Odd problem at high speed
I have the strangest problem. I have experienced this 3 times, although I have only driven speeds this high 3 times. It seems, once I hit 130mph my dashboard lights up. I get ABS failure, traction control failure, active suspension failure, all the lights on the dash illuminate indicating major problems with the car. There is no noticable performance hit, and everything seems fine. The lights stay on until the car is powered off. Upon restarting the car, they are gone as if nothing happened.
Has anyone seen of heard of this before?

Nope, never heard of that happening before. Are any codes being thrown?

hey
I guess I could go to autozone and see if there are any codes in the history. Upon restarting the car like I mentioned, all error lights/warnings are gone. I just assumed I couldnt get a code off it. Lets just say I have never had a code reader available when the lights did come on.
Members in the club I am in have topped 160 on a regular basis at the track and have never had problems.
The car is a stock 04 including wheels and tires.
One day at a light some guys pulled up next to me in a truck wanting to know if I got it up to 200 yet!

Do you have different size tires/wheels on the car than stock, or do you have stainless brake lines. I installed stainless brake lines on my car and when I hit speeds of over 120mph, (track only
) I throw wheel speed variation codes for the front left and right wheels. I have been told it is due to the very high speed vibration of the stainless line building up static electricity and then sending a voltage spike into the wheel speed sensor.

When I get back I'm going to have to try that since I have SS lines on mine as well. Sounds a little hokey.

I'd be thinking something associated with the active handling
Post up the codes and there are some real experts here who could probably help.
