Worked like a charm, and couldn't have been much simpler. Thanks. Michael

Well, I gave it a try (numerous times) without success :banghead: . Very careful with my timing and was never able to see a wrench symbol. Has anyone actually performed this rather convoluted procedure with success?

Thanks for quick reply. Looks scary to me ie put in drive and hold accelerator fully applied for 10 seconds. :stop: Wll let you know what happens (if I am still alive).

I took my Fusion in for an oil change (non-dealer). After adding the standard amount of oil and replacing the filter, the mechanic tried to start the engine in order to circulate the oil and fill the filter. Obviously it wouldn't start and he asked me if there was an override to allow starting the engine when it is warm. He said he knew how to do it for the Prius. Can anybody answer this one?
