So everything

The EPC light is turning on when driving past certain areas. It is not distance related as I have verified this, it is not a pattern of running time or distance. The light will be off until we drive past a 1/4 mile length of road in Carmel Valley, and at other trigger points in the Monterey County area. As that is where we routinely drive and experience the EPC light turning on. I am thinking it may be triggered by an radio signal or microwave signal or some frequency on a carrier that has enough amplitude to interfere with the electronic modules or sensors. We (my Wife and I) never find an OBDII code fault before, during or after the EPC light is triggered. It now comes on at every start up but the off when immediately restarting the engine. I thought my wife was being ridiculous when she told me that it always turns on when she drives through the area described above, but sure enough it turned on each time in the area. I thought maybe related to the uphill and downhill climbs and or engine temperature prior to the level stretch of road where it triggers, but if not driving past that area but still after the hills it does not trigger, and it regularly triggers other locations that have only small inclines as this county is in hilly terrain most of which is minor. Bizarre. Frustrating! I have just finally figured out how to access the Brake Pedal Switch which required removing all the overlapping trims of the center console, and instr. cluster, several fasteners, media center trims to help prevent breaking the cover that hides the brake pedal switch. Frustrating! I did not see the switch however!!! And had to take a cool down break!

It can be your throttle body from having a lot of sludge on the back and needs replaced! These engines tend to sludge up! I recommend an oil/water separator! After de sludging the whole engine it solved my problem!

The 2017 VW Golf Sportwagen SE TSI EPC light can go on without any OBDII fault code existing. So good luck with the troubleshooting, and good thing we have an OBDII system that VW chose not to include for all EPC triggered faults!

Have a question my 2013 Volkswagen tiguan turns over but want crank epc light

Replace air filter. Worked for me.

Nice Production

This just happened to my kids car. It was the turbo actuator. The end of the arm broke off, had it welded and everything is good now

My Touareg showed the EPC light and after parking the vehicle failed to start the following morning. When trying to crank the engine it seems there is no compression! Does it mean the engine fuckd up?

In short, anything but the tire repair kit

Thank you

Fuel rail sen connector are common aswell always check the connector

Is it a timing change belt. Answer please

Just dropped my wife's POS Jetta off at the shop. They looked at it all day and still can't figure it out. He told me to drive it off a cliff and buy a Toyota😂.

My 2012 vw polo 1.6 cls occassionally missfire and backfire, engine vibration,loss of power and struggle acceleration. I changed MAF sensor, throttlebody, petrol pump, fuel filter, fuel breather valve but the problem is not solved. What could be going wrong?

Just had this happen to me about to find out what it is.

Camshaft sensor

OK.

Starter or your timing belt broke

Bought a GTE literally the 16th May and its saying EPC on the dash.

My first & last VW! I will never own another one again! Too many weird electronic faults. 2019 Jetta GLI 35th anniversary 😡

mine came on and went away

Ecu - Engine Control Module that's the issue $1000 for used part and $2000 for new one
