Possibly or maybe the glowplug relay or a connector.

My glow plug light came on as usual then started flashing for a while after
starting. More recently that has cured itself.

I've heard that there are lots of cars having problems that self-cure after
a while and
I guess it's the weather. My brother's Nissan turned the radio up when the
steering wheel
went to the right and down when it went to the left. That has self-cured
today.
My canbus light came on but there was no fault, that has also self-cured.

Yours could have been a faulty pump or injector as well, but if it remains
OK don't worry about it.
