Everything is correct EXCEPT # 3. Press cluster illumination button (1) 3 times in short succession. It is NOT the illumination button! Press the R or reset button instead, and I was able to comfirm service and it works.

I turn the key to 1 position.

press R 3 times fast, I then get the battery voltage.

I press the arrows to the service options, and I use the +/- to move down the confirmation. I press R and hold R but nothing happens.

I was able to reset the service. I got to confirmation and held the lower page button, the far left lower button on the steering wheel.

I think I might have done something wrong, I canceled the full service, then I tried it again and I did the proper reset service.

what did canceling full service do?

After I comfirmed service that was it. I didn't press the R reset button again. The last step is # 7. Confirm "Complete Service" with button . The display will show "Service Confirmed". After that I just turned the key to the off position. When I started the car the service message was gone. I noticed that the service is set using days nothing to do with mileage at all. It's been 3 months since my last oil change, but I only put on around 1500 miles. You probity only reset the service timer.
