If the EPB light remains lit, even when the parking brake is released, it indicates a fault. On the Hyundai Elantra, EPB stands for Electronic Parking Brake and should illuminate for around 3 seconds when the ignition is switched on, or when the electronic parking brake is applied. EBD improves the vehicle’s braking ability by distributing varying braking force to individual wheels. If the ABS + brake warning lights come on simultaneously, it’s an indication that the vehicle’s Electronic Brake Forceĭistribution (EBD) has failed. In the event of a malfunctioning ABS, the vehicle’s brakes will continue to work as normal. The Hyundai Elantra is equipped with ABS and if the warning light remains constantly lit, or comes on while driving, it’s an indication that the ABS has a malfunction.ĪBS problems are usually down to a damaged wheel speed sensor. This is called ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). Use only DOT4 brake/clutch fluid from a sealed container.Īlmost all modern vehicles come equipped with a system that prevents the wheels from locking during heavy braking. In this situation, safely stop the vehicle and check brake fluid levels along with any leaks in the brake system. If the brake warning light remains lit when the parking brake is released, it means the brake fluid level is low. The brake light also remains lit if the parking brake is on. The Hyundai Elantra brake warning light illuminates for around 3 seconds when the ignition is switched to on. A capable scanner that can read airbag fault codes should help to isolate the problem. Reasons vary from a connector being dislodged, malfunctioning controller or an airbag impact sensor being damaged in the front or rear bumpers, or a worn, damaged clock spring.

The Hyundai Elantra airbag warning light remains lit to warn that the airbag supplemental restraint system is not functioning. After all checks have completed, the light should go off. Under normal conditions, the airbag warning light remains on for around 6 seconds when the ignition is set to on. The following warning light apply to both hybrid and non-hybrid versions of the Hyundai Elantra. Hybrid and Non-hybrid Versions of the Elantra Have your vehicle checked by a Hyundai workshop immediately. In this instance, your braking distance may increase. The red brake warning light may also illuminate simultaneously. It means that the regenerative brake does not operate properly and the brake system does not perform as it should. The yellow brake warning light applies to the Hyundai Elantra hybrid and comes on when a problem has been detected with the regenerative brake system. When the ignition is set to the ‘on’ position, the HEV warning light should go off after 3 seconds, when all hybrid system check have been completed and passed. On the Hyundai Elantra hybrid, ‘HEV’ stands for hybrid electric vehicle and if the HEV warning light with exclamation point remains lit, or comes on while driving, it means there is a problem with the hybrid vehicle control system or hardware and the vehicle needs diagnostics. If the EV light is off, it means the vehicle is being driven by the gasoline engine. The Hyundai Elantra hybrid EV mode indicator light comes on when the vehicle is being driven purely by the electric motor, or that the gasoline engine has stopped. If the ready indicator flashes, it means emergency driving only is possible. If the ready indicator light does not come on, it means normal driving is not possible or that a fault has occurred. The Hyundai Elantra hybrid green ready light illuminates when the hybrid system has passed checks and the vehicle is ready to be driven. When the power level is near low (L), the engine is automatically operated to charge the battery. Remaining charge: The illuminated LED’s in this section display the remaining hybrid battery power.Power: When the needle goes into this section, it means the vehicle is exceeding the eco-friendly range and is using high levels of energy / fuel.ECO: This section of the gauge indicates that the vehicle is being driven in an eco-friendly manner.Charge: If the needle is within this section of the gauge, it means that the vehicle is regenerating energy and charging the battery.The power gauge (1 to 3) indicate if whether vehicle is being driven in a energy efficient manner.
