How to check the coil and ignition module of Lada Kalina 8 and 16 valves with your own hands?

How to check the serviceability of the ignition coil Lada Kalina

Turn off the ignition and disconnect the engine control system wiring harness block from the coil.
To check the coil power circuit, connect the tester to the middle terminal of the harness block and the engine ground.

When the ignition is turned on, the device should record a voltage approximately equal to the battery voltage.

If there is no voltage at the middle terminal of the wiring harness block, then the wire connecting the block to the ignition switch or the lock contact group is probably faulty.

To test the coil control circuits, you can use a probe with a 1-2 W lamp.

We relieve the pressure in the engine power supply system and do not replace the fuel pump fuse.

We connect the probe probes to the middle and one of the outer terminals of the wiring harness block.

If the control (and power) circuit is working properly, the probe light should blink frequently when cranking the crankshaft with the starter.

Otherwise, check the wire connecting the outer terminal of the block to the controller terminal for open circuit and short to ground.

Similarly, by connecting the probe probes to the middle and other extreme terminals of the block, we check the other control circuit of the ignition coil.

You can check the serviceability of the ignition coil itself on the engine by disconnecting the wiring harness block and high-voltage wires from it; for clarity, we show the test on a dismantled coil.

To check one of the primary windings of the coil, connect the tester probes to the middle and one of the outer terminals of the ignition coil.

Using the ohmmeter mode, we check the circuit for an open circuit.

If the tester shows infinity, it means there is an open circuit in the circuit.

Similarly, by connecting the tester probes to the middle and other extreme terminals of the coil, we check the other primary winding of the coil for an open circuit.

To check for breakdown (short to ground) of the primary windings, connect the tester probes to the middle terminal of the coil and to the metal part of the coil body.

If the circuit of the primary windings is working properly, the tester should record the value infinity.

To check for a break in the secondary winding of the ignition coil, connect the tester probes to the paired high-voltage terminals of the coil (terminals 1-4 or 2-3 cylinders).

For a working ignition coil, the tester should record a resistance of about 4.0 kOhm.

If the secondary winding breaks, the tester will show “infinity”.

Similarly, we check the other secondary winding of the ignition coil.

We check the secondary windings of the ignition coil for breakdown on the engine.

We relieve the pressure in the engine power supply system and do not replace the fuel pump fuse.

To test, you will need two known good spark plugs.

We tie the candle bodies together with a piece of uninsulated wire (“massage”).

We connect the paired terminals of the ignition coil with the spark plugs using serviceable high-voltage wires and place the spark plugs on the cylinder head cover.

Turn the crankshaft with the starter

Do not touch spark plugs or high-voltage wire tips, otherwise you may receive an electric shock.

If the ignition coil is working properly, sparks should regularly jump between the electrodes of the spark plugs.

Similarly, by connecting the high-voltage wires to the other two paired terminals of the coil, we check the other secondary winding for breakdown.

Checking the ICP with a spark gap

Procedure

Disconnect the IKZ from the spark plug.
Install a spark gap on the IKZ.
Apply ground (from the battery terminal) to the spark gap using a wire.
Turn the crankshaft with the starter.
If there is a spark, then the IKZ is working.

Let us remind you that you can find a problem in engine operation by independently measuring the pressure in the fuel rail, or by checking the compression in the cylinders.

About an individual ignition coil

In modern cars, individual ignition coils (ICO) are used to supply a spark to the cylinder. Older cars use ignition modules, meaning one module is entirely responsible for firing all cylinders. An individual ignition coil is responsible only for the operation of one cylinder in which it is installed.

IKZ began to be installed on VAZ cars, starting with the Lada Priora car on the 126th engine. An ignition module is still installed on 8-valve VAZ engines. The car's on-board network uses low-voltage voltage, which is not capable of itself forming a powerful spark necessary for engine operation. Therefore, ignition coils are used to supply high voltage voltage.

IKZ device

The Priora coil consists of a primary and secondary winding, between which a core is placed. To contact the spark plug, a spring is used, which is placed in a rubber tip. The IKZ also has a metal screen that protects the coil from high temperatures, because IKZ is installed in the well of the cylinder head, then the temperature conditions there are simply enormous.

The primary winding is wound from thin copper wire with a number of turns of 10,000-15,000.

The secondary winding of the coil consists of 100-150 turns of thick copper wire.

The connection between the coils is electromagnetic.

Buying new wires

In this section we will describe which high-voltage wires are best purchased for Kalina at a car dealership. Standard wires from universal parts from AvtoVAZ will cost approximately 500-600 rubles. Set includes 4 pieces. Components for Kalina from early years of production are cheaper - about 400 rubles. High-voltage wires Kalina 8 cells. 50-70 rubles cheaper.

Wires from third-party manufacturers, including foreign ones, are available for sale. For example, wires of the “HUCO” brand are distinguished by an increased insulating layer and, accordingly, cost more - about a thousand rubles. A complete ignition wiring harness for a Kalina costs about five thousand rubles in online stores.

Among “Kalinovodov” “high-voltage” brands “SLON” are popular. These products are distinguished by their ductility, resistance to fractures and, in general, have a longer service life compared to factory components at a competitive price - about 700 rubles.

Symptoms of a bad coil

There are many symptoms of coil failure and sometimes it is very difficult to determine that the coil is to blame. If such symptoms appear in your car, then you should pay attention to the ICD.

Signs of coil failure:

One of the cylinders does not work;
The car does not develop power;
Jerking when pressing the gas pedal sharply;
The engine shakes at idle;
Increased vibration at idle;
Floating speed;

It should also be noted that if the ignition coil is faulty, misfires will appear in the cylinders, as a result of which the ECU will turn off the operation of the faulty cylinder and signal this by turning on the “Cheek Engine” lamp. When “Cheek Engine” appears on the car, it is necessary to diagnose the system. If there are misfires, the ECU will display errors 0301, 0302, 0303, 0304. Where the last digits of the codes are the cylinder number.

It is not recommended to operate a car with a faulty ignition coil; this can lead to failure of the catalyst.

Checking the ignition coil

There are two reliable ways to check IKZ: visual inspection and checking with a multimeter.

It should be noted that the IKZ check is similar for all Lada cars with a 16-valve engine, i.e. the check on cars such as LADA Vesta and X-ray will be the same.

In order to check the ignition coil, it must be removed from the car.

Removing IKZ:

Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
Remove the decorative plastic trim.
We unscrew the coil we need with a “10” or Torx E8 head.
Remove the coil plug and remove it.

Visual inspection

After the coil is removed, it must be carefully inspected. The rubber tip should not have tears or cracks. The plastic part must not be melted or cracked. The contact spring must be in the correct shape without oxidation or rust.

Cracks in the coils or tears in the rubber cap will direct the spark to the engine body, therefore, no current will be supplied to the spark plug, which will lead to misfires.

If such visual faults are detected, the coil must be replaced.

Checking with a multimeter

Testing with a multimeter is divided into two stages. Checking the resistance of the IKZ itself and checking the control voltage of the IKZ (checking the voltage on the IKZ power supply block).

Replacing the ignition module on a viburnum and checking it

Welcome! Ignition module - someone else calls it a coil, but this is the wrong name and it came from the people; in fact, inside this module there are two ignition coils, one of which goes to two cylinders and the other of which also goes to two cylinders.

Note! In order to change the ignition module in a car, you will need tools, namely you will need: A hex wrench with which you will unscrew the hex bolts that secure the module itself, in addition, be sure to stock up on a wrench with which you will blue the minus terminal from the battery batteries!

Summary:

Where is the ignition module located? On the eight-valve native engine of the Kalina car, it is located in the front part of the car between the engine and the TV (The TV is the very front part of the car that connects both side members together, it is made in the form of metal; headlights, front bumper, etc. are also put on it ., the wings no longer belong to it), for a more detailed location, see the photo located just below:

Note! If you own a 16 valve car, then in this case the module is located in a completely different place and you have four of them (above the spark plugs) and if you need to replace them, then follow the link to another article that is posted on our website and read it, it’s called: “Replacing Spark Plugs”!

When do you need to change the ignition module? As mentioned earlier, there are two coils inside it, one of the coils leads to the first and fourth cylinders, and the other to the third and second, thus if one of the coils fails, the engine will start to double (Many car enthusiasts ask the question after the word double, namely, they ask: “How is it, this doesn’t happen?”, in fact, you can simply hear these words rarely, many are accustomed to the word the engine is tripping and they don’t know how it doubles, in general, doubles means two cylinders are not working) , due to the fact that two cylinders have stopped working, you can immediately say that the car’s power will decrease by half, in connection with this, “Check engine” will light up on the instrument panel, which will tell you that something is wrong with the engine, and of course But there will be a problem with the idle speed, namely it will float, then the tachometer needle will go up, then it will fall down, etc.

Spark plugs differ in the number of electrodes and material:

Spark plugs are of great importance in transport. The current that accumulates in the ignition coil is distributed evenly across the spark plugs at a certain moment and is the source of the spark at the spark plug electrodes. This spark becomes the source of fuel detonation in the combustion chamber.

Differences 16th grade. VAZ engines detailed review

On the old bearing that I changed, the strut rotated with force and jerking with the steering rod removed, the difference in torsion of the strut after replacing the bearing was very noticeable. And to help motorists, sellers gave a photocopy of this article. Does not allow moisture to enter the conductor and reduces current leakage to a minimum during the transmission process. When you turn on any mode of operation of the wipers, you can only hear the click of a tripped thermobimetallic fuse, and I postponed the solution to this problem until the morning.

Thus, having screwed them into the holes for the bolts securing the locking plates of the adjusting nuts, noise appeared approximately from the bridge. The source of the trouble lies in the engine itself. I took a station wagon, since before that I had a five-room sedan and there were problems with transportation. After this, remove the damper shaft from the carburetor cover. After 4 days, even the alarm refused to open from the key fob. But only on the installed body in the trunk. I completely disassembled the car and am now putting it back together. Knowing the car that first of all you need to check the steering, exaggerating, turn the steering wheel so that there are no backlashes and the brake system, exaggerating, press the brake pedal so that it does not fall and is pressed at all, because even the rules state the movement of vehicles with faulty steering and brake the system is prohibited.

The instrument panel does not reflect the reaction to turning the key in the ignition switch; there is sufficient adhesion; it is easily applied to the damaged area.

How to replace the ignition module on a VAZ 1117-VAZ 1119?

Note! We want to tell you right away, remember once and for all, if you go to a car store to buy new spare parts, be sure to look at the markings on the old ones and according to it and buy new parts, for greater clarity, first find the module where it is installed in you (Where the module is installed in Kaliny was shown above in the photo), after finding it, look at the marking on the module body (indicated by a red arrow) and write it down on a piece of paper and give it to the seller in the store before purchasing the part, if you install any other module, then the same engine operation will not guaranteed since they are all different for VAZ cars!

Removal: 1) At the very beginning of the operation, disconnect the minus terminal from the battery terminal, this is done in order to protect yourself from the module, since it produces a very huge current (Around 25,000-35,000 volts) so you need to take all precautions (It produces this current, only if you start the car), and if you don’t already know how to remove the terminal, you can read the detailed instructions about this, and it’s called: “Replacing the battery on a VAZ”, read the first point in it.

2) Then, when everything is de-energized in the car due to the terminal you removed, disconnect the four ends of the high-voltage wires from the module terminals by hand and move them to the side so that they do not interfere.

Note! By the way, when you disconnect the high-voltage wires, then also disconnect the wiring block from the module; for clarity, in the photo above it is indicated by a red arrow, and it is very easy to disconnect, just press the latch that secures it and then you can disconnect the block!

Repair or buy a new one

There is no clear answer to this question. The fact is that it is very difficult to find a new contact group on the Kalina ZZ, in contrast to the classics, Samara and the tenth family. Therefore, you have to repair it, which without experience, skills and desire is not the best idea. Most often, owners install a new ZZ by purchasing it assembled.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account that the Kalina ignition switch has an immobilizer that will not respond to the new key and the car will not be able to start. Of course there is a way out. You can retrain the immobilizer for a new key. In this case, you will also have to change the cylinders on the door locks.

You can do it easier - carry two keys with you. True, it is not clear whether it is worth keeping them on one bundle. Therefore, the most reasonable thing would be to make a new “tip” and install it on the old key. By the way, it may be included in the delivery of a new lock.

Operation of the ignition coil on Kalina with an 8-valve engine

Efficiently working ignition coil Kalina 8-cl. — guarantee of quick start of the car in any weather conditions. In this regard, car owners pay a lot of attention to it. Often, even a relatively small malfunction of this unit can immobilize the car for a long time.

In order to avoid this, you need to monitor your car. It would be a good idea to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding performance characteristics.

Otherwise, the car owner risks spending a lot of money annually on long-term repairs. Experience shows that proper driving reduces the risk of possible failures and associated downtime of the Lada Kalina in the garage by a third.

Misfire video

The ignition coil in the 8-valve version of the Lada Kalina power unit, as in the 16-valve version, plays a primary role. It allows the engine to start easily even in very unfavorable climatic conditions

This circumstance encourages owners to pay increased attention to this product. Even a minor deviation in the functioning of the coil can immobilize the car for a long time.

To minimize the risks of such a situation, we urge owners to follow the manufacturer’s regulatory recommendations. If the owner neglects this aspect, he will provoke himself into replacing the coil, which is very expensive. And in general, the ignition system must be maintained and operated carefully.

Operation in various conditions

Many inexperienced drivers, not understanding the essence of the breakdown, decide that an expensive replacement of the ignition switch or the wiring as a whole is necessary. Experienced drivers advise not to rush to conclusions. If, due to various circumstances, the ignition coil fails, the corresponding indicator lights up on the dashboard. The first thing the driver should do in such a situation is to drive the car into the garage and open the hood.

Often spark plugs fail due to a power surge or short circuit. As a result, the spark does not travel properly throughout the system. A number of other circumstances can cause a similar problem:

the car was damaged in an accident;
replacement of spark plugs may be required after lightning strikes the car;
poor-quality previous repairs;
use of non-original spare parts;
failure to comply with technical inspection deadlines at the service center.

Regardless of the reason, the ignition circuit needs a full analysis. Often the problem is complex. That is why, if the driver does not have enough technical experience, the first decision that comes to mind should not be accepted as the only correct one.

Selected aspects of technical operation

Often the reason for many calls to the service station is not so much malfunctions in the high-voltage wires, but rather the incorrect operation of the Kalina ignition module. To carry out diagnostics, you can go to a service center or pick up the tools yourself. One of these is a multimeter used to measure the actual resistance level on the 8-cell pins. engine. To obtain correct measurement results, it is necessary to carry out 2 times.

The ignition system can be damaged in any part of the circuit, so monitoring must be careful. It all starts with checking that the winding is properly connected to ground. It is necessary to carefully insert the contacts, focusing on the indicators of the device. Then one of the contact terminals of the device is connected to the central contact of the spark plug coil. In this case, the second contact is attached to ground.

If an infinity symbol is visible on the multimeter screen, this indicates that there is no short circuit in this area. This should tell the car owner that the ignition circuit is in perfect order. Car owners without sufficient experience in car maintenance should be guided by the following fact. If, in addition to the infinity icon, there remains a “1” on the monitor, which was there before connection, this indicates that the section is working properly.
