Default All warning lights come on but go away after driving for a while

I have a 2013 RX 350 with about 60K miles on it. I've noticed that lately (not every time, but here and there), all my warning lights go on but after a little bit of driving (especially when I feel the car shift gears), they go off and everything is normal.

I did a little Googling and saw that I might need to get the alternator and battery checked. Other than that, does anyone here have an idea as to what might be happening?

Thanks!

How old is your battery? When they begin to fail, they often throw all sorts of spurious warning lights and OBDII codes.

Get the charging system tested and also check the battery terminals for acid build-up.

Both nailed it above. Battery or Alternator. Good luck!

Every winter as soon as it gets cold enough we get these complaints of random warning lights that are the result of batteries failing due to the cold weather. Do what they advised in the above posts.
