This is based on my TSX shop manual, but it might work on your accord too. There is a self diagnostic function if you are having problems with the battery light among other things.
It is worth trying and not hard to do.
1. Push and hold the trip/reset button.
2. Turn the headlights ON.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
4. Within 5 seconds, turn the headlights OFF, the ON, the OFF
5. Within 5 seconds, release the trip/reset button, and then push and release the trip/reset button three times.
If it goes through the tests (looks like there will be series of beeps and gauge lights turning on, etc), the mileage indicator on your car will indicate the result of the test. I will either show all eights (normal), or show error 1, error 2, or error 3 that may point you to the problem.
It is worth a shot to see if this may help.

The problem with DIY stuff on newer cars is that some things require the very expensive HDS to do certain items.
Is your car still under warranty?
If you plan on doing more DIY stuff, I would download an 08 shop manual. I recently bought one on Ebay for $22 from automanualsource. I could download it immediately as a pdf once my paypal payment went through. It is well worth the investment.
I'm sure you did this, but recheck the area where you did the work to see if you forgot to plug something back in, or bumped something loose.
Also, maybe try another key for your accord?
