$2000 to do your own brakes! F YOU Hyundai!!!

Hyundai's official response

"Hyundai is committed to supporting both our dealer network and independent repair facilities with safe, secure, and accessible service solutions. For vehicles equipped with electronic parking brakes, including the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 5 N, the official repair procedure requires placing the rear calipers in service mode using either our Global Diagnostic System (GDS) or the J2534 application. This ensures proper functionality and customer safety. Hyundai recently expanded access through an update to our J2534 application, enabling aftermarket users to perform functions previously restricted by the GDS secure gateway. While authentication through NASTF is required for sensitive operations, this step helps maintain security and accountability. Our official dealer tool (GDS) is also available for purchase by anyone.

Hyundai is actively exploring ways to make routine maintenance easier for all customers while upholding safety standards.

“We appreciate the interest in DIY repairs and will continue working toward solutions that balance convenience with security.”
