Hello, I'm Danny.

From what I read the clock will have to be reset by using a proper scan tool. The bulletin you read and a diagnostic guide I found said the same thing that there is no manual way to set the clock. I've attached the way to reset below using a scan tool. Hope this helps and keep us updated. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
