Will the computer in a 2007 shut down the AC compressor in an overheating scenario because it would be considered non essential? Yesterday on my way home from work my AC quit blowing cold. I just had the compressor changed a couple of months ago so my first though was bad compressor. Then I noticed the temp gauge start to climb. The truck was over heating. There was a hole in the radiator. Now that the overheating problem is fixed the AC is again blowing cold. I just would like to know if I may be starting g to have issues with the compressor again or if it's natural for it to shut the compressor off because of overheating of the motor.

 

The software in the PCM shuts down the compressor in a variety of fault situations, including severe enough misfires and over temp conditions.

 

Alright. I'm answered. Thank you very much.

 

and also during WOT, to free up a few extra ponies...
