Coincidentally I just got the same message (malfunction) last night right after midnight, so this morning I reset the FSS and changed the date to 01/2009. I guess this is is a good reminder every January...
It's always an alarming feeling every time I get a "malfunction", even when it's just warning me about the windshield wiper fluid or low gas. They really want you to ge tthe point by calling it a "malfunction" -at least it gets my attention.

Thank you Georgedaman and mdreef. I thought the fss confirm was for how many months and years until next confirm. Only after I scrolled through the two digit year did it occur to me that fss is asking for specific year and month. Now it shows "0 Malfunctions".
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Just adding to the knowledge base since my previous method didn't work this time.
I had to reset the "Main inspection performed on time? " message twice in a few years in my 03 E500
First time just did it from the cluster..just set a further date on the SPECIAL WORKS section.
Same message came up just now afew years later ,googled the problem (since i forgot how i've done it before..) and found my own posting.
The above method didn't work this time though.
Broke out the " Star" , went into the ASSYSt menu and noticed ,there are 2 colum under a tab called "Setting date" or something similar.
One was the exhaust ( which i was able to set from the cluster before), and the other was the actual "Main inspection , which i did not even find from the cluster..so i had to reset the time from the Star.
Basicly the message "Main Inspection performed on Time?" refers to 2 items but only one was accessible through my cluster..
