How often should I come in for Acura ILX differential service?

Is it possible to reset the ILX malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your ILX's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.
