What does the vehicle EPC mean?
1 Answers
Vehicle EPC refers to the Electronic Power Control system of the engine. In the EPC system, the traditional throttle cable is replaced by a sensor in the pedal assembly. The engine control unit calculates the appropriate target throttle opening based on the position data fed back by the pedal assembly sensor and sends a signal to the throttle drive motor to rotate the throttle to this angle. EPC stands for Electronic Power Control system, and many people also call it the electronic throttle. This indicator light is commonly seen in Volkswagen vehicles. After turning the ignition key, the vehicle begins self-checking, and the EPC light will illuminate for a few seconds before turning off.
