So not sure what's going on. When I drive on the highway or at a speed above 60-70mph for about 5-10 minutes without stopping or slowing my car seems to enter some sort of limp mode. The CEL comes on, the speedometer stops working and drops to zero, the power steering goes off and the light comes on, the ABS light comes on, and the RPMs are limited to 4000 or below.

Doesn't give any codes when I'm getting it checked. Issue stops and lights turn off once I turn off the car and turn it back on. Only the CEL stays on but only for a bit until I drive it. Once again this only occurs when traveling constantly around 60 mph without stopping, it doesn't happen when I'm driving in the city.

Anyone have any thoughts on what could cause this? I'm thinking speed sensors or ecu is bad. Thanks in advance.
