How often should I come in for Hyundai Elantra differential service?

Can my Elantra malfunction warning light be reset at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Elantra, but it's important to resist the urge.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2000 Hyundai Elantra

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Elantra's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Hyundai, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Elantra’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2000 Hyundai Elantra to maintain its performance power. Follow Hyundai's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
