Default Three amigo code reading even if they are out? / ABS Code Reader in Northern VA?

Last night I had my first 3 Amigo experience, three beeps and the lights went on. Got home, turned the truck off, started it up again, gone. Started it up this morning, no lights. I know from the other posts that they most likely will return and I want to nip the issue in the bud now.

If the lights have come on and then are off, can I still pull the codes, or do I have to wait for them to come back on?

Does anyone have a code reader in the Northern VA area?

the codes should stay in the memory until they are read

Ben, the answer is no.
You must have the lights on to read them. What you are getting is what is referred to as soft fault codes, that is why the lights don't stay on.
By the way, you can not read the codes with an engine type scanner, has to be a Rover specific ABS code scanner.
If you want to try and fix this problem before it gets worse, send me your number and I'll point you towards a few things to look at.

I stand corrected, I guess my ground fault must be a hard code
