AutoZone will check the code for free... Get the actual code from them, come back here and let us know what it is, and we can help you from there.

Something is not working correctly, which is triggering the light. You want to fix it.

If you want to try pulling the code yourself, there's a link for that in the Accord FAQ.

Dude seriously, just carry your lazy **** down there and get the code so we can help you. Something is wrong and in the long run, it ain't going to be worth it if you car breaks down. All because of a simple check engine light. And it's most likely going to be a electrical problem.

Sorry, I said the Accord FAQ, but I actually meant to say the Guide to basic Accords.

But honestly, if you think it's a lot of work to pull the code, then maybe you don't want to be working on your car by yourself...
