Um, more than likely, the light will go off after several starts. At least, that's the way it was with my Chevy S-10. Either you can wait, or have Honda check it out...

now i fully understand the problem u have,the manual also stated that it may be a problem with the emmission control,u better take it to a dealer ,i presume u still have the factory warranty..good luck.

Are you talking about the light that looks like a little motor or engine or something? That's to signal a problem with the emission system. It WILL come on if you run the car with no gas cap, or the cap is too lose. My dealer said if it ever happens, just stop in and they'd reset the light, and it doesn't cause any other problem.

HTH.
