Narrative:
Between 95-100 knots on takeoff roll; the takeoff warning horn and takeoff warning config light momentarily sounded/illuminated due to the le flap transit light momentarily coming on. The captain; pilot not flying (PNF) called continue based on the airspeed being greater than 80 knots. The le flap transit light subsequently went out within the span of a couple of seconds and the takeoff was continued. Airborne and enroute; we reviewed in detail the checklist and were prepared if the le flap transit light were to come on during landing. The system worked normally upon approach and landing.contract maintenance met us at the aircraft in order to diagnose the problem. Although this situation very alarming during the takeoff roll; it was handled properly and professionally by both the captain (PNF) and the first officer; pilot flying.
