The same issue happened me yesterday. I solved the problem by openening the car using the trunk. Then valet mode was off.

I hope it helps you

I had this problem. It turned out to be broken wires in the RH boot hinge. See if your trunk lights and license plate lights work. I know it sounds strange, but it has happened to many people.
