as mitch_anderson said, but i *think* it has to be in the 'acc' setting on the ignition for it to wipe it out - i.e. the one before the car turns over...

The ignitions needs to be 'on' (not access.) with engine not running. Hold down for 10 seconds.

and u press and hold mode

u might need to press mode a few times to get it to say serv reset.
