what causes the epc light to go on 2006 vw beetle
An EPC warning light in a VW indicates a problem in the powertrain control system. This can be one of 17 faults, including lack of messaging between the powertrain and various systems. It can also indicate a performance control problems, or a malfunction of the EPC.
My epc light came on because of battery failure. My battery was acting funny and barely starting the car. I went to autozone and had them check my battery which ended up having a bad cell. I replaced the battery and the car easily started up. After the car started the light never came back on.

EPC means Electronic Power Control (aka; Drive by wire) it means there is no throttle cable, it's all electronic. It can be illuminated by any error that has to do with this system. Use an OBD II tool or VAG-COM cable to check the error codes. If you must, you can go to the dealership :(
The crankshaft positon sensor is wrong. I replaced it on my 2001 A4 fixed the problem.
The EPC (Electronic Pedal Control) is the "fly by wire" system that controls the throttle, it took the place of the cable that went from the gas pedal to the throttle body on VW. If this light is on and there is also a P0102, MAF (Mass Air Flow) related code stored in the vehicle's computer, the EPC may be caused indirectly from a faulty MAF. If the EPC is on and there is no other codes stored, it could be a faulty electronic throttle body or need to be re-programmed. The vehicle's computer must recognoze the throttle body so when replacing it with new or used it will need to be programmed at the dealer. Recently I replaced a MAF (a common problem on VW's) on a VW Golf and when I cleared the code the EPC went off as well.
EPC means: Electronic POWER Control. Computer on board that runs everything including engine management. Get to a VW repair shop before the car quits running all together. It will run in backup mode and will run terrible before it finally shuts everything down. Don't ignore this warning light EPC in VW's.
