In Sept 2017 I posted (in a related thread):
This time it fixed itself WITHOUT disconnecting the battery. So, no chance to troubleshoot. Been blowing ice cold after that one event.
What are possible causes for these two failures that both fixed themselves? Some sensor that incorrectly turns the compressor off when it shouldn't? Since the problem didn't last long enough to troubleshoot, I don't even know if the compressor was or wasn't running during this week's outage. Weird.
"Since" ended more than 5 years later. Earlier this week, AC started blowing hot air on my way home. Decided to troubleshoot the next morning.FWIW, mine stopped blowing cold air from any vent and also the fan speed was lower than normal. I disconnected the battery for a few minutes and its been working fine since. There is so much programming in these cars just about anything short of a rod sticking thru the block makes disconnecting the battery worth a shot.
