What I do:

warm car
Restart car (with parking brake on + foot on brake pedal)
Rev engine if RPMs don't drop immediately (rev 2-3 times to get RPMs to drop)
with foot on brake, pump parking brake 3 times, then brake pedal 3x, etc... after the 3rd sequence the procedure is complete

The RPMs do have to drop for this to happen. That's the only way you can verify, since it's the ECU's way of saying "engine's warm, no need for fast idle"
