Disconnect a rear sensor(if they are the plugged type)... go for a ride then read the codes again(remember the code then erase it).... if there will be no code this way it means it's a comunication issue with the tester or an ECU missbehaviour... the system is conceived as to store all codes and it's not supposed to trigger the warnings as long as a code is not recognised as in the diagnostic protocol.

The SLABS ECU is quite fastidious on diagnostic signals so if no joy worth a try with a dedicated tester(nanocom or hawkeye)

I'm going to stick it on again tonight and see if the codes are there again! I've been told to run a live data scan on it and see if the abs sensor is picking up the wheel speed as the air gap maybe incorrect? worth a try. It's just really annoying as i didn't have this problem before moving the abs sensor...

The lights have come on my Disco also however last week I had abs and tc come on after some kick back on the brake pedal (automatic). These reset after I switched the ignition on. Tc, abs and hill decent have come on today with out any kickback and won't go off.

Did you get any kick back before hand?
