Did speedo also stop for a while ??

If so, classic symptoms of the start of an ABS ECU problem. IMHO just keep an eye on it for a while .. see if it starts to recur regularly. Mine eventually became exceedingly predictable ... wouldn't work for 20 minutes, then worked for an hour, then wouldn't work at all. I'm guessing this was related to temperature - expansion - of the bits inside the ECU.

Fix was to remove the ECU and send it to BBA REMAN for repair.
