Tomfinn94 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi guys. My epc light is coming on after a little while of driving. My brake pedal becomes spongey but still works. Got brake lights which I know is usually the issue. Anyone got an idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joechapl Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I would guess it has an electronic accelerator fault. It may need a new microswitch. EPC stands for Electronic Pedal Control I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcosta13 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 P0226: Code description: Throttle position (TP) sensor C/accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor C - range/performance problem Possible causes: Accelerator cable adjustment, TP/APP sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomfinn94 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I was going to change the ignition leads. Spark plug. Clean the throttle body & egr. Is it worth fitting a new cable? Throttle response is fine until light pops on after about 5 mins of driving hard. Can do over 20 miles fine at half throttle without the light coming on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
