When should I come in for Dodge Dart differential service?

Can my Dart malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Dart?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Dart’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Dart forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
