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.
