Was the light on before you changed the coil pack? Why did you change the coil?

This light is 99% emissions related and even Autozone can read the code and tell you what's wrong. My cord isn't long enough to plug into your car.

Hmm

Where are you? I have a Honda PGM which can clear stuff, there is also a way involving shorting pins isn't there?

You will need to clear the log - either by OBD2 or 'hard reset'.
