What causes the EPC warning light to illuminate in a Tiguan while driving?
1 Answers
For the Volkswagen Tiguan, the illumination of the EPC warning light can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Issues with the vehicle's computer system. 2. Possible contamination of the engine's throttle body. 3. Leaks in the intake system, prompting the engine control unit to detect the problem and activate the EPC warning light. 4. A continuously lit EPC warning light indicates a malfunction in the engine management system or electronic control, often accompanied by unstable idling or engine shaking during cold starts. However, for domestic vehicle owners, this is usually caused by the quality of fuel and a dirty driving environment. It is recommended to drive to a service station for inspection as soon as possible. In most cases, cleaning the throttle body can resolve the issue. 5. The EPC indicator light will illuminate during a functional check when the ignition is turned on. If this light comes on while driving, it indicates a fault in the engine's electronic power control system.
