Have you disconnected the negative battery terminal to reset the light? (I only assume that would reset the light since it resets the ECU)

I wouldn't go changing the MC just yet. need to diagnose the problem first. Replacing the MC might not even fix the problem.

Could be as simple as needing a new MC cap.

In 2003 the fluid level switch is in the reservoir body, not in the cap. Doesn't look like that's available without the whole MC.

Oh wow.... that sucks. Seems to me like Honda keeps making crap like this every year so you have to spend more $ on parts.
