Default ABS and ESP light is on (2010 LV Focus)

Hi all
Front right ABS wire to the hub had rubbed thru the insulation and broken the wire
Both the ABS and ESP lights are on - faulty wire so they should be on
I've repaired the wire with a 400mm section from a wrecker car - Soldered joints - insulated and heat shrink over the soldered connection area
The ABS and ESP lights are still on after the repair
I've plugged in an OBDII scanner to check / clear the code - there are none
Question 1 Will it show on OBDII scanners or is another scanner required
Question 2 Will it go away (reset itself) after xx amount of starts
I've pulled the ABS fuse and relay and started the car (not driven anywhere)
turned it off - plugged them back in - lights still on
On a road test (60-KPH) and standing on the brake pedal it pulls up with no shudder on the pedal and it doesn't lock a wheel - so assuming ABS is working
There is a about 50 words in the owner's handbook about ESP
It says SET/RESET - not sure if this will fix it or not
Having trouble getting into the Main Menu to then progress to this option

You probably need a ODBII scanner that can access the ABS system to reset the code the cheap ones don't , if you download Forscan and have a compatible adapter you should be able to view and if required reset the codes , is a free program

Just to finish off this thread
I was having the Aircon regassed and asked if he had a scanner
Came up with wheel sensor error RHF wheel
Replaced the wheel sensor - Drove it 20 meters out our driveway
Dash ABS and ESP lights went out - Error code did not need to be cleared
