Seeing the EPC light illuminated in yellow on the Magotan's dashboard, I've encountered this situation myself. It usually indicates an issue with the electronic power control. The most common causes are a dirty or faulty throttle body, or sensors like the throttle position sensor not detecting the correct signal. It could also be a wiring issue or the engine control unit sending incorrect commands. At the time, I noticed reduced power when pressing the accelerator, which means the car entered limp mode to protect itself. First, try turning the car off and restarting to see if the light goes away, but it will likely stay on. Don't take it lightly, as it affects acceleration and safe driving. I recommend driving to a 4S shop immediately to read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool and confirm the issue. Regularly replacing the air filter and cleaning the throttle body can help prevent this problem.
That time when the EPC light in my Magotan turned yellow really freaked me out, because this light indicates a fault in the power control system. Possible causes include a malfunctioning pedal sensor or a clogged throttle, and it's common to experience sluggish response when pressing the accelerator. I remember once when the light came on while driving on the highway, the car lost power and it was extremely dangerous. Never attempt to fix it yourself blindly; first, take it to the shop to check for blown fuses or short circuits in the wiring. Safety comes first—address the issue promptly to avoid breaking down midway and disrupting your trip.
The EPC yellow light on the Magotan indicates an electronic system warning about a power issue. I suspect the main causes might be a sensor malfunction or throttle problem, leading to poor throttle response. Pay attention to the throttle response; if it feels jerky, slow down and find a safe place to stop. Contact a professional repair shop for diagnosis.
