Can't really help if we don't know the code. Go to autozone and have them pull the code.

the main light - is that not different from the check engine light (cel).
i dont know becasue i still drive the older ones.
but i got an 83 audi and they have this main light that just comes on at a preset mileage just to tell you that it is time to change the oxygen sensor (i think).
there is some button to press to reset it - nothing to do with anything wrong.

but, dont know if it is the same with honda
