Default Trac and active handling failure at high speed

Can anyone tell me why I lose trac and active every time I reach 100mph+?

They work just fine for all types of driving, including hard throttle accel, but as soon as I hit around 100mph both warning lights come on and the display indicates service needed.

Nope but it happened before and after so that isn't it.

Common problem. You can find out more by doing a search. Start by checking your codes in the DIC and go from there. A difference of 9+ mph in one wheel speed sensor will through codes. Could be the sensor/hub or just a harness connection. The harnesses are interchangeable from side to side. Try swapping them if your codes indicate a problem in that area to eliminate the possibility of a bad sensor/hub. Probably just a harness or ground connection.
