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.
