Default VSC off , VSC and TRAC lights on after spirited driving?

Does anyone else experience this?

Sometimes when I'm on the highway and it's wide open I sometimes like to open her up. When I get to about 90-100 of hard core gunning it I see these lights.

Does anyone else experience this?

I searched but didn't find anything that relates to this specific problem.

98 GS4 btw

Maybe a speed sensor is on it's way out? Best bet would be to borrow a scan tool and then try to recreate the scenario

Just changed the speed sensors last month. And this problem has been happening for a long time. Just decided to make a thread about it.

Im not an expert, but usually if your brakes are going bad your cars traction control is disabled. check your brakes
