Traction, brake, and TPMS lights in yellow?

Every once in awhile I am getting these lights show up on my dash all at once. Conditions at the time are just driving in a straight line on the freeway at about 80mph. Car doesn't run poorly or react at all. Through searching the only thing I could come up with is that this is a sign of DME failing. The lights clear after a few drive cycles and everything seems normal. I did get an yellow SES light one day that seemed unrelated to these other lights since it came on by itself. It also cleared within a couple drive cycles.

Haven't been into the dealer to check for stored codes yet. I ran my Peake reader on it and came up with nothing though.

I have warranty till October, so I have been waiting to see if it turns into something serious before then. And in the mean time my mods are all on hold. I already have a list and prices from Mike at N54tuning, who probably thinks I backed out now.

Any insight on this from someone who has dealt with the same??

Could be the battery too. As I understand, the electronics begin to do odd things when the battery starts to fail

The TPMS is the strange one. Usually it's traction, brake, and ABS simultaneously. That can be a wheel speed sensor, steering angle sensor, or ABS module. Generally there's a code stored.

My tpms light goes off with the brake and traction control ones and mine was diagnosed by two dealers and an independent shop as the steering angle sensor. One day ill get around to trying the diy fix. Hopefully that'll take care of it.

Oh yeah, that's the one other thing I recal reading. debating if I should go ahead and try the DIY? One thing I noticed today as it happened for the 4th time in about 3 weeks. It is always really windy when it happens. Wind is blowing the car around a bit, which could mess up the steering sensor since the car is travelling straight but the wheel is turned slightly to compensate for wind.

Mine has started doing this as well yellow circle with triangle service engine soon and foot brake symbols. Car immediately shifts into D3 and will not change gears. After stoping and restarting the car a half dozen times it cleared and drove normal. I have procede with CAN clear on so my codes were cleared before I could check them. Any ideas?
