Vesta is completely different from those used on the Priora, Grant and Kalina. It is now a completely redesigned multifunctional device.

The speedometer is located in the central well - this is the main element of any “tidy” in a production car. The scale implies acceleration to 200 km/h, although in fact the stated maximum speed of Vesta with the current engine is no more than 185 km/h. Next to the speedometer there is a small on-board computer display, on which the driver can see all the necessary information about the operation of the engine and other vehicle systems.

Inside the speedometer scale there are various indicators that inform the driver about different parameters: the hazard warning lights are on and the direction indicators are on, the brake pads are critically worn, the engine is malfunctioning and the engine oil level is low. On the left is the tachometer well, the scale of which is marked from 1 to 7 (1000-7000 rpm). The engine allows you to “spin” up to 5500 rpm - this way there is no harm to the motor. After this mark there is a red zone; prolonged operation of the power unit at such high speeds is not recommended. The tachometer also contains information indicators.

On the right side there is a well in which there are two indicators. One of them informs about the engine temperature, and the second – about the fuel level in the tank

In Grant, the temperature indicator was removed to reduce the cost of the car, but in the climatic conditions of Russia and the CIS countries, it is extremely important for the driver to know the current temperature of the engine oil in order to prevent possible overheating due to various malfunctions

In general, the instrument panel has an attractive design; the scales are backlit in green and orange with white numbers. The only drawback is the poor design of the arrow indicators. The intermediate divisions of the scales are not informative, and you need to get used to them. With a quick glance while moving, it will not be easy to read the readings.
