Narrative:

At 75 KTS on takeoff an ECAM amber warning and audio chimes indicated a reverser fault of some sort. A rejected takeoff was accomplished and the aircraft cleared the runway. By the time the aircraft was brought to a complete stop on the runway; the ECAM fault was no longer displayed. All appropriate checklists were completed and aircraft returned to the gate for maintenance action. An appropriate entry was made in the aircraft maintenance log.
