EPC ERROR ON DASH
 

Hello, I just bought a 2000 S4 6 speed.... And love it!!!! That being said. Has anyone had the EPC light light up at start up? If so what was fixed? Any information regarding the ELECTRONIC POWER CONTROL will be greatly appreciated... Even better, what does the EPC control?

Thanx, HG

Basically its the light for electronic throttle. There is no cable between the trottle and the gas pedal like on older cars. Just a bunch of wiring. Faults in the system can be accesed in the engine electronics. Many lights are supposed to come on at startup and then go out. As long as it goes away after a few seconds i wouldnt worry about it.

Yeah, It only comes up for a second. So this issue is to be left to the techs and their wonderfull machines.... I appreciate the help thank you.....

typical of new cars, its called a diagnostic test;) when the light stays on I hope you have a big wallet:)
