I am getting a "Right reverse light failure" on my display intermittently. When it occurs, I have tried leaving the car in reverse, hand brake on, and gone back behind to car to inspect the backup lights. All seems to be okay. Any ideas?

In addition to checking on the battery, you might change out the two reversing light bulbs. Mine gave similar messages for a couple months before failing completely. They aren't that expensive, and it's an easy DIY. Once the bulbs were changed, the error messages stopped.
