EPC Sign On 2001 Audi A4 Instrument Panel / Epc On Dash Board (2) (3) (4)
Epc Light by oyoman(m): 4:21pm On Jan 22, 2015 |
Hi everyone, Can someone educate me on the meaning of "EPC" light on the dash board and what could have gone wrong before the light comes on. Thank you |

EPC actually stands for Electronic Power Control, damages on the throttle pedal, throttle body, traction control, a stuck brake light and cruise control, triggers the light. Replacing your brake light switch would solve the problem, if this doesn't work would suggest you run a comprehensive scan on the engine controller. |

AutosBay: Hmm... ...brake light switch and engine controller You did not even ask what car the OP drives. Whenever the MIL (malfunction indicator light) goes on, there is a code waiting for you to down load. There can be many reasons for the light, and only by scanning the car could anyone ever know what it really is. An EPC (electronic powertrain control) warning light in a VW indicates a problem in the powertrain control system. This can be one of 17 faults, including lack of communication between the powertrain and many systems, such as the fuel injector or air conditioning unit. It can also indicate performance control problems, defects and malfunctions of the EPC. To find which of the 17 problems a VW is experiencing when it displays the EPC code, an OBD II Scanner needs to be plugged in and used to read the exact problem. Pls note that a DIY OBD-II scanner might not pick up some of the codes. To get good scan results, use a professional scan tool. |
