Decipher this light combo

Alright everybody, I have a warning light combo for you to help me read.

So yesterday, the first light I saw was the red !. Weird I though, so I went ahead and turned off the ignition, took the key out, key back in ignition on, ! gone.

Turn the car back on and I get the Front brake symbol on and the red "Brake" word in the display. so I check the miles until change needed per the computer and it is due. Looks like the tech forget to reset this when I got new Pads and Rotors a month ago right?

10 seconds later I get the red car on lift symbol...
ok, pull over, read any codes, nothing.

So now this morning I have the red car on lift symbol and red "Brake" in display.

Is all of this caused by the tech not resetting the computer?
Last thing to note, the brake pad sensor for the front is not connected, is this also a potential cause? It's been without that sensor for 3 weeks of normal driving no issues prior.

What do you guys think?

This could be a bad brake sensor if your rotors and pads are in good condition. This happened to me for my rear brake sensor

Brake sensor. Just connect the two wires together and that solves it. Happened to me.
