What features does the KAMAZ instrument panel have?

Description and location of indicators and instruments on the panel

In the driver's cabin you can find many incomprehensible devices, the purpose of which must be explained for the correct operation of the vehicle. Each of these devices is located on a special panel, which folds back and is located on the left side of the panel.

The first device where the eye falls is the steering wheel. It is located in the picture below at number 6 and makes it convenient to monitor the readings that are displayed on the measuring instruments in the cockpit. Thanks to the figure below, you can find out the purpose of each button, pedal and lever that are located in the driver’s cab.

1. Auxiliary (direct) brake control button.
2. The pedal is responsible for the clutch.
3. A pedal responsible for controlling the brake valve.
4. A pedal that controls the start of fuel.

A story from repair practice

The instrument panel does not work on KamAZ Cummins

Today is Sunday, the weather is not good again. Cloudy, the sky is densely overcast. Despite the day off, quite a lot of people called today with different problems, I will describe only three. In the morning, an application was received from the city of Vidnoye. A KAMAZ vehicle with a Mercedes Euro 5 engine produced in 2013. Complaints that the instrument panel regularly goes out. The heater and windshield wipers sometimes work, sometimes they don’t, and sometimes the charging indicator light comes on. The fault diagnosis showed low voltage on the on-board network in the vehicle cabin. The foreman cleaned and tightened the mass points; after these measures, the tension returned to normal and the problems disappeared. The owner of the car was very pleased, later he told about the problem of finding a technician for this KAMAZ with this problem, no one wanted to take on this hybrid.

Hello. My KamAZ 5511 instrument panel does not work, the current does not flow there. How to install the ignition switch correctly, which wires should be connected where?

Possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them

To ensure that no problems arise along the way, it is necessary to diagnose the system for faults before shipping.

Initially, when starting to work with this vehicle, if possible, it is necessary to carry out a quick diagnosis of systems and components. To do this, you need to light the dashboard without starting the engine. Among the indicators that light up, you need to find the lamps that are responsible for the technical condition of the battery and handbrake.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the pressure values ​​in the lubricant system and the glow plug fault sensor. After these simple manipulations, you can take two steps that are both easy and responsible.

1. The next time you start the engine, the red indicators on the panel should go out. Only one red lamp should be on. It is responsible for the value of the handbrake. By tightening and releasing the handbrake, you can check the performance of this indicator.
2. After a few seconds - from 15 to 20 - the engine can be turned off and the ignition, on the contrary, turned on. When the engine is running properly, the oil pressure indicator will not light up, which means that the pressure has risen to normal. If the engine is in good working condition, then the sensor will light up a couple of seconds after the engine is turned off. If the indicator flashes earlier or almost instantly, this is an alarming sign. Most likely, the motor is pretty worn out (the author of the video is Sergey Sergeich).

If you still have to deal with a breakdown, you need to decide what the reason is.

The most “popular” faults:

• the nozzle stopped working;
• sensors show erroneous values;
• various control mechanisms stopped responding.

Among other things, one option is to use the engine cigarette lighter incorrectly. If the cigarette lighter is used incorrectly, the engine may not start in the future and will have to be replaced.

In case of malfunctions described above, it is necessary to conduct a full-fledged computer diagnostics, which will reveal the presence of failures and various errors.

Features of electrical equipment

Let's start with a description of what elements and subsystems the KAMAZ-5320 electrical wiring removal includes:

1. Light signaling and turning lights.
2. Heating system, power supply, and windshield cleaning.
3. Exterior lighting, including low and high beams, side lights, fog lights, if any.
4. Car interior lighting.
5. Engine starting system.
6. The wiring diagram also includes a system of control and measuring devices located on the dashboard of the car. The dashboard contains not only a speedometer and tachometer, but also many indicators, as well as sensors designed to provide more convenient control of the car.
7. Sound alarm.
8. Audio system, if available.

Normal operation of the KAMAZ 43118 electrical circuit is possible only with the correct functioning of two main components:

1. Battery. This device provides the ignition system with voltage during engine starting, and also allows you to power the main electrical equipment when the internal combustion engine is turned off.
2. Generator. This unit provides power to all devices and equipment while driving a car. The generator also replenishes the battery charge that was spent on starting the engine.

Installation instructions

1. For convenience, you can assemble the instrument panel at home, and not directly in the car.
2. Install the panel in the cabin using bolts and fasteners.
3. After the work has been done, you can work on the deflector tubes. They need to be tightened with clamps.
4. When installing the dashboard, you must strictly follow the instructions.

The admin will say that if someone knew the reason for certain, they would have already unsubscribed, as this actually happens in other topics. In turn, you didn’t even bother to write down the model of your car and describe (preferably with a photo) its equipment, because... They are made by several cooperatives and the quality and wiring can be very different from each other.

For this malfunction, the only thing that comes to my mind is the missing mass, but I can’t vouch for it.

Autonomy errors 65115

Malfunctions of the KamAZ PGU are indicated by the blinking light on the remote control. The number of flashes indicates the type of error:

Fuel system malfunctions

The main fault codes for the fuel supply module look like this:

Engine errors

The main breakdowns in the operation of the power unit look like this:

Warning lamps

Attention! The number of warning lamps depends on the specific model and configuration of the vehicle.

Table of error codes KamAZ 65115 Euro – 5 with Cummins engine

A truck with a Cummins engine and a 300-liter tank can boast of a modern ECU installed on it - ISB CM2150. Its difference from its predecessors is a more complete set of blink codes, which consist not of two, but of three and four digits.
