What does EPC mean when displayed on a Volkswagen?

[DeMiles]

When EPC is displayed on a Volkswagen, it indicates a malfunction in the engine's power control management system. Generally, there are two possible causes for this issue: 1. The throttle is dirty and needs cleaning; 2. The brake light is not functioning, requiring inspection of the brake switch and wiring. EPC stands for Electronic Power Control, which is an anti-skid system for vehicles that can control both the driving and driven wheels, incorporating ABS and ASR.
