Brake interlock was my suspicion.

Ya, if I hadn't had it firmly in my head that he had a MT for some weird reason (he never once says it) I may have clued in.

Brake light switch -that's it - dealer claimed that was the cause for ABS and Slip indicator as well as car not turning over

Thought so. No sensors.

This is right on the money. Wish I found this earlier. Yes I have an AT but always used the manual mode except when I have food or drink in one hand...

Thanks for pointing out this bulletin.

Also take a look at this thread:

Kinda smart... Look at the master cylinder pressure, see the increase in pressure, realize the brakes switch is not closed (Or open, or what ever the position should be).

I will try this as well!
After I upgraded all my brakes the lights go off. Even more in traffic or when I merge

For the 2nd time in 4 months, this problem came back on my 2017 BRZ. Dealer said the brake light switch simply broke for unknown reason. I also hadn't touched that part of the cabin either (eg. Did not change mat, etc)

When I expressed concerns if this could happen while driving, the service person simply shrugs...

Now I feel very confident about my car... and the weather is just getting nice.. sigh..
