Depending on the year, my '98 Accord maintenance light comes on about every 7500 and I change my oil every 4k and reset the light myself when it comes on.

Check your owner's manual, there may be a section that tells you how to reset the light.

The ABS light means there is a malfunction within the ABS system, not bueno. When was the last time the brake system was flushed? Honda ABS systems are sensitive to dirty fluid, they don't like it. Have it checked after you confirm the fluid is at the max level and looks clean.
