How often will I need Hyundai Veloster differential service?

Can you reset your Veloster’s malfunction warning light 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 Veloster?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Veloster 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 Veloster forward.
