mine does the same thing, but sometimes it works. there should be a way to check codes from the ecu, but i haven't tried since i found the ecu sends ground signals.
the idiot light cluster is known for bad solder points, so this could be it. you could replace the light and see if that fixes it. you could volt test the wiring harness. you could check mazdamark.com and see what he's offering in the way of idiot light clusters.

Try pulling the codes anyway. Maybe grounding the single green test connector will make it work.

If you have removed emissions dont worry about it. About the AFM what exactly does it say for #8?
