The jerking is caused by sludge in the transmission fluid circulating within the transmission, which blocks the oil passages in the valve body, or faults in components such as spark plugs and ignition coils. Below is a related introduction to EPC light illumination faults: 1. Cause explanation: A constantly illuminated EPC warning light indicates a fault in the engine management system or electronic control, often accompanied by unstable idling or engine cold-start shaking. However, for domestic car owners, this is usually due to 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. 2. Precautions: If the EPC light is on but there are no noticeable symptoms, you can continue driving, but it is still necessary to perform timely maintenance and inspection.

What does it mean when a Mercedes-Benz displays a spring pattern?

The reason a Mercedes-Benz displays a spring pattern is due to a malfunction in the engine power electronic control system. It is necessary to reduce speed immediately and drive to a professional repair facility to have the engine inspected. For driver convenience: The driver controls the accelerator pedal based on the engine's power demand. The accelerator pedal regulates the throttle opening via a cable. In the EPC system, the throttle cable is replaced with a sensor in the pedal assembly. The engine control unit determines the position based on feedback from the pedal assembly sensor. Improved signal transmission: This system is superior to cable-type acceleration control because the electronic throttle calculates and analyzes the input signal from the accelerator pedal position to determine the engine's power demand. The information is then converted into engine torque by various actuators.
