Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to reset the EPC light on the Volkswagen Polo?

The EPC light signals a warning from the Electronic Power Control system, which manages the ignition and power supply of the engine. Generally this warning light comes on on the Volkswagen Polo instrument panel when there are problems related to the throttle body sensor: therefore, by opening the hood and accessing the right side of the engine block, it will be possible to disconnect the old sensor, clean it and connect it again. Only in some cases will it be necessary to completely replace the sensor; once this has been cleaned or replaced, it will be possible to see that the EPC light will be off.
