sometimes you have to hold the button in for longer than you think; keep trying

Just happened to me yesterday, wasn't holding it long enough. Some how I manage to forget exactly how to do it even though I've done it half a dozen times now.

You have to turn the key to position two, hold down trip and sel. Keep holding them. Turn the key back off. Turn it back on while still holding and then start the car.

on an 06 just turn the key to pos 2 and hold the trip button for like 20-30 sec. it will start to flash. then let go of trip and hold trip again. hold it until you see it reset.

Works for me just like MasterForce said. Have you held it after turning the key or have you been turning the key at the same time on each attempt?
