2001 Honda Accord LX 3.0L V6 problem?

My maintenance required light came on for exactly 10 seconds when I started the car in the morning then went away for a few days. Then last night, it came back on but only when I first start the engine and it flashes 10 times then go's away until the next time I start the car. It never did this until a few days ago.

I bought the car June 21st. I had a Mechanic (sears) go through everything and do a compression test on the pistons before I bought it for $2588 with 197440 miles on it. They said everything was good and the compression was a minimum of 135 psi. I'm guessing they checked all 6 pistons.

I looked at the oil dip stick and there is no fill line, but on 1 side it was up to the second hole and on the other it was a little higher. I just parked the car and turned the engine off right before pulling it out wiping it off then checking it again.

Anyone have any idea what the problem is.
Thanks
