When should I come in for Genesis G80 differential service?

Is it possible to reset the G80 malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
