Probably an automatic transmission. If so, no reason for the parking brake to be on in this situation.

In my 2LT, the word brake illuminates when you engage the parking brake

The car has no flat tires. And the brake lights always come up when the Service ESC/Traction pops up (even if the brake is down).

I’ll be buying some of the new sensors to see if it’s that first and install them. I’ll come back with an update in a few.

Then why is the TPMS light on? So this is not new? The fact that the brake light is on means that the problem is in the brakes NOT the ABS or ESC systems or the typical engine problems.

In other words; there is something unusual going on not the typical.

While the ABS light is on a scanner that is capable of ABS can retrieve the codes. They don't store in memory.
