Why Is My
Volkswagen
Shaking And EPC
Light On?

If your Volkswagen
shaking and its EPC light
is glowing, don't ignore
it.

Here we will discuss why
ignoring the EPC light
can land you in trouble.

You will also get to know
the reason why this
warning light may
appear.

But first, let’s discuss
what EPC light means in
a Volkswagen.

EPC stands for Electronic
Power Control system.

It is a very advanced computerized
mechanism, that monitors and
regulates:-
Different aspects of engine operation
(including ignition).
Functioning of the traction and cruise
control system.

And, if necessary, the
EPC can activate the
“Limp Mode”.

For those who don't
know, it is something
that regulates airflow to
the engine.

Besides, it also helps the
driver to set up cruise
control.

If cruise control goes bad
due to a faulty throttle
body, the EPC light will
come on.

ECU and EPC- Both use
engine speed data to
manage engine
operation.

That's why a problem
with this sensor can
trigger the EPC light in
your Volkswagen.

MAF sensor measures
the amount of air
entering the engine.

So obviously.. if it goes
bad, both the check
engine as well as the
EPC light will flash.

EPC light of your Volkswagen can also
come on due to any of the following
reasons:-
Flaws with the traction control
system
Problems with the cruise control
system.

Just like a check engine
light, the EPC light is a
crucial warning indicator.
