Put new tyres on my car on Tuesday. I'd punctured both nearside wheels but when I replaced them I put the 2 new ones on the front.

The first time I drove it afterwards the ESC/Traction Control light came on quickly followed by EML warning. Traction Control switched itself off and the car drove on as if nothing had happened. The next journey began with EML on as soon as I started the engine and ESC/Traction Control disabled.
The 3rd journey however was fault free!

I've googled ESC issues and it seems to be common after wheel changes as the Wheel Speed Sensor can get knocked or the cable can be damaged, but why has mine seemingly fixed itself?
