Warning Lights Related To Brake/wheel System Come On And Go Off While Driving

I had brake work done this past weekend on my Highlander and two days later while driving to work the Brake indicator, ABS indicator, VSC indicator, tire pressure indicator, and traction control indicator lights all came on while driving. They stayed on for awhile and then went off. Later in the day, while driving, they came on again. Once again going off after a few minutes. My suspicion is that the mechanic who did the work on my vehicle didn't connect something properly when he did the brake work, replaced the front rotors and rotated the tires. Does that sound logical? It just seems strange that I would have this problem right after having all of this work done to my wheels. And all of the lights are wheel related. Any ideas??
