I bought a 2000 Honda Civic recently, and now my inspection is coming up. I noticed the malfunction indicator lamp does not come on at all. The other lights do, so it's not likely the dash or fuse. My car won't pass inspection without that light. I have a feeling someone messed with the computer to screw it up. Is there a way to fix this, and do I have any legal recourse against this guy? Thanks.

It has an LED. There's no burnt out bulb.

The light HAS to come on when you turn on the accesories, if only briefly. It then has to come off when you start the engine. If either of these things fail, the car will not pass inspection.

It could also be that the bulb for your MIL burned out. I'd think for a 2000 they would have gone to an LED, but maybe Honda still used bulbs then. I'd suggest taking the car to a local garage or Honda dealership and ask about the bulb.

Actuall the lite comes on to act as a precheck for you to carry close that the uncomplicated isn't burnt out. Then at the same time as the engine starts the lite will bypass out showing each and every thing is okay.

If your light is off, doesn't that mean the computer isn't detecting any faults? The car will fail if the light is on during an inspection.
