What To Do If Your Volkswagen Is Shaking And Its EPC Light Is On?
You’re driving along and all of a sudden your VW's EPC light comes on.
What should you do in such a situation?
Should you keep driving or should you call your mechanic?
As you go through this presentation, you will get answers to all your questions.
EPC Light - What Exactly Does This Light Mean?
The light simply means:- “Hey, go check your throttle system.”
The throttle system is something that essentially regulates airflow to the engine.
Failure of such a vital part can strangulate the engine.
So, upkeep of the throttle system is essential for smooth engine operation.
Here’s Why Your Volkswagen’s EPC Light May Come On
Throttle system- It’s likely faulty
A faulty throttle system is the primary reason for EPC light illumination in a car.
That’s why this is the first thing that should be tested.
Cruise control- It’s probably problematic
The cruise control system, when activated, can control the speed of a vehicle.
And, guess what… a faulty cruise control may affect the throttle system.
Onboard diagnostics may activate the EPC light in response to this.
Brake light switch- It’s likely bad
Another reason for EPC light illumination in a car is a bad brake light switch.
To fix the issue, you have to repair the defective switch.
Flaws with the ECU
A faulty ECU can also turn on the EPC light in a car.
Also, it can activate the check engine light and other error indicators.
End Note
A flashing EPC light is not one of those things that should be ignored.
You should be very cautious about such warning lights.
