The red triangle on its own doesn't mean anything. It comes on along with a message on the text display. What is that message?

It depends on the message and scanner. For example, a low coolant light will give a red triangle and a warning in the text display but will not set a fault code. Or if there is a fault code but they are using a cheap scanner that can't communicate with all systems, they won't be able to read it.
