Proper disabling of the immobilizer on the Lada Kalina: how and why?

In this article, auto electrician Alexey Molotov answers the question “How to turn off the standard alarm on a viburnum?”

What should a motorist do if his anti-theft system suddenly fails - he is confused in determining the reasons, and he has been waiting for a long time for help or there is no one from anyone?

The procedure for recording a password is similar to training an APS.

1. Having inserted the training key into the lock, turn the ignition on and off, then remove it: the APS indicator flashes for 6 seconds - during this time you need to…

2. ...turn on the ignition with the working key. Three buzzer beeps sound, then two more - turn off the ignition and remove the key. The indicator blinks again for 6 seconds - you need to be in time...

3. ...turn on the ignition with the training key... Three beeps, then two - turn off the ignition, but do not remove the key. Soon, one beep will sound and the indicator will flash faster.

In addition to the immobilizer function, the APS is responsible for several more: control of the inclusion of rear fog lights, a delay in turning off power to the power windows for 30 s after turning off the ignition, information (intermittent sound signal) about a key forgotten in the ignition switch, or about the side lights being turned on (two beeps when opening the driver's door), and finally - a delay in turning off the interior lighting.

How does remote control work? Door locks open, at the owner's discretion, in two stages. If you only need the driver's license, press the key fob button once. Pressing it again opens the remaining doors. The latter can be locked from the inside by pressing the button located next to the power window buttons (photo 1).

Let us add: no one has yet invented electronic, mechanical, or any other means of protection that absolutely guarantee the impossibility of hacking. This is the cost of the fact that we live in an enlightened age, when the level of training of Fort Knox burglars is in no way lower than the qualifications of the guards.

RECORD PASSWORD (CHEAT SHEET)

1. About. key on - off ignition, remove: indic. APS flashes for 6 seconds - have time to:

2. R. key on. ignition: 3 beeps — 2 signals - off ignition, remove, indic. APS flashes for 6 seconds - have time to:

3. About. key on ignition: 3 beeps — 2 beeps, off - Do not remove the key! — 1 signal. + fast flashing indicator APS.

5. Enter a six-digit password. Entry order:

The engine blocker used in VAZ cars may fail. In this case, the device stops responding to the owner’s commands or stopping the engine during a trip. Drivers often have a question about how to disable immobilizers on Kalina themselves.

Factory shutdown method

To use it, you need to know the location of the special “Valet” button. By interacting with it, you can put the car into service mode, thus turning off the alarm. This button can be located in different places. This depends on the model and make of the car. Most often it can be detected:

• slightly to the right of the gas pedal;
• slightly to the left of the clutch pedal;
• within the fuse box or somewhere near it;
• immediately under the steering wheel, in a small recess;
• under the front panel.

Since this is a special service button, it will not be visible and easy to access (this makes no sense). If you cannot find the Valet button in the indicated places, you should study the operating instructions for the anti-theft system. Such information is key, so it will definitely be indicated there.

The alarm is turned off by simultaneously pressing the Valet and one of the pedals (sometimes you need to press two pedals at once). The most common combination is Valet and clutch pedal, after which the alarm will be disabled.

If you don't have an instruction booklet, you can try all the combinations of holding the Valet and pedals. First, you should press the pedals in order, and if this does not help, move on to combinations. You will need to repeat the action six times, but some anti-theft systems can block the car after just two attempts.

On modern cars, there is a different factory way to turn off the alarm. It differs from maneuvers with pedals, since you will have to interact exclusively with the Valet button and the ignition.

To do this, you need to take a few simple steps:

• Open the door with a regular key. This will activate the security system, the siren, and the turn signals will flash.
• Then turn on the ignition for a couple of seconds and turn it off immediately. The engine does not need to be started in all subsequent versions, only the ignition.
• Then the Valet button is pressed and held for several seconds.
• The alarm will emit a short siren, which will notify the driver that the car has entered emergency mode.

Each time the ignition is turned off, the car will emit two short beeps - another reminder that the emergency mode is activated.

Hello . question on topic. We have a Kali Lux car 2011. all keys are lost. I deleted the immo in the ecu. the car started. I don’t know how to turn off the standard alarm. I will be grateful for any hint.

There are three options. The first is to prepare a new red key and a new one with buttons, adapt it according to the instructions, disarm it with a key with buttons. The second is to buy a module for connecting an alarm system - Master Lin, connect and disarm according to the instructions. Third, reset the comfort block.

Write a clean dump into the electrical package. Look here on the forum, everything has been there for a long time.

Well, I didn’t find it, no matter how I looked. and where should I write it? there is only a peak and it is closed.

how to reset it? this comfort block.

There is another option, find the same viburnum... remove the button module from the door and disarm it using the remote control

There is another option, find the same viburnum... remove the button module from the door and disarm it using the remote control

good option but where to find it? who needs to have their car picked out?

I don’t understand one thing. that is, she will scream, blink, but the keys will still be registered?

What's the problem then? Buy a new electrical package and rewrite the key...

I tried cleaning the engine on a viburnum with APS 6.1 and writing with a new red key. The procedure hadn't even started.

APS 6.1, if I'm not mistaken, they are not rewritable, they are disposable, the chip is protected

APS-6.1 does not have an external eeprom. Everything in PIC18F2520

In general, I didn’t make the car. the client was not local and was in a hurry. I left without any comfort. But if possible, I’ll try all the options on another machine.

good option but where to find it?
who needs to have their car picked out? I don’t understand one thing. that is, she will scream, blink, but the keys will still be registered?

That's right, he will yell, but the prescribing procedure will proceed as usual, I did it personally

Have you tried it yourself on 6.1? Electrical package and APS are two different things.

On Kalina

Have you tried it yourself on 6.1? Electrical package and APS are two different things.

When you were training on APS 6.1, did you disarm comfort with an untrained dump?

On Kalina, when you were training on APS 6.1, did you disarm comfort with an untrained dump?

what dump are you talking about? where is it stored in this block? unless, again, a replacement new comfort block. but if spyf says that everything will be registered, then let him yell.

Comfort unit under the rear sofa.

I apologize about the dumps, I got confused. In comfort if Kalina Luxe there is no external eeprom. Only the peak is closed. I read on a neighboring forum that if you train in security, then the keys will not be registered in APS 6.1, but in CBKE yes. With that push-button key you can disarm the security.

Guys, the car on security has lost the key with the remote control, but there is a key with a red stripe; when you turn on the ignition, the car does not stop screaming, will a new black key be registered in it?

Your red key appears to be missing a chip. If there is an alarm with auto start, perhaps this chip was removed from the key and placed in the immobilizer bypass module.

How to activate immo?

If you were able to disable the standard alarm on Kalina, you may have to reactivate it in the future. When an alarm is installed on Kalina, the car owner will need to activate the system (if it fails for some reason) using a special code. Before activation, you need to make sure that you have a training key installed in the lock. When you insert the key, the ignition will need to be turned on and off several times. In this case, the APS light should blink for six seconds.

While the indicator is blinking, to activate the immobilizer, you must install a working key in the lock and activate the ignition. Then three beeps should sound; if this happens, the ignition should be turned off and the key promptly removed. If you do everything correctly, another beep will sound, and the light will blink more often. Then the ignition is activated again, and the Check Engine indicator should appear on the tidy, and when it goes out, you can enter the code, which should consist of six digits from 1 to 9. This will be your new password.

After entering the code, hold down the gas pedal until the Check indicator appears on the instrument panel again (no more than three seconds). Then you can enter the combination. If the first number is 3, then press the gas three times, and the Check indicator on the device will light up again. If it goes out, this indicates that the first digit of the combination has been accepted; all that remains is to write it into the ECU memory.

To do this, press the gas again and hold the pedal for five seconds until the indicator disappears again. Similar actions are carried out with the remaining digits of the code.

How does the standard Lada Kalina alarm system work?

The principle of operation of the system is actually similar to most other designs of security systems. Through remote control, actions are taken to protect the vehicle from unauthorized access. The car security system allows

:

• lock/unlock door locks with key fob
• lock all doors by turning the key only in the driver's door lock
• lock/unlock doors with a button in the car interior
• turn on an alarm in case of violation of security conditions

In principle, there are no special complaints about all the noted manipulations. Most owners respond well to the functionality of the functions. Nevertheless, there are some rather interesting observations.

where is

The immobilizer on Kalina can be located deep in the dashboard near the central air conditioner pipe. The antenna unit, shaped like a ring, is located in the ignition switch. The chip is built into the head of the key. The information is read when the engine starts. You can access the blocker as follows:

• disconnect the power cables of the on-board network from the battery;
• pull out the ashtray and unscrew the 4 bolts holding the housing (the latter is removed from the socket)
• remove the plugs located near the service alarm button;
• Unscrew 2 screws located under the plugs;
• remove the rotary air distributors;
• remove the central decorative trim by removing it from the clips;
• disconnect the electronic cables leading to electrical devices installed on the dashboard;
• dismantle the standard unit, which is located under the central air duct;
• disconnect the immobilizer power cable (to do this, press the latch).

Before activating the immobilizer for 2 viburnums, you need to fill the fuel tank. This will prevent interruptions in the operation of the blocker caused by an emergency buzzer warning about a lack of gasoline. Activation of the immobilizer unit requires the following actions:

• closing car doors;
• inserting the key into the lock and turning on the ignition;
• turning off the ignition and removing the key (performed after 3 buzzer signals)
• ignition activation (carried out using a dark key included in the immobilizer kit)
• motor shutdown (performed after 5 buzzer signals)
• installing a reddish key and activating the ignition;
• motor shutdown, performed after 5 buzzer signals (the key is left in the lock)
• ignition activation (carried out within 5 seconds after 1 buzzer signal occurs)
• wait 5 seconds (after this time the hazard warning lights start flashing and the horn sounds an audible warning)
• turning off the ignition (leaving the key in the lock, wait until the lock indicator on the dashboard disappears).

Some cars notify the user NOT with a sound, but with a light indication. The immobilizer light that glows on the dashboard begins to flash.

Conversion into a single door unlocking impulse

The controller of the central locking control unit opens the doors in two stages: one press of the button unlocks the driver’s door, two presses – all others. But you can make it so that everything unlocks after one press. This is very easy to do:

1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Press the unlock and close buttons at the same time and hold for at least five seconds.
3. After the beep, the key can be released.

When the buzzer sounds once, the system notifies you of the transition to a new mode. Returning everything to the way it was before is just as easy. To do this, repeat the above procedure and wait for the double buzzer to confirm the transition to the default settings.

DIY security system installation

The installation of an alarm system in Kalina is carried out after removing the dashboard and disassembling the steering column to make it easier to install the wires.

Keychain for standard Kalina alarm system

From the wires located under the dashboard you will need:

• 2 wires transmitting signals to the turn signals;
• wire directing the signal to the hood;
• similar wire for the trunk;
• wires for doors;
• two-phase wires (+/-);
• parking brake wire.

Anyone who has a standard alarm system, change it urgently

The key of one Priora fits another Priora.

You will also need instructions describing all the steps, which must be studied very carefully. The operations are performed in the following order.

1. You need to take the turn signal wires going to the dashboard . Connect 2 wires with blue and black-blue.
2. Connect the parking brake wire, which is necessary for automatic engine starting, to the same harness. You should find a blue-brown wire and connect it to the handbrake.
3. Next you need to check the operation of the motor. This can be done using a generator, that is, the appearance of voltage during ignition indicates a successful start. Then a connection is made with a brown-white wire, soldered and insulated.
4. We move down from the dashboard to the BUS, which lies under the seat at the back, on the left, closer to the bottom of the driver's door. Here you will need only 2 wires responsible for opening and closing the doors. We connect the negative of the system to any body bolt.
5. connect to the pink-black wire responsible for unlocking the doors.
6. We take the white-pink wire responsible for closing the door. You need to be especially careful because in poor lighting it can be confused with black and red, since they are similar. The black and white hood wire is also located here.

The principle of operation of the factory alarm Lada Kalina

Lada Kalina is an absolutely comfortable and reliable vehicle, equipped with a factory alarm system.

Its working principle of connection is absolutely similar to all designs of car protection systems. Through the control panel, you can remotely carry out commands that the standard alarm system provides against theft and burglary. The key fob is able to work for quite a long time without draining the battery, and it is also not afraid of light rain and cold.

The alarm allows you to:

• Lock and unlock door locks using the key fob.
• Lock all doors by closing the driver's door with the key.
• Lock and unlock door buttons in the cabin.
• Activate an alarm if connection or security conditions are violated.

As such, there were no complaints about how the standard alarm works and a large number of users responded positively to the operation of the alarm. However, there are certain nuances, such as connection and operation points.

Scher-Khan Magicar II

Quite a simple algorithm:

1. We open the car with the key.
2. In 3 sec. you need to have time to turn the ignition from the “ACC” position to the “ON” position 4 times.
3. Turn off the ignition.
4. As a result, the siren will turn off, the side lights will flash 1 time, and 2 more times after 6 s.
5. After this you will be able to start.

Scher-Khan Magicar IV

The following actions need to be taken:

1. We open the car with the key.
2. In 4 sec. you need to have time to turn the ignition from the “LOCK” position to the “ON” position 3 times.
3. Turn off the ignition.
4. As a result, the alarm mode will turn off, the side lights will flash 1 time, and 2 more times after 5 s.
5. Now you can start the car.

Scher-Khan Magicar 6

Here you need to know the code, which initially (if you did not change this value yourself) is “1111”:

1. We open the car with the key.
2. In 4 sec. you need to have time to turn the key in the ignition switch from the “LOCK” position to the “ON” position 3 times.
3. Turn off the ignition.
4. We repeat step 2, only the number of times the key positions are changed will be equal to the 1st digit of the code.
5. We repeat point 3.
6. After 4 sec. the alarm will blink once, indicating the possibility of entering the next digit of the code.
7. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all code numbers have been entered. In between, we wait for permission to enter the next digit.
8. After entering the 4th digit, the alarm will blink 2 times.
9. If the code is correct, the siren will turn off and you can start the car.

The following video shows how you can disarm your car without using the key fob:

Purpose in different cars

Without the participation of limit switches in a car, even such a process as opening and closing doors, hood or trunk is not complete. If there is an unauthorized attempt to open them, the security alarm is immediately triggered, which is connected to the corresponding parts through certain wires.

Without the help of a switch, the lamp inside the car will not automatically turn on at night, the control sensor will not work, etc. The trunk lighting will not turn on when it is opened. The brake lights will not light up when you press the brake pedal if the corresponding part – the “frog” – is faulty.

The units vary in shape and installation location depending on the make of the car. The door elements of many cars are located in the door opening (slam). It’s just impossible to see where the door switches are located on Kalina, since the part is hidden in the door lock.

How to disable the alarm along with the immobilizer on VAZ cars

The equipment manufacturer always indicates in the instructions how to turn off the alarm in the absence of a key fob. By pressing the Valet button in a certain sequence, the security mode is deactivated in 100% of cases. It turns out that it will be easy to turn off the car alarm if you know the corresponding code. But the Valet button is not connected to immobilizers, including standard ones. Therefore, before leaving, you will have to spend 20-30 minutes just to deactivate the protection for a while. Here we discuss how to independently disable the APS-6 immobilizer, which has been standard equipment on any VAZ car since 2004.

Software disabling the APS-6 immobilizer

To disable the alarm, you do not need to program anything. Let's say the key fobs are lost - then you open the instructions, look for the secret code and disarm the car by clicking on Valet. It is possible to program a new code that differs from the standard one, and the programming itself is performed precisely in such cases. But with immobilizers, everything looks the other way around - if the device is not programmed, then in the absence of a correctly registered key fob, only towing will help. Disabling the immobilizer from the car wiring is not suitable for everyone.

Immobilizer connector, pins 9-18

Writing a code sequence to the immobilizer

It is not discussed here how to disable the APS-6 immobilizer if it has been activated once. This action is not feasible at all, although disabling the alarm, if we talk about standard equipment, is provided for in VAZ cars. Let's say the standard immobilizer was not activated and was not used by the owner. Then, 6 seconds after starting the engine, the “light with the car” turns on.

VAZ training and working key

Main problems and features of immobilizers

How to find and where should the immobilizer be located? How to bypass the device if it does not work and how is it configured? Typically, car owners of relatively new Kalinas face similar questions. The power unit of the car begins to start every other time, or when trying to start, the starter turns a little, and then does not respond at all to the actions of the motorist. In this case, the corresponding car icon with a key - immobilizer - may appear on the car dashboard and not go out.

New immobilizer for Kalina

No less often, the immobilizer is disabled due to the sensitivity of the device. The system control unit may break if it is affected by interference from a mobile gadget or other device. As a rule, all such malfunctions are caused by incorrect operation of the K-Line diagnostic line. Ultimately, the owner of Kalina has to reboot the system using the alternative startup method.

From a theoretical point of view, disabling the immobilizer on Kalina is not at all difficult. To do this, you only need to enter the six-digit combination corresponding to the instructions and diagram, after which the engine can start.

However, in practice, the driver will have to work hard to start the engine, because there is neither a display nor a corresponding button in the vehicle to enter the secret code. To activate the power unit to bypass the system, the driver will have to literally use Morse code, namely, press the code with the gas pedal. Moreover, this function must also be additionally activated. So in general, this procedure is not particularly simple, which is why domestic car owners are often interested in the question of how to disable the immobilizer on their own.

Is it necessary to disable the immobilizer on a VAZ?

As a rule, the need to disable the system arises when installing an anti-theft system with automatic engine start. In practice, it can be quite problematic to “make friends” with such systems from the factory. Therefore, many “specialists” at service stations simply fix the spare key on zip ties or tape next to the ignition switch. And for the mechanism, this is equivalent to the fact that the driver will be constantly present in the car interior. This should not be done under any circumstances, because if a criminal tries to take possession of the car, he will immediately have the key to the car in his hands.

How to turn off a car alarm

If the security module is out of order and does not respond to commands sent from the control panel, but at the same time gives an alarm, then the first step is to turn off the sound emitter (bell).

A siren installed on a car can be autonomous (powered by a built-in battery) or non-autonomous (powered by the vehicle’s on-board network).

• Disabling a non-autonomous emitter.

To turn off such a device, it is enough to interrupt its power supply circuit. This can be done by removing the power wire terminals from the emitter body or cutting them (cut wires should be insulated).

• Disabling the autonomous siren.

Egnition lock

The ignition switch is a complex device designed to control the power supply to the vehicle systems, prevent the battery from discharging and ensure that the engine starts from the starter system. The castle includes two components:

• mechanical, represented by a lock cylinder;
• electrical, which is a set of contacts that close electrical impulses when the key is turned in one way or another.

The ignition switch on the Lada Kalina has three modes:

The Lada Kalina ignition switch kit contains a key for the lock, which serves not only in its straight profile, but also as a key for the doors and trunk.

Disconnection Guide

To know how to disable the immobilizer, you first need to understand where it is located. At the very beginning, you need to dismantle the battery for greater convenience and remove the protection from the instrument panel. In Lada Kalina cars, the immobilizer is located directly behind the heating system control components, next to the audio system. The appearance of the standard alarm is not flashy - it is just a small black box, its dimensions are 5x10 cm.

To dismantle the device, you need to unscrew the screws securing the device to the control panel. Then you should disconnect the power supply from the APS; to do this, remove the plug and hold it with the lock. When the device is removed, you need to reanimate the diagnostic line that we mentioned earlier.

After removal, you need to delete all existing data from the device’s memory, and this is not so easy - you have several options:

1. You can try to modify the control unit by resoldering the chip resistor. The unit itself is connected to the computer, then, using a special bootloader, the firmware is read. Then new firmware is installed on the element, after which the chip must be soldered again to the installation site.
2. You don’t have to touch the chip, but then use the Combiset utility (the author of the video is Video74revieW).

Causes of alarm malfunction

To begin with, we will dwell in detail on the reasons why it is not possible to disable the car alarm using the key fob. Most often they are the following:

• radio interference;
• failure of the alarm key fob;
• car battery discharge.

Radio interference

It may not be possible to unlock the car if there is interference that prevents the signal from the alarm remote control from reaching its target. Interference can be created, for example, by car alarms in a parking lot or other sources with a similar frequency of radio waves. Eliminating this reason is very simple. It is enough to bring the key fob closer to the alarm control unit, which is located on the driver's side, and try to unlock the car again.

Failure of the key fob

Perhaps the problem is not interference at all, but that the battery on your key fob is dead, or it is faulty for another reason. If you have a one-way key fob, press any button and see if the indicator light turns on. If this does not happen, the battery needs to be replaced. In the case of a two-way alarm, the battery charge level will be displayed on the key fob display. Once you find out that the problem is with the battery, you can replace it by purchasing a new one. To get into the car and drive to the nearest store that sells batteries, you can briefly “revive” a dead unit. Remove it from the key fob and tap it with a small hard object to create some deformation. It is as a result of deformation that the battery will regain activity for a short time.

It may turn out that after replacing the battery, the situation did not improve. Then try opening the car using the spare key fob. If this helps, then your main key fob is broken. If disarming the car using a spare key fob also didn’t work, you should check the car’s battery.

Car battery drain

To find out if the battery is the source of your problem, you need to be inside the car. This can be done using a key to open the car doors. If the battery is very discharged, then after opening the door, the alarm may not go off, but most likely you will continue to act under the alarming sounds of the siren.

Once you are in the driver's seat, turn on the ignition and look at the instrument panel. If the indicators on it barely light up, or a message appears indicating that the battery is low, your assumption has been confirmed. You can restore the battery's functionality by lighting it from another car.

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
