So I've been getting these 2 lights popping up shown here:

I've found a way to reproduce it in my car, a 2015 FR-S. If I press the brake pedal very lightly (just enough so that the brake lights are on), the brake lights themselves start to flicker a bit. Then, the ABS/Traction lights turn on right after.

I believe this may have something to do with the brake pedal sensor thinking the brakes are applied but the brake lights not working. Similar issue was documented in this old thread and there is even a TSB for 2013 BRZs:

I might take it into the dealer but I'm not sure Scion (or Toyota rather) will service this.

Also I have a video of this here:
