The reason why the JAC Shuailing EPC light is on and the car cannot run is either a system failure or running out of fuel. Refueling in the city: Refueling is relatively convenient, as gas stations are no more than 30 kilometers away. It's best to refuel when the fuel gauge light comes on. Although there is no unified standard for when this light turns on, there is a general range. Typically, it is around 7-10 liters. For example, the Volkswagen Passat is about 9 liters, the Honda Accord is 10.3 liters, and the Civic is 7.5 liters. If the fuel level is below this amount, the fuel gauge light will illuminate. Low fuel level: When the fuel level is only 1-2 liters, it can affect fuel supply. This is because when the vehicle is moving, vibrations or tilting can cause the fuel to slosh around, which poses a certain risk.
Speaking of the JAC Shuailing EPC light coming on and the vehicle losing power, I've driven this model and encountered similar issues, usually caused by electronic power control problems. Common reasons include severely dirty throttle bodies clogging the intake passage, leading to sluggish throttle response; faulty throttle pedal sensors sending incorrect signals, causing the ECU to mistakenly limit power output; or aging and short-circuited wiring affecting current transmission. If not addressed promptly, the vehicle will continue to suffer from poor acceleration, posing high safety risks. I remember last time cleaning the throttle body cost less than 300 yuan to fix, but delaying repairs might damage the spark plugs and increase repair costs. It's recommended to stop the engine and wait a while before trying again; if the issue persists, head to a repair shop promptly for diagnosis to avoid pushing the vehicle on steep slopes or highways. Fellow drivers suggest regular maintenance as a preventive measure—cleaning the air filter yourself once a month is sufficient.
