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.
