I have been having this on going unknown issue with my instrument panel indicators on my car. On this panel, my malfunction indicator lamp light comes on some times after refueling but not a cap problem and stays on for a few days. This time the light came on wile driving but was not related to a refuel. On page 237 in the 2006, owner's manual it explains that the light has to do with one of the engine's emission control systems may have a problem. I have had this light come on a few times before as well as now and then the light goes out on its own a few days later. I have taken photos of my instrument panel with the light on. The photo also shows my current miles at the time when the light is on. I have given the photos to my service adviser #176 at martin main line Honda dealership # 207980 in ardmore pa 19003-2385. My service adviser as well as my tech cannot fine the problem or know exactly why the light comes on. My service adviser has explained to me that the light comes on when your car emission system is emitting fumes that it should not be doing, in return breaking a federal emission law. I have driven many miles some times as may as about 200 miles with this light on before. I just keep reporting this problem to my service adviser every time the light comes on. I have put 0 failures below because I do not know if this part fail or not. I also been having other lights come on my instrument panel as well aside from this only light. Honda needs to buy back this model car if they will not fix the major problems wrong with it.

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) indicator, vsa activation indicator, vehicle stability assist (vsa) system indicator, parking brake and brake system indicator, malfunction indicator lamp instrument panel lights comes on for no reason. For the lights to go out I must turn the car off and then back on for the lights to go out. This has happened like three or 4 times before with my car. Same problem all times. Martin main line Honda dealership # 207980 in ardmore pa 19003-2385 cannot find / pull any relevant codes from the computer in the car. The dealership cannot find anything physically wrong with my car from the lights or why they cam and keep coming on. I did show the dealership photos I took of the instrument panel with the lights on. The dealership has searched the Honda service tech website for any information on this problem and found nothing from Honda. The regional Honda service rep was asked about this on going problem and he said that he could not do anymore then what the dealership can do on there own. I need Honda to fix this major problem. Thanks
