Electronic Power Control (EPC) warning
lamp -K132- in instrument cluster,
significance
"EPC" is an abbreviation and stands for
Electronic Power Control (E-gas).
Installation location of EPC warning lamp
Engine Control Module (ECM) checks all components that are important
for function of the E-Gas system after ignition is switched on.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) switches on the EPC warning lamp
after ignition is switched on. Shortly after engine is started, the EPC
warning lamp will go out. This requires, first of all, that the Engine Control
Module (ECM) does not detect a malfunction in the E-gas system and,
secondly, that activation of the lamp by the Engine Control Module (ECM)
is OK.
If malfunctions are recognized in the E-Gas system during operation of
the engine, the ECM switches on the EPC warning lamp in instrument
cluster. (These malfunctions are listed in the DTC table). An entry is made
in DTC memory at the same time.
