Hello, the procedure is as follows: sit in drivers seat, close the door, press and hold the S/R button in the instrument cluster," the left button". While holding button turn key on without starting. Continue to hold button until a display of "reset" appears. Release the button and then press and hold again until "reset" starts to flash. release one final time and press once without holding. Your done. A display of 15000 will appear when successful. This is kind of tricky and may take a few tries. Start procedure with key off. Thank You and please accept my answer,your feedback is appreciated also. Jacob.
