What am I doing wrong or need to reset?

Unlock car with remote key fob
Key in ignition & turn, pedal to floor
MIL is orange on dash & no red glow on starter button?
Go to boot press BDS button
Then MIL goes off, red on starter button, car starts & everything fine

Any clues folks??

Tried the old carpet check, it's ok. I think it's something related to electrical gremlins or some procedure which needs to be run through after a battery replacement. Just can find any information.

Can get the car started now, but need to clear the MIL every time. Unfortunately the ODB2 I borrowed won't tell me the code for the MIL being on. Anyone know of an OBD2 unit which will give the code for at 07 V8V?

Thanks

Now have a strange clicking like a solenoid from n/s rear wheel when car is stationary & locked. I'm very much beginning to regret buying this car frown
