DTC codes not showing

Hi,

After I did a valve adjustment I had a CEL related to emissions (per rdx screen below speedometer). I plugged flashpro into laptop and started datalogging. No error codes came up, and when I went to the obdii window, it showed a CEL and 3 DTCs, but again no codes.

The CEL has since gone away (after driving 30 miles or so and starting car approx 5 times) but it still shows that I have 3 DTCs without showing any codes.

I have screenshots on my laptop at home that I can upload later.

Any idea what's going on here? Thanks

Have you looked at the error codes window?

Yes the error codes window is blank as well. The second attachment didn't load - I'll reupload it. The window can be seen in that screenshot.

Is the check engine light on?

The CEL went away on its own.

I think it is a fault with the way Honda reports stored error codes using mode 3 (DTCs) and mode 7 (stored DTCs) where the counter shows errors but none are returned.
