Question Scangauge II - DTC 'C' (chassis) code on R53

Hi, all.

I'm new here, so please tell me if this is not the correct forum for this post.

I've searched the various Mini2 forums but can't find the answers I need, so I'm hoping someone with experience of the Scangauge II might be able to offer some guidance/clarification on the following...
I just purchased a Scangauge II, and I can't get it to display any DTC info, despite the fact I've got 3 yellow warning lights.

Specifically, I have a March 2005, MCS (R53) on which ABS and DSC are currently non-operational. The following YELLOW warning lights are showing...
ABS
Tyre Pressure Sensor
Dynamic Stability Control

I imagine this might be caused by something like a faulty rotational sensor (or maybe steering angle sensor, or similar). The Scangauge websites mentions P,U,C & B codes, so I'd hoped this gizzmo would point me towards the actual fault. I thought this type of thing should be reported as a C code, but the unit simply says "No Codes Found"
I'm guessing the lack of DTC info might be because...

1) I need to do something other than press SCAN to get DTCs (maybe send a special command code?)
2) The unit is faulty (??)
3) Scangauge II does not support chassis codes for my R53 (in which case, I will be asking for a refund). Does anyone know for sure if codes would be reported for the warning lights I listed?
I'm not sure what I should do next. If anyone can offer any advice, I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks.


Regards
