Missing last step. You have to press and hold for 10 seconds one last time. The CES light will then start blinking fast. Then you turn ignition off and then restart car.

 

Your version:
wait 7
press and hold 10 (light blink slow)
release
press and hold 10 again (light blink fast)

FAQ version:
3) Wait 7 secs, fully push gas pedal and hold for 10 seconds until the CES light starts to blink
4) Release gas pedal (you are in diagnostic test mode 2)
5) Press and hold gas pedal for more than 10 seconds. Release pedal.

i really dun see the difference.

 

wow.. why would you go through all that, just unplug the battery overnight.

 

This way you don't have to reset your stations and stuff and you can do it in the morning just before you head out. If I know that I won't be moving for awhile I do use the battery method.
