When I start my 2002 accord, the engine maintenance light lights up 10x
before going out.  What does that mean?

You mean it's flashing?

Do your maintenance.  It's time (or at least the onboard computer thinks
it's time).

If you have the manual, it should tell you what it means.

If not, read this:

I figured its for some kind of maintenance, but I wanted to know what
it was before I take it in.  I have about 102,000 miles.  It's
automatic.  When I start the engine, the light flashes or blinks 10
times before shutting off completely.  The car seems to run normally.
It may be too early to tell.

What's the owners manual say for service that is to take place in the 100k
to 110k range?  If it was indicated a problem, then the check engine light
would be on, not the maint. light.  Could be as silly as too long since last
oil change reset.

It means exactly what it says in the owner's manual.

The odometer is reflecting that it's time to take it in for regular
service of some kind.
