The one time I was able to see it happen in the shop, it was freshly charged at idle, and the pressures began to climb. I watched it go to over 500psi, then heard (and felt) the fan begin to pull more air, and the pressures all dropped to normal.
Currently, with the new AC Delco high pressure transducer, it has cut the compressor instead of blowing off the pressure, but the last time was 2 days ago. Currently the system seems to be working normally most of the time, yet still occasionally has this failure. It seems to be an airflow issue. Like the fan clutch (which is new, attempting to fix this issue) just doesn't pull enough on occasion, but the truck itself never gets hot, and I can hear it kick in hard when the temp gets barely above the normal mark. This is just a drive you up the wall issue. But at least it's my truck instead of a customers. Lol. This has been going on quite awhile, but I previously didn't know the cause. Since it would only tell my on the MODIS scanner that under that PID that the a/c was "not granted" but did not tell me why. After it blew off the pressure, I finally saw what was happening, and have a better understanding of the system. But still have no answer as to why.
