Default Electronic ABS Problem?

Having some problems with my ABS.
My "Active Traction is On" light comes on and then I begin to lose acceleration power. I can remain at the speed I am going but no matter if I step on the gas I do not get any power to the car, but even lose power. I get out of it by turning off my ABS and get my power back. This only happens at speeds over 70. Any suggestions?

sounds like you may have a wheel speed sensor going south, if the computer reads differing wheel speeds it assumes that either your braking traction (reduces power) or skidding and pulses the brakes.

have you changed wheel or tire sizes ? Have you scanned for trouble codes ?
