Get it back onto a diagnostic set which can read a non-OBDII compatible set-up, such as Nanocom, Hawkeye, Lynx or Testbook.
The 3 amigos can be caused by a number of problems but mainly a faulty hub or an electrical problem on the ABS shuttle valve switches. There are some other lesser known causes. Only diagnostics can tell.

He used a snap on tester .. deleted codes .. wrote this message and abs stayed in as quoted...... drove away and lights have gone out to not come back on ... maybe a success ?? hopfully
