Computer Fried?

I have a 2010 F150 Super Crew, 4.6L 3V, 2WD, 5.5' Bed, this past week my TPMS kept randomly flashing on my dash, along with the traction control light. Today it started doing it again, but along with those two symptoms, as soon as the dash started flashing, the air conditioning stopped blowing cool air and the temp on the center dash ran up to 125 degrees (i got a pic when it was 111), then the 125 degrees went back down to the correct temperature of around 80. Any suggestions? Is the computer fried?

First you have to check for Codes and list them so the forum has a place to start. It could be as simple as a failing abs sensor. You may also want to check the age of the battery, condition of battery cable clamps and have it load tested.

Brand new battery last week, I ran my code reader on it and O'Reilly's ran theirs, the only codes are for the O2 sensors (which have been on there for a while)

I'd suspect the new battery. Try another battery and see if it goes away.

I'm curious why you would think it's the battery. It's putting out the correct volts/amps. All of the electrics work and the truck starts fine.

Simply because the problem happened shortly after the new battery.
