Thanks for the lead Tek, here's a short description of how he did it:

No, you don't need a relay, and just about any small light will work. I tried 3 different ones and ended up using the lighted rocker switch. I got the signal from the No. 4 cylinder MDS solenoid power wire at the PCM. It is a brown/light blue 18 gauge wire (pin 28) on PCM plug C1. C1 is the top plug on the PCM. I used a saddle splice to tie a plug in pig tail. This way if I have to, I can easily unplug and remove. This way, if I don't want to monitor the MDS, I just turn the switch off. Works cool. I was out testing some more tonight. I will say the MDS does not work the way book says it does. Have to be in Drive and in top gear above 30 mph to make mine work. I have not seen it work when the engine is cold. The coolest temp. I've seen it work at is about 130 degrees.

Honda saw fit to include an "eco" light to indicate MDS activity. It works when warmed up and frequently in town in any light to light-mod throttle situations.

I just hooked mine up temporarily using a test light....it works!!!
