Up until yesterday the EPC light in the instrument cluster would randomly come on. Pressing the button would not turn it off, the car had to be shut off, then restart. I had the light coming on occassionly but never "felt" anything. Whlie drivng yesterday I felt kind of a jerking sensation once or twice I looked at the dash and noticed the EPC light flashing. It seemd that the EPC was trying to engage, it was a bit un-nerving. The road was dry just driving straight/normal. Any feedback advice greatly appreciated.

TIA - Scott

My guess is a bad or dirty wheel speed sensor.

I think the brake light switch could also cause this

Could also be a throttle body, pt throttle pedal sensor. Also common issues that throw that light.
