Can be any number of things, went thru a long list with my dads car.
My dad had his ECU replaced, but 2 weeks later the car did the same thing. What it turned out to be in the end is the bottom of the ignition barrel was shorting.... There's a plug or switch etc at the bottom of it........ and it was shorting the ECU and BCM etc.....
lol after spending $1600 on having the computer replaced etc...... and it happened again, it cost $60 to fix the stupid switch on the barrel at the bottom and it's been fine ever since.
I diagnosed the problem the second time as the things that were happening didn't make sense, VCM Suite says OK, but power was a bit shot....... and I only discovered the issue buy using the key to move between run and start etc....... the dash kept switching off etc.
We originally had an auto electrician come in and check the car over before all of that and he said it was fine. So yeh.
ECU or Ignition barrel was our cause.......
