I just had this same problem with my 01 Beetle, EPC light and No throttle. Pulled the codes and the first one was bank 1, sensor 2, O2 heater short and everything else it caused from them. Replaced the O2 sensors and put in another ECU and all is good.

Did you have to have the ecu programmed for you car?

Man you saved the day, thank you👍🏾

You saved the day bro thanks

bro I love your videos

I had this same issue but found a temporary solution. When this happens your ECU sends 5 volts to the 2 ground wires going to your pedal. I found that if you bypass the ecu’s signal and ground the 2 ground pins on the pedal the EPC light will shut off and the car will be drivable. That being said I’m not sure if this causes any other damaged so do this at your own discretion to get you home without a tow.

I have a jetta 1.8t (Audi TT engine) 2001 Wolfsburg. My epc slams and jerks on my engine when its about to flash the epc light on. No engine codes anymore after replacing o2 sensor 1 but still epc is coming on! What do i do. Will make sure my new o2 sensor isnt hanging now😅

Curious, What is the code that was popping up?

it's happening some similar failure on my 2007 VW Lupo (it came out a bank 2 sensor throttle body implausible signal and a brake switch implausible signal ), in a previus failure code (epc), i saw a coolant relative code (i din´t save it),

Your accent is the best. 👌👌😂

Thanks a lot for the info bro.

Hola cómo estás tengo una pregunta le puse otra ecu con el immo delate pero causando puse la computando y ensendi el coche los rpm suben y bajan y le Piso el pedan la la has de repente suben o acelera pero no con muchas fuersa tu cres q le tenga q cambiar el throttle body q benia con la computadora q le quite el immo

does it work for mk5 gti? i got G188 error code Angle Sensor 2 for Throttle

I have ko4 turbo set up and 3inch exhiast etc I have same problem but it’s only when I try boosting it while driving epic comes on when it spins them there no throttle I turn it off and back on it’s fine untill i boost again can anyone help????

I have an 02 Jetta, the EapC and check engine light is on, it cranks, strata for 2 seconds and dies,no matter how much gas you give it, it will not run, changed ($300) fuel pump and filter, same thing is going on. This could be the problem, thx

also if it happens sometime after you install a boost gauge check the vac line connected to it; it can cause your epc to come on as well

Come on or will it fry your ecu?

I've replaced the accelerator Pedal? I have a 2002 2.8l GLI I replaced the pedal because it was throwing codes p2138, G79/G185, p1639 but after driving epc light ABS and Trac light come on again.. I'm lost any input would be helpful 18047 - Accelerator Position Sensor 1/2 (G79/G185): Implausible Signal yeah I'm at a loss.. the only codes it threw were the ones listed above. If it had something to do with the TB itself I would think different codes would come up? The scan was done on a Solus Ultra (snap-on) also cleaned the TB (alot of carbon build up) and clean Mass Air flow sensor. But adapted TB Also Replaced the brake tailight switch just to be sure. Still same thing. Also when I release the brake pedal I hear a hissing sound but my pedal doesn't seem hard nor does it make noise while driving just when i let off the pedal? Does this mean brake booster or master cylinder bad?? Guess it sounds like i need a ECU. I have 1/2 throttle though it only comes on in a middle of me drive and limits my power to half

Did u ever fix this

Bought an 03 passat. The kid I got it from was jumping it said it had a bad battery and also needs an exaughst from the flex pipe back. So I drove it home got new battery still had to jump it gave up for the day pluged it in to see what codes came up bunch since the exaughst isnt on and also said bad starter. Got a starter the next day from a friend I went to try and start it first and epc light now was on too. At this point im pissed but replaced the starter figured it would go out. Nope after replacing that still won't start and the epc light is still on and it still won't even start.. So would this cause it to not start?

I did the same for a while, but there were times moving from a stop I would lose acceleration quicky, epc pops on and car would die. Not safe in traffic. Fix, so far at least, was a new throttle body (it was very hesitant until engine warmed - not sure if it caused the stalling.). The main fix was replacing the MAF. That has always been the main cause for the EPC light going on. Since installing, no issues. It's a 5 minute job you can do yourself and it saved me $400 compared to what the mechanic wanted for the job.
