Next time it happens push in on the guage cluster. There's a plug in the rear of the cluster wich often gives the no bus error code or just makes guages not function. Your plug is probably dirty or loose. Mine does this too, pushing in fixes it. Wait till it does it again. If pushin in fixes it. Take ur cluster off and clean the plug itl fix it for good.
