I recently bought a 97 Honda Civic and took it to be smogged. I just got my driver's license and this is my first car. When I took it to be smogged all areas passed but the system malfunction light, so my car failed on that one error. However, the check engine light never comes on and I feel the mechanic is just trying to get me to come back and make money off of unnecessary repairs. The mechanic told me that the system malfunction light came on because I had just changed the cars battery and the Honda's computer had no memory, to drive it around for 100 miles to build a memory and bring it back, it should pass, according to the Smog Technician. I think this sounds ludicrous. Anyone with knowledge please leave some feedback. Thanks.
