EAC FAIL on dash and loss of power - Cars & Trucks

SOURCE: EAC FAIL keeps coming on

EAC stands for electronic accelerator control. The problem is related to the accelerator pedal and fly-by-wire system.

Cures varied from a simple ECU update to a ECU replacement, depending what combination of fault codes you have stored.

I would take it back to the dealer and ask them to download the codes your car will have stored to see what the specific problem is.

the best thing to do at this point is to have the diagnostic trouble codes read that may be stored in the memory of the on board computer, it is called the OBD 2 (on board diagnostics generation two) electronic engine control system.

Testimonial: "Thanks"

My car has been doing this for a few months, paid £80 to get accelerator pedal changed, this didnt help, EAC fail back few days later, am now having throttle body changed and have just found out that on board computer is US, so its going to cost me £1100 !!!!! Deep joy.......
