Is there anything else besides the 3 start presses you have to do for diag and does the car indicate when it it has entered diag mode? In searching I've seen some mention of holding down the BC button after the 3 start presses but that was for other cars so not sure.
Yes, when in diag mode, the car indicates diag mode in the instrument display text area and with a persistent message in the entertainment display. Also, HVAC will operate and auto lights will activate as if the engine is running (but it isn't).

I really think you should step back and ramp yourself up slowly until all of this is second nature. The road you're on is going to end in tears.
