How often will I need Hyundai Elantra differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Elantra can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can my Elantra malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 Elantra's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Elantra.

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Elantra. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Elantra.

Is my Elantra’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Elantra includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Elantra forward.
