Check engine light glitch

Anyone having their check engine light on for no good reason? I had mine on for about two months now (just hit my 1000km yesterday). Went to dealership three times, they checked, turned it off and told me nothing is wrong with the engine, that it is a software glitch and to wait until they get a software upgrade or bulletin from Honda. Hasn't happened yet and I am getting nervous. It went off for two days and is on again. The codes they report are:
P2183 - ECT Sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance Problem

and

PO111 IAT Sensor/ Circuit Range/Performance Problem

Anyone knows what this means?

It's been between +4C and -20C here in Edmonton, but I found no correlation between weather and check engine light. The engine seems to be running smoothly, but I am constantly getting something like 10l/100km which is way too much (or too little). I haven't seen anyone report such high fuel consumption anywhere. By the way, it's DX Manual, most of my trips are around 4km, and I always use block heater at home, but at campus where I park outlets get powered only below -15C.

I haven't had that happen to my car....

I will keep my eyes open though and let you know if it does

Had the same issue with check engine light and bad mileage (10-12l/100). As usual dealer could not find anything wrong.
Had to disconnect completely battery, short circuit the wires for a minute. CE light is gone.
Did idle learning procedure. Switched to Petro-Canada fuel from CO-OP. Will monitor the mileage.

BTW. How to read the codes?
