My car is running normally as well. Mine has been deflaped and was carbon cleaned 800 miles ago. I took the car back to the alarm engineer, he has reset the fault. it was something to do with me leaving the keys in the ignition and walking away from the car with the ADR card in my wallet (The ADR is the gadget you need to start the car with) Looks like the security system needs tweaking.

Hi all,

Also had the EPC light come on last night, after not having driven the car for a couple of weeks. Car was running fine and the light went off after a couple of miles. Could it be due to low battery after not moving for so long?
