Unless you've monkied around with the programming (and messed something up) there is no reason to worry about it. The computer will compensate thru IAT and coolant temp sensor. C'mon you know those Honda guys are nuts (LOL). Later

I believe that you can "reset" the PCM by pulling the ground from the battery for an hour or removing the fuse. Reset is too strong a word but the PCM will relearn some.

So, do you perform this procedure on the 1st day of Spring/Winter?

J/K, man...he's asking about resetting for season-change.
