Read your owner's manual, it will tell you what the light is for, and how to reset it.

Jeez, a thread where I didn't leave some cheezy off handed remark.

I could make the wise-*** point of you having recieved an updated Terror Alert Level notification from Homeland Security, but I've already used that one.

This time it's a Technician Criticallity Alert Indicator, warning of impending blood loss for the poor sap that works on it.

The truth? It's really only a maintaince reminder tied into the odometer who's sole purpose is to get you back to the Honda Dealership, if for nothing else than turn the bloddy thing off!!
