Default Clearing ABS Amigo Memory

Do any of you know if there's a way to clear prior faults from an ABS Amigo? It's not terribly important, but I recently bought an inexpensive used ABS Amigo and would like to clear the stored information. I found nothing at the RSW Solutions web site about clearing the memory. When plugged into a Windows machine it appears as a flash drive, so I tried erasing the text and re-saving the file. That didn't work so I tried deleting the file. That didn't work either; when I removed the device and reattached it the file with the stored faults appeared again.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

Purchase a code reader that can delete codes from the SLABs, I recommend iCarsoft LR II from Amazon

I’ve never used an ABS Amigo as I always found it $$$ for what it did. Have you tried emailing them? After getting my Nanocom for next to nothing I’ll never look back lol. iCarsoft LRII is a great LR specific scantool and it’s always in my 06 LR3. I think I paid 90.00 for my Gen 1 LRII scantool. I got the Nanocom for 180.00 and it paid for itself in two days lol!

The iCarsoft and Foxwell NT510/520 diagnostic testers can clear ABS/3-amigos faults in the SLABS unit.
I agree with Best4x4 on the Nanocom, it is well worth the money if you plan on keeping and working on any Land Rover.

Thanks, but some of you misunderstood the question. The faults stored in the SLABS are not the question. The ABS Amigo reads them AND clears them. I was asking about the fault codes stored in the ABS Amigo. CollieRover is correct - the ABS Amigo maintains a "stack" of codes read, and old ones roll off as new ones are read. The last three readings are kept. I was looking for a way to clear out those stored codes but it's no biggy.

I paid $30 shipped for it on eBay. I figured it was worth it to be able clear The Boys from South of the Border on the fly without needing to get home and connect my laptop with the AutoCom and the Delphi software.
