Been told before by VX Dealer that if the light comes on and goes off again suddenly theres not too much to worry about as they do that sometimes........something to do with ecu self checking itself when the cars being given some stick and pushed beyond its normal driving limits.
Thats what they said anyway...!!
I know it wont record anything on the fault coding unless the lights stayed on for a few seconds.

Mine does this sometimes. TB checked the stored codes and the only one I had was for an O2 sensor.
Mine flashes and goes away. He reckoned - either a crank sensor (not logged) or the connection to the O2 sensor was dodgy.

As it happens, it's not done it since the exhaust was changed a month ago, so perhaps they moved the wire.
