What does EPC on the dashboard mean?
1 Answers
EPC on the dashboard stands for Electronic Power Control, and the illuminated indicator indicates issues with the engine or electronic systems. Reasons for the EPC light to come on: 1. The electronic throttle is dirty or has excessive carbon buildup; 2. The fuel used does not meet the required standards; 3. Malfunction in the vehicle's computer system; 4. Insufficient battery power; 5. Occasional issues or false alarms by the vehicle. The working principle of EPC is that the car's engine detects faults through the control unit monitoring the electronic throttle system, sending commands to ABS and ASR to enhance vehicle handling while preventing loss of control caused by reaching dynamic limits.
