inspection warning light

[mrb27]

hey all, my inspection light has come on and i was wondering what systems are linked to the lamp to make it come on, or if its just come on to basicly say 'time to see the dealer for a quick check to make sure all is good',

is there a fault somewhere?
does something need attention? if so what components are linked
or is it a time/mileage thing like the oil service

As far as I can see, the wiki doesn't actually answer the OP's question!
If the 'inspection' light has an illuminated clock symbol in front of it, then this is just a simple twelve month timer, which has inputs from nothing except a clock.

arr ok, so its not telling me that there is somthing not quite right.. more a case of a quick check over to make sure all is still running correctly.

in that case ill reset it and carry on with my journey's

thanks for the info

Reading back through the Wiki, you're right, it does need a better explanation! I'll get to work on that.

EDIT: Done. Hopefully the Wiki page should now answer the OP's question.
