When should I come in for Nissan 200SX differential service?

Can my 200SX malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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

You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Nissan's recommendations.
