The code corresponds to "Cooling System Malfunction". Autozone recommends checking the thermostat and coolant levels. According to at least one member of the Honda-Acura.net forums, it's an issue with a the coolant temperature sensor. 6th Gen Hondas also have an issue with faulty ECMs. According to another member of the forum above, the car's ECM should be under warranty for 8 years or 80k miles. Call the numbers on the back of your owner's manual to speak with someone from Honda of America. Here's a technical explanation of the problem. "UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS AFTER A COLD START, THE ECM/PCM CAN MISCALCULATE HOW FAST THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RISES AND SET DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0128 OR P1486 (COOLING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION). HONDA SERVICENEWS." Finally, it's suggested you reset the malfunction light (and code) by disconnecting the negative battery cable for 10 seconds. Then see if the problem comes back.
