All models of Volkswagen have advanced engine control units to control the components efficiently. However, all of its components are steered by electric motors and ECU computers. Among the several electric components, the electronic power control (EPC) is a computerized system that can manage the ignition and engine functions. The following slide defines the details of the functions of the EPC light and the way to drive the Volkswagen.
5. Thus, the EPC
system has an EPC
light that can be
illuminated on the
dashboard when it
has any functional
issues.
6. The below points
define the complete
details about the
EPC light and the
way to drive the
Volkswagen.

8. 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
9. Left it untreated for
longer can reduce
the engine power
and affect other
functionality of the
engine.
10. At this point, drive it
to the closest
mechanic to diagnose
the problem and
prevent any damage
from occurring.

12. In general, the EPC
system of the
Volkswagen is
generally controlled
by the:
• Engine control unit
• Steering control unit
• Transmission control
unit
13. A small problem in
any of the
components and
sensors of
Volkswagen is
activating the EPC
light on the
dashboard.
14. 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

16. When the EPC light
comes on, it is ok to
drive the car for a
short span of time.
17. Try to get it to the
closestVW auto
repair center as
soon as possible
because the
problem could
worsen with time.
18. Driving the car with
illuminated EPC
light for longer can
cause further
engine damage.
