Default maintenance required

I recently ran a can of Sea Foam through my gas tank and now my maintenance required light comes on...

Anyone know why or how i can turn it off? Is it running in limp mode now?

Did you change your oil after using seafoam? Because you're supposed to. Plugs wouldn't be a bad idea, either.

its in the honda manual on how to do it. its some clicking stuff. I don't remember.
&I've heard the light goes on to certain mileage, like timing. But that's only what I heard.

1. Turn off engine
2. Press and hold the Select/Reset button on the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Hold the button until the indicator resets (approximately 10 seconds).

turn your key on the on position w/o starting. Press and hold your odometer button for 10 seconds and start your car. It's a oil change reminder light and starts coming on after 7500 miles and stays on after 10,000 miles.
