The commonly-failing unit in question is the Mobis MEB3-E, which has become a huge issue for first-generation i20 owners. You’ll also find the MEB3-E fitted to, and causing similar problems for a wide range of Hyundai and Kia models. These include the 2011-2018 Hyundai i30, 2014-2016 Kia Venga and the second-generation Kia Picanto (2011-2017). Find a complete list of affected models lower down, or browse our product catalogue.

Unfortunately, the MEB3-E is known to experience various internal failures. In some cases, you’ll experience the Hyundai i20’s brakes sticking. In other cases, the vehicle’s ABS light will illuminate and a C2402 DTC will store – this is a key indicator the i20’s ABS module is in need of repair.

Thankfully, we’re the experts at restoring lasting functionality to these ABS units through remanufacturing. If you believe your i20’s ABS module is defective, send it to us for testing and we’ll let you know if it can be rebuilt. You can begin the process today by filling in our short test form.

Hyundai i20 ABS fault explained
As you might know, the ABS unit is made up of three key components: the pump motor, the hydraulic block and the control module. Unfortunately, the MEB3-E is susceptible to failure in multiple areas.

Most commonly, a design flaw in the MEB3-E prevents it from regulating hydraulic braking pressure correctly. Inevitably, this causes unwanted pressure to remain trapped in one or more brake lines, delaying the release of the affected calliper. When this problem materialises, the Hyundai i20 experiences noticeably sticking braking.

When the MEB3-E’s control module fails, it causes the i20’s ABS warning light to illuminate – this is an immediate indicator that a repair might be necessary. In this scenario, it can’t be guaranteed that the ABS will operate correctly in an emergency, so it’s important to investigate this further. 

If your diagnostic scan tool subsequently uncovers a C2402 DTC for ‘pump motor electrical fault’, this is a key indicator that your i20’s ABS module is defective and in need of repair. 

Even if C2402 isn’t stored in your module, you can still send it in to us for testing. We’ll let you know reliably whether your Hyundai’s ABS unit is the root cause of your brakes sticking or ABS warning light. This way, you can diagnose your i20’s braking problem with complete confidence.

How to resolve Hyundai i20 brakes sticking
Once owners have diagnosed their i20’s sticking brakes as a symptom of a defective ABS unit, many choose to replace it with a brand-new one from Hyundai. While this can restore functionality temporarily, it’s rarely a reliable long-term solution. 

This is because many of these i20 ABS pump and modules are left in need of a repair due to internal component degradation or fault-inducing design flaws. As you can imagine, these defects often remain present in brand-new replacements, leading to exactly the same issues later down the line.

Instead, we propose having your Hyundai i20’s ABS unit comprehensively remanufactured to resolve sticking brakes and ABS warning lights for good. 

Our state-of-the-art testing rigs replicate realistic operating conditions, which allows us to observe the true cause of your i20’s braking problems. Once we’ve pinpointed the root cause of unit failure, our team of technicians will begin the remanufacturing process.

We utilise some of the very latest remanufacturing equipment and we even rebuild with higher-than-OEM-standard components. Better still, you won’t need to recode the unit back to the vehicle afterwards and we’ll cover you with an unlimited-mileage lifetime warranty – much longer than most i20 ABS module repair services.
