The “S” Light was ON – again – in the dashboard of my old Honda Accord LX 1990. This is the second time it came on. But unlike before, the car was running normal when I drive it. Based on my previous experience, I thought the light would go away the following day, but it wouldn’t. I became worried after couple of days when it didn’t go away. I searched for answers but nothing seems to be working, so I decided to bring it to the mechanic with my friend last weekend for checkup (the car has other “characters” as well, aside from startup and “S” light).
(“S” Light at the bottom right, under temperature)
Guess what? The mechanic solved the “S” indicator as soon as I told him the problem. The cause of the “S” light: a button at the side of the stick was pressed. As simple as that. I felt so stupid when the mechanic gave me that “you-don’t-know-that?” kind of look. 
I also learned that the button is a switch if you want to toggle between “NORMAL” driving and “SPORTS” driving.
Moral: Know thy car and get a hold of its manual.
