Probably because the fault has not been cleare brom the on-board computer. On ome model CR-V's there is a black plastic slot in the bottom of the right side of the i9nstrument panel glass - just to the right of the odometer. On these models, inesrt the ignition key into the slot - do not turn it - hold it in the slot for 7-10 seconds, which should reset the computer. and extinguish the check engine light.
