My Santana recently turned on the EPC light. What's the impact on the car?

The EPC light is on, indicating that the electronic throttle system is faulty, which is not harmful to the vehicle, but may affect the normal use of the vehicle.

The English full name of epc is Electronic Power Control, that is, the electronic power control system (electronic throttle) of the engine, which is often used in Volkswagen series vehicles. The light of Epc indicates that there is a fault in the electronic throttle system, which may affect the normal use of the vehicle.

When the epc indicator light is on, there are the following solutions:
