Default Vanishing Engine Codes!

Was at my local dealer Saturday to have an antenna replaced under warranty on my 2010 StreetGlide. By coincidence, the evening before, my Check Engine light came on for the first time in 22K miles. Stayed on for many 15~20 minutes and then went out. No rideability or performance issues so I wasnt to concerned. While having the antenna replaced I told the Service Writer about the Check Engine light coming on and asked that the Tech check to see what code was coming up. Twenty minutes later I am told my bike is ready. The Service Writer tells me all is well, new antenna installed, and by the way, the Tech found three codes, one of them historic. I asked him, "What were the codes?" He says, "Dunno, the Tech didnt tell me and he cleared them." He then suggested that I wait to see if the Check Engine light comes on again and bring it in for service.

I've had the cruise control and rear brake light switch fail with no code. The stock HK radio audio cuts out intermittently with no code.
