Help! Coolant pump/bleed procedure won't start!

Hey folks just got done doing some cooling system work on my 06 e90 325i and for some strange reason I can't get the bleeding process to begin. I've done this a couple times in the past by following these instructions:

-Connect batt charger
-Insert key
-Turn on accessories using start button
-Set heat to highest temp and fan speed to low
-Push accelerator pedal all the way down for 10 seconds
-Pump should start the 12 min bleed process

For whatever reason my pump will not activate. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I've got to get this car running by the morning. Any help greatly appreciated!

As a backup plan, can you manually bleed the system effectively like an older car by running it with bleed screw open until air escapes??
