Is It Safe To Drive Your
in Marlborough?
Now modern cars
likeVolkswagen
have an advanced
ECU to control all
the components
efficiently.
Moreover, all
components are
steered by the
electric motors and
ECU computers in
your car.
Among the electric
components, the
electronic power
control (EPC)
system can manage
the ignition and
engine functions.
Thus, the EPC
system has an EPC
light that can be
illuminated on the
dashboard when it
has any functional
issues.
The below points
define the complete
details about the
EPC light and the
way to drive the
Volkswagen.
When the EPC light
of your car is
illuminated, it
simply indicates
problems in several
parts such as:
• Accelerator pedal
• Traction control
• Throttle body
• Cruise control
• Power steering
Left it untreated for
longer can reduce
the engine power
and affect other
functionality of the
engine.
At this point, drive it
to the closest
mechanic to diagnose
the problem and
prevent any damage
from occurring.
In general, the EPC
system of the
Volkswagen is
generally controlled
by the:
• Engine control unit
• Steering control unit
• Transmission control
unit
A small problem in
any of the
components and
sensors of
Volkswagen is
activating the EPC
light on the
dashboard.
The below points
define the reasons
behind the EPC light
being triggered on the
dashboard of a car:
• A small problem within the
emission system and fuel
system
• A problem within the
throttle body components
• Malfunctioned brake light
switch
• Issues with the cruise
control of the car
• Problems within the
stability control system
When the EPC light
comes on, it is ok to
drive the car for a
short span of time.
Try to get it to the
closestVW auto
repair center as
soon as possible
because the
problem could
worsen with time.
Driving the car with
illuminated EPC
light for longer can
cause further
engine damage.
Thus, the
illuminated EPC
light can also cause
your car to go into
limp mode by
limiting the throttle
and power.
All models of
Volkswagen have a
well-functional EPC
system for
managing the
ignition and engine
systems.
If the EPC light
comes on, then the
best thing is to take
it to a reputed
mechanic for
diagnosis and
repair.
