Electronic Power Control (EPC)

Terms like EPC, electronic accelerator, accelerator module and electric throttle operation all refer to a regulating system. It includes in one component, among other things, senders -G79- and -G185- and a throttle valve positioner.

Because EPC is always a component of engine control, it communicates initially with the engine control module. But because, for example, the signal for the kickdown switch is also generated in the EPC, the engine control module sends the data into the data bus, in order that other control modules have access to it.
