Did you put new wheels or tires on the car with new sensors? If so, they need to be programmed to the TPMS.
Are you running with no sensors?

The sensors and TPMS are a great system - they are there to protect you, especially when running with runflats that just don't give any handling feedback when they lose pressure, at least when you're going straight down the highway. If you lose pressure while cruising down the interstate and don't know it because you don't have sensors, when you try to take the off-ramp at your normal cornering speed, you'll probably end up in the guard rail when a sideload builds up and you lose control.
If sensors or the TPMS aren't working or the sensor aren't programmed properly, you won't be able to go into Comp mode or turn AH completely off.

I have the same problem. I took my Vette to get an HP tune local and the shop said they had upgraded GM programming for my 05. They added the most current upgrades and ever since then my Vette will not go into competitive mode. It only turns the traction control off and on. No other changes when this started happening. BTW I decided to not have that shop adjust my HP tune.
