The back door of the Lada Kalina is jammed, how to open it

Adjusting the rear doors of Lada Granta

This is how poorly Grant's rear doors open for almost every second owner:
Those who have encountered this problem first try to solve it by lubricating the lock. This helps, but only for a short time. The following are methods that can completely eliminate the rear door problem:

Restoring synchronization

Synchronization may be lost if there is a short-term (from 6 seconds) lack of power to the microcircuit in the key fob. In this case, desynchronization may actually occur, i.e. the connection between the remote control and the control unit of the central locking Lada Kalina is lost. According to the operating manual, if such situations arise, it is necessary to register the key fob again, entering data about it into the memory of the central locking system. You should immediately take into account that the procedure is far from the simplest and most understandable, and you also need a special training key. You can try to restore synchronization as follows:

1. Turn the ignition switch with the key that requires synchronization.
2. Wait 6 seconds.
3. After the immobilizer lamp stops flashing, the ignition can be turned off.

After 10 seconds, the same key is used to start the car again. If the immobilizer warning light does not blink, it means that synchronization has been restored.

At first glance, nothing complicated, but this method does not help in all cases. If there is a training key, but there is no previously registered key, then the ignition is first turned on, then turned off. After the immobilizer warning lamp stops flashing, within six seconds the key is moved to the second position of the ignition switch (starter).

Adjusting the rear door locks of Lada Granta

Procedure:

1. Loosen the three rear door lock bolts, the middle one, using an impact screwdriver.
2. We move the bracket in the desired direction (in each case individually).
3. Tighten the bolt so that the bushing rotates (preliminarily lubricate it with the CV joint).

Modification of door lock Grants

Procedure:

1. Insert a stopper into the lock to prevent it from closing.
2. File off, slightly rounding the sharp ends of the lock prong (without fanaticism).

Adjusting Lada Granta doors

Why are the doors on the Grant difficult to open? The reason is the different radius of curvature of the upper frame of the door. If you study it in detail, you will notice that with the same adjustment of the locks, the rear doors do not touch the upper part of the sealing rubber equally, and when closed, the tight door compresses it much more strongly.

Adjusting Grant doors can be done in several ways: Roll up a tight tube of paper and slide it exactly between the top of the window frame, lowering the glass. Then, gently and firmly pressing, close the door. We repeat this procedure several times, using our hands to help bend the frame with the door closed.

The second way to adjust the doors on Grant: First you need to lower the glass and latch the door with the first click so that a gap remains. Then we take hold of the upper part of the door on the left and right with our hands, and pull with force towards ourselves, but do not overdo it, so as not to break it. We repeat the procedure several times.

As a result of an integrated approach to solving the problem, Grant's rear doors open perfectly!

By the way, do you know how to soundproof doors?

Collection of “people's councils”

If the central locking is not working properly, but you know that the key fobs are fully functional, you can try the following steps:

1. The power supply circuit of the central locking controller is protected by fuse F22. This element can be replaced or simply disabled and then installed back;
2. Let's say no current flows to the actuator of one door. Then find the terminal block by opening the door 90 degrees. In order for the broken contact to be restored, sometimes it is enough to disconnect the mating connector and connect it again;
3. Even if the key fob is working, check whether the self-tapping screw is screwed in all the way. It is recommended to loosen the fastening a little, and then everything works reliably.

To follow “tip number 1”, look for the fifth fuse from the top in the mounting block. The rating of this element is 15 Amperes.

Here is the correct fuse

Rear doors don't open well

Be it Lada Kalina or Lada Granta - both of these cars are now very popular among Russian car enthusiasts. However, on some models during operation, a malfunction such as rear doors that are difficult to open is observed.

And this happens because the doors or locks were poorly adjusted at the factory. This deficiency can be eliminated by contacting an official dealer, or you can fix everything yourself.

Door adjustment process

While adjusting the door

Before you start work, first inspect all the gaps for the correct geometry of the body, on the sides, top and bottom, and depending on where the inaccuracy is found, you should start working.

Tools required: Impact screwdriver and socket set

Adjusting the bottom of the door

1. Open the car window.
2. Apply light blows with your palm to the bottom of the door.
3. In order for you to understand more clearly what we are talking about, we bring to your attention a video about how a similar issue is resolved at the Renault plant.

Adjusting a door with a large gap at the top

1. We lower the window completely. Depending on the configuration, we use either a mechanical handle or a window lifter for this.
2. We close the door until it clicks.
3. Pull the top edge of the door away from you or toward you.

Door lock adjustment

1. First of all, loosen the three bolts that secure the lock in place.

Pulse programming

When connecting a central lock, it is not enough to perform all the steps in the correct sequence; you also need to select the required pulse duration for the locks to operate. If it is too large, the actuators will overheat; if it is insufficient, it will not be enough to open and close. In the luxury configuration, all electronics usually “fall asleep” after 15 minutes of inactivity. To awaken it, an additional impulse is needed.

Central locking is a simple device, but it can secure your car from criminals much more effectively than a police cap on the passenger seat. The centralized door lock system is the most convenient way to quickly open and close them. If this security system is supplemented with a good car alarm, this will prevent you from ending up in a situation where your car is stolen or damaged.

A few months ago, the working key (standard, with buttons) began to malfunction occasionally. The buttons didn't always work. Replacing the battery helped, at first, then it started again. At times the key was completely cut off (arming/disarming). When you open the key, it starts working again (in open form). You put it back together, it may make money, or it may not. Then I noticed that it works better if I press the battery. I put a piece of napkin inside the case, crumpled up so that it pressed the board in the area of ​​​​the battery. Enough for a day... In general, this key got me. I hired him and gave him a comprehensive check “with passion.”

Initial assumptions were confirmed - a microcrack in the printed circuit board track, which comes from the positive contact of the battery. Those. you press the edge of the contact (press it against the board) - it works. You let go - it doesn't work. Restoring the track by soldering is not a solution; in the future, a new microcrack is possible, already due to soldering. Everything is solved in the old, proven, most reliable way - duplicating the track with wire.

The result is clearly visible in the photo (with the battery removed so that the entire duplicated track is visible).

However, after some time a new defect surfaced - unreliable reading of the key transponder (non-recognition of the key by the machine). Once I bought a new battery. I put it in the key. I drove up to the house, went to change clothes and go to the garden. I got into the car, started it... It wouldn’t start. And generally the starter stops turning. And if you wait until all the lights go out, it doesn’t even start. Having checked everything possible, from the fuel pump to the engine controller (I climbed around the car for a couple of hours
