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...
in the manuel is refers to it as a malfunction indicator lamp it lights up cus supposly i dont have my gas cap in but i bought another one and it still lighten up and it wont go away even tho since then i ve started my car up atleaat 10 times

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.
