What are the effects when the EDC warning light comes on in a diesel vehicle?
1 Answers
When the EDC warning light comes on in a diesel vehicle, it indicates a fault in the engine's electronic control system. Here are the specific details: 1. Concept explanation: The appearance of EDC (Electric-Diesel-Control) on the car dashboard refers to electronic control of diesel injection, which typically indicates an engine fault. If the vehicle can still start, there may not be a major issue. 2. Troubleshooting: The illuminated engine warning light does not cause significant harm to the engine but may lead to increased fuel consumption. The problem is usually related to the engine's high-voltage circuit, fuel injector components, or oxygen sensor circuit. First, check if the high-voltage wires or spark plugs have been affected by water from washing or rain, or if they have become loose. The EDC letters indicate an engine circuit fault, which is often caused by starter maintenance issues.
