Today I did some extensive driving in the heat and discovered a new characteristic of my ailing air-conditioning system. Right out of the garage it started out working great as usual. Then within 10 minutes I began smelling the humid odor that signals the compressor was turned off. It cycled on and off for a short times but not enough to keep the cabin anywhere near comfortable. From my aerospace days I recalled that sometimes we would cycle the power to a system and it would come back into operation when it was turned back on. So I shut down the AC for about 15 seconds and turned it back on. The AC came back up and started cooling again. I don't think it was operating at 100%, but it was livable and even cool (the outside temperature was running in the mid 90's.) It continued cooling until I reached my destination about 20 minutes later. On the way home it shut-down again about 8 minutes into the trip and a 15 second shutdown cleared it up again.

When I got home I ran the self-test and it returned codes 13 and 14 (Sun Load Sensor & Evaporator Sensor, both open-circuit.)

Tonight while looking in SVXIpedia under the section "How to Check Climate Control Trouble Codes" (this link) there is a statement that I don't think I understand. It says,
"Anytime codes 13, 33, 34 or 35 are displayed, the condition is one which is currently occurring."
I don't know if I understand for sure what this means. Does it mean that if the Sun Load Sensor fails and then starts working again it won't show a code 13 in the memory? Since we are all reading code 13 I was wondering if this has any significance.
