Default Warning lights after brake flush

So I did the brake flush yesterday and now on the road test I have dash lights. Today I took the car out for a test drive and brakes feel good, no squishy pedal and no problems or lights for about 15 minutes. Thinking all was good, I put the diff in low and ran HDC to buzz the fluid around some more. After a few buzzes all good so I put it back in high and turned off HDC. Shortly after resuming normal driving the ABS, etc. lights come on and stayed on.

To recap the flush process I used: flushed fluid manual way at all 4 corners, then a second time jumping the ABS relay till no bubbles and all clear on all 4 sides.

These are the lights I've got:

Those are the Three Amigos. You need to read your ABS codes to find out what fault is causing them.

Yeah, the three tequila hangovers. It's just an odd coincidence they show up after a brake flush. I don't think I did anything wrong but maybe exercising the module and the HDC that hasn't likely been used in a long time caused something to show up that was lurking.

I have an OBD reader, I'll see if that shows me some codes. I have this one:

You need something that can read the Land Rover ABS codes.

I have several different ones. I don't like the Foxwell NT650 Elite at all, but the iCarsoft LRII is pretty decent. It's relatively cheap and will give you info on all the Rover's systems, but it can't program anything. I also have a HawkEye which is great and can program most settings, but it's pricey.
If you're just looking for something that will help you diagnose, there are lots of threads on this forum with recommendations for decent units.

Use my little iCarsoft LRll all the time, easy-peasy. Yeah, read the codes...like said...probably just a coincidence.

A bit pricier but Nanocom Evolution or even Faultmate (even pricier) are really good.

I must have just made it angry with all the buzzing of the ABS system during the flush and running the HDC around the parking lot because the amigos went back home. Hopefully they stay away for good.
