What does EPC mean when it appears on the car dashboard?
1 Answers
When the EPC light appears on the car dashboard, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's mechanical and electronic systems. There are two common causes: first, a dirty throttle body that requires cleaning; second, non-functioning brake lights that need inspection of the brake switch and wiring. The EPC indicator usually lights up when the ignition is turned on for a functional check. If this light comes on while driving, it means there's a fault in the engine's electronic power control system, and the engine must be checked immediately. Besides these situations, other possible causes of EPC faults include a dirty throttle valve, vacuum leaks in the intake system, a faulty brake switch, or delayed engine upgrades.
