Weird, Weird and more Weird "warning lights"

So this morning I get in the X to drive the little one to school. I pull out of the driveway and the "Brake" light on the dash illuminates amber. I pull in to the school and while sitting at idle the "trans failsafe prog" warning comes on. I shut off and restart the car a few times and the issue stays.

Walk her in to school, come out, start the car and the trans failsafe and brake lights are still on, I pull off and drive about 50', both warnings turned off and the car has driven perfectly fine since.

I have read a faulty brake switch can cause this, the one that is tripped by the brake pedal. No fault codes stored either.
