Electronic Power Control (EPC) Warning Lamp in instrument cluster, meaning

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volkswagen GTI, 2005 Volkswagen Jetta, 2005 Volkswagen GTI, 2004 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2004 Volkswagen GTI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

"EPC" is an abbreviation and stands for Electronic Power Control, also known as electronic performance regulation (EPC).

After switching on ignition, ECM checks function of all components used by EPC system.

If malfunctions are detected in the EPC system during engine operation, the ECM switches on the EPC warning lamp. (These DTCs are identified in the DTC tables). The malfunction is stored in DTC memory of ECM at the same time.
