Default Is this paper clip fix time?

I recently got my CEL on for my PO440 which I've had for years. After erasing the codes with my OBD reader, the CEL was off and I went on my way. Later in the day, I went on the highway and I got the Check engine light, VSC off, and Red Triangle. When I hooked up my OBD reader is showed 3 codes found. When I went to read them, it said NO DTCs can be found. I again erased the codes and the CEL was off as well as the VSC off. Should I be waiting for the eventual return of the CEL, and VSC off light to come back on? If so.... is this once again the paper clip fix? (which I have done a number of times in the past) I assume is it not the fuse for the OBD outlet plug.. Thanks all.

Scan it with a dealer level tool to see what it's complaining about
