Holden Commodore 2003: ECU trouble
The ECU might have detected a low pressure at some point and set off a warning, but it might have been a one-off. Once the ECU was rebooted everything reverted to normal. That said it might occur again at some time in the future. If you are concerned about it, take it to an auto transmission specialist and have it tested. If the transmission hasn't been serviced before you could also consider having that done as well.
