What does the EDC warning light mean?

[OSawyer]

edc warning light indicates a fault in the engine's electronic control system, prompting the owner to have it checked and repaired at a service center as soon as possible. EDC stands for Electric-Diesel-Control, which refers to the electronic control system for diesel injection. Its function is to electronically control the fuel injection system, enabling real-time control of fuel injection quantity and timing based on operating conditions. Below are specific scenarios when the EDC warning light illuminates: 1. The engine can start and run normally: This poses minimal harm to the engine and may be caused by damage to the high-voltage circuit, fuel injectors, or oxygen sensor, leading to increased fuel consumption. Typically, this indicates issues with the engine's high-voltage circuit, fuel injectors, or oxygen sensor circuit. First, check for water ingress or disconnection in components like high-voltage wires and spark plugs. 2. The engine fails to start normally: It is necessary to have the high-voltage wires, spark plugs, etc., inspected at a service center for faults. If the engine operates normally when starting the vehicle, it suggests minor damage to the battery or engine, and the issue may lie in the fuel or intake system. Check for excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body, whether the fuel pump is functioning correctly, or if the fuel filter is clogged.
