you have the check engine light (malfunction). It means something is wrong with the car. You can have the code checked free at some auto parts stores with odbii reader. Then match the code with the problems in tech forum sticky post. If you fix the problem, reset the light by pulling the battery negative terminal or the FI ECU fuse for a few seconds and plug it back.

yes you can reset when it blinks. Do the same thing as said before.

Just a reminder to everyone, the check engine light is a picture of a engine while the maintenence required light says "maint reqd". too many people are getting confused between the 2.

I take mine to Honda when the Maint Required light turns on, just because I am still under warranty, etc. Is this a smart thing to do or not?

I guess it's ok if you have time to kill or do other things at the dealer... but I think it's too easy to just turn it off your self.
