Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 3, 2014, 6:37 PM Post #4 of 4 (2313 views) Re: vw passat EPClight on Sign In No, but you may need a high end scan tool to get on the manufacture's side of the PCM to see what code(s) is being stored. Try scanning the OBD2 side and see what comes up. The EPC is for the electronic throttle control system. It has some sort of problem and causing your symptoms. The code(s) may help give some direction.
