"Engineering, Procurement, and Construction" (EPC) is a particular form of contracting arrangement used in some industries where the EPC Contractor is made responsible for all the activities from design, procurement, construction, to commissioning and handover of the project to the End-User or Owner. In case of cars: The EPC indicator is a standard in Volkswagen and Audi models. These vehicles have drive-by-wire systems that are computer-controlled. When a fault exists with the throttle pedal, throttle body, traction control and cruise control, the EPC warning light illuminates. In many instances, the vehicle's throttle may be limited when this light is illuminated in order to protect the engine. Often, there is just enough power enough to get the vehicle to a service facility for repairs. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

95 times out of 100 the cause will be a faulty or broken lock actuator. Very common issue across a range of cars and the fix is to replace the actuator.

imp mode is activated by the ECM when certain sensors are out of set parameters . The sensors concerned cover both the engine and transmission and are set to protect both the engine and transmission. To get an idea of the cost you will first have to run the fault codes to find the fault and then get quotes to fix. It could be a simple wiring problem to complex repair/replacement effort.

Take it to auto zone and have the code's reader hooked up on it and that can tell you the problem

check with your dealer to see if it its still under warrenty they should fix any problem for free.

i believe the cable snapped. check to determine if the cable is attatched to the handle. if the cable has snapped there , use pliers to pull the cable. if its broken further up the line, you'll have to get under the front and try to release the latch. you may also be able to access the latch from the grill
