Default VSC paper clip reset not working

I have gone through a bunch of threads. And the process seems simple. But i cannot get my VSC light to reset using the paperclip trick. Putting it i the 3rd hole on the top. 5th on the bottom on the OBD2. And when i turn on the ignition only the ABS flashes.

no more check engine light. That issue was fixed. The VCS came on right after my mechanic had his OBD2 reader on.

i saw on Reddit somebody had the same issue a while back but did not get an answer on the fix.

any help please

The OBD2 reader is what caused the problem as this car is very peculiar to what is plugged in. Using techstream is best way to fix problem but paper clip should work.

I thought the paper clip would work but it does not for me, only the ABS light flashes. I cannot get the VSC to reset. Its such a simple task, not sure why it doesn't work for me

Will probably just end up taking it back to my mechanic that used the OBD2 that caused the light
