Take it back to a dealer. BS on any reset button, and there is no calibration procedure the car is doing.

Either it's got a faulty TPMS sensor, or the tire pressure is low in any one of the tires.

Maybe I'm stateing the obvious but did you check the tire pressure, if it's too high or too low it would cause the TPMS light to come on

Check the tire pressure? Why do you think Honda put the TPMS on the car in the first place?

Be sure to check your spare too! I head somewhere on here that a guy with aftermarket rims on his 08 never got the light because he kept his spare in tact. Haven't checked myself yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's one there too!

You need to take it back to a dealership.
If there is an issue with the TPMS system (dead sensors or dead control unit) then that needs to be fixed.
Not only do you need to make sure the correct tire pressure is in the tires but there is also a procedure that is done during the PDI inspection before the car is sold.
You can do this yourself but because your car is so new I would not even get your fingers dirty.
Try to find a dealership that will take care of it.
