I recently upgraded my horn package on my 2016 Honda Civic EXT. All went well.
I did have to take off the front nose to install the horn, and had disconnected the battery. (to prevent my from setting off the air bag sensors).
Got everything connected back up. New horn works great. I started the car, and it stalled out. I tried again and it started up, but now with a list of errors.
ACC, Emission Systems Problem (ESP), Power Steering Problem (EPS), Break System Problem, Break hold System problem, Hill start. Road Departure Mitigation problem (RDM). Charge System Problem, CMBS problem.
Now I know that the system needs to be 're-calibrated' as it has had a loss of power for an extend period. And I do remember reading that there is a list of steps you need to take to reset the system and clear all the errors.
Ex:
Settings/Vehicle/, start on TPMS calibration, Idel the car for 10 mins, Drive over 60? for 90 seconds, after run, let idel for another 20 mins.
But I can not find that page that lists the steps in the correct order. Can any one enlighten me on how to reset the errors?

Well I am an idiot.
Cause of the issue: I had forgotten to reattach the cable to the air sensor located on the hood of the air filter.
Once that was reconnected. I did a full 'reset'. I disconnected the battery terminals. Let it sit for 10+ mins (In my case, over night) Hooked up the battery. Started the car. I had ACC and Road Departure problem errors. And "Drive Carefully, System Initializing"
I let the car sit for 15 mins. Not touching anything. (Started it up, went in side to eat breakfast.) When I returned, the errors were still there. I turned off the car, and turned back on. Backed out of my drive way, and in aprox 30-45 seconds, all the remaining errors cleared and all was well in the steering column display.
I drove for about 10 mins, parked in a parking lot, and turned on the center console interface (Hold the Power button for 3 seconds). Display came up. And did show 4 errors in its notification window. Break system, ABS, CMBS, and one other. I turned off the car and went into the store. Came out 30 mins later, Started her up, and drove out of the parking lot. With in about 1-2 mins, the errors on the center console cleared themselves.
Lesson learned: make sure you reconnect all the sensor cables, or else you are going to have a bad time

Hi. You may have seen this message shown on the gauge behind the steering wheel. For those who haven’t seen this before, don’t be panic. It’s not a big deal. Even though the VSA Vehicle Stability Assist lamps are on as well and we can’t turn them off. Moreover, the clock is flashing and reset to one o’clock.
This symptom happen after there’s no electricity supplied to the car such as the battery is completely exhausted for long time or we didn’t supply the power while exchanging the battery. After the car get the power back and we start the engine the message “Drive Carefully. Systems Initializing...” shown.
How to resolve this issue? Easy, just drive for 200 to 300 meters and the message is gone but be careful. While the message is still there, the brake hold system is inactive. Even though we can switch it on and the brake hold system lamp is on but it still doesn’t work. The brake hold system will become active after the “Drive Carefully. Systems Initializing...” message has gone. For the clock, if you use Apple CarPlay, after you connect the phone the clock will be set to the present time automatically. I guess Android Auto will have the same result as well.
Lastly, I wish everyone drives safely. See you next time. Bye.
