Electric power steering for VAZ-2114 is installedonly owners, none of the cars were equipped with such devices from the factory. But to increase comfort and improve management, motorists install electric amplifiers from the "Priora" or "Kalina".
During installation, smalldifficulties. But it will be much more difficult to pass the inspection. In fact, you interfere with the steering design, which is strictly prohibited by the rules of the road. The driver has no right to make any changes to the steering, or to the brakes.
What is necessary for installation
You will need to purchase directlyelectric power steering for VAZ-2114, reviews of various manufacturers of these devices have only positive users. And the cost of these devices is from 15,000 to 25,000 rubles. Also, the following elements must necessarily be included in the kit:
- Plate for the installation of the electric drive. With its help an adapter is made between the brackets of the electric power steering and the standard one.
- Cardan to combine the steering rack of your car and the electric power shaft.
- Electrical wiring kit for installing the device.
If you buy this device in the store,then you need to check with the bundle. If there are no items in the box, then it is better not to buy the device, since installation may cause problems.
Why not a hydraulic amplifier?
At the electric amplifier of a wheel on VAZ-2114,the installation description of which will be given below, there are a number of advantages when compared with hydraulic devices. The hydraulic booster needs a pump that creates pressure to operate the rudder. And this is superfluous elements in the design.
The state of the pump must be constantlyWatch out, there may be leaks in it, which will lead to the failure of the power steering. The electric device is much simpler, its resource is very high, it is undemanding in maintenance, which will be very useful for lazy drivers. And most importantly - the cost of an electrical amplifier is almost half that. And when operating a car, there is no cost to it at all.
Dismantling of a steering
Before mounting the electric booster of a rudder on VAZ-2114, photo of which is given in the article, it is necessary to perform several preparatory actions:
- Remove the steering wheel and the casing with which the column is covered.
- Remove the steering wheel switches.
- Disconnect the emergency button and disconnect the chip from the ignition switch.
- Completely disassemble the steering column.
It is advisable to have at handinstruction manual, everything in it is clearly legible. After dismantling the steering column directly, you need to unscrew the studs and screws. Screws, in which the heads are of a disruptive type, need to be unscrewed with a chisel.
The work is very tedious and boring, but you will complete itpretty quickly. After unscrewing the top bolt of fastening кардана to a column completely release the mechanism. After that, dismantle the steering column and remove the cardan, having unscrewed the bolt on the lower mount. It is possible that the clamp, which is located in the lower part of the cardan, will need to be unclamped using a chisel.
Install the device
After dismantling all the steering elementsit is necessary to install the plate. Before this, you saw with the help of a bolgar the upper studs and install the electric power steering case, the cardan and the plate, all these elements are included.
Power steering for VAZ-2114 (descriptiondetailed in the operating instructions) can be installed in just a few minutes. Much longer you will be dismantling all the elements. At installation the standard cardan on that which is in the complete set necessarily changes. To collect a steering column yet do not hasten, in fact it is necessary to make still connection of the device to an onboard network of the car.
Electrical connection
The electric power steering control unit takes the signal from the speed and speed sensors of the crankshaft. Connection to the vehicle electrical systems is performed as follows:
- Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
- Locate the backup sockets in the fuse box.Through them you need to make connections to the device. Find the backup wire in the harness, connect the power to the electric power steering unit.
- If there is no possibility to use backup sockets, then it is necessary to energize the electric amplifier through the fuse. So that the electric drive does not work when the ignition is switched off.
- Minus power wire must be connected to the body of the car.
At this connection of the power unit can be considered complete. The connection of the controls is as follows:
- The speed sensor must be connected to the right chip.
- The wire coming from the tachometer must be connected to the left-hand piece.
- Set both chips on the electric power steering.
This completes the connection.Self-powered electric power steering for VAZ-2114 can be without any problems. But it's best to do everything on STO, so that the master will give you a document confirming the correct installation of the equipment. Only in this case you will get rid of the problems when passing the maintenance.
Functional Testing
After you have connected all the elementssystem, you need to install the steering wheel and check the operation of the mechanism. In the event that the work suits you, then you need to collect all the elements in the reverse order. After this, start the engine and try to rotate the steering wheel at a low speed.
In this case, the electric drive mustWork, helping you turn the wheels in the right direction. Then you need to disperse the car. At high speed, the electric power steering on the VAZ-2114 should not work. Otherwise, you are most likely mistaken when connecting wires coming from the sensors.
