Every once in awhile when I back up lights will turn up on the dash, one is the service light, trac off light, and the ABS light.
It only seems to do it when I'm backing up and its starting to get more frequent. I live in MN and it never does it in the winter, just spring/summer/fall? Any ideas?

That is a good one. I would recommend having the computer scanned to identify what is causing the problem. Most parts stores will do it for free.
