The car won't catch fire, yellow EPC shows?

EPC is the abbreviation of electronic power control, which is called engine electronic stability system in Chinese, also called electronic throttle. The car won't catch fire, and the EPC indicator light is on, which is generally a system failure.

Epc indicator light is very common among the public. Generally, when the key door is opened, the vehicle will conduct a self-test. EPC will be on at this time, but it will be off afterwards. If the vehicle does not go out after starting, it means that the mechanical and electronic systems of the vehicle have failed and need to be dealt with in time, otherwise it will affect the normal driving.

When the EPC indicator light is on, in 95% cases, the throttle valve is dirty and needs to be cleaned; But it is also possible that the brake light is not on, so it is necessary to check the brake switch and wiring. In rare cases, it will light up because of gasoline quality problems, which is the cause of personal refueling errors.
