malfunction indicator lamp
I'm in the UK and own an Accord 2.0 SE Exec 02 model (auto). Yesterday the malfunction indicator light(orange symbol with a picture of an engine) came on when I started the car (I've never seen this light up before). I checked the oil and it was low, so filled it up asap (although the oil light never did light up at any point). This morning the malfunction indicator still came on when I started up, although the car is drivingnormally without a problem. How long should I wait to see if the light clears? If it doesn't clear, what is the next step I should take to find out what the problem is?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Maintenance req'd is an oil change timer. The reset procedure is in the manual. Low oil pressure will only come on when it is basically empty. If it's a check engine light, get the codes read and post them.

choochoo,
Most garages have "universal" scan units, many part stores even have them. After having it scanned, post your code on this forum. You will get the information that you need...I did!

Aaron, the MIL on newer model Hondas and Acuras is the same as the CEL, it's not the maintenance minder light.
x2 on getting it scanned and posting the codes up. They should be PXXXX.
