Default OBD can't see fault codes even when connected (Resolved)

The problem is that I accidentally switched on Drive while the car was lifted and the ABS and ASC faults appeared on the dashboard... and now I'm unable to clean them.

My OBDII reader is ELM 327 ver. 1.6. and it looks like this one:

The problem is that ABS codes are jaguar specific and generic instruments can't read them. You need to have a shop with Jaguar software clear them.

Take it for a drive, they should clear if there isn't a problem
