How often should I come in for Subaru Impreza differential service?

Why is my Impreza malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Impreza’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your Impreza’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Impreza forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
