My high speed fan came on this morning for a minutie or so when the temp. needle when above the LED while sitting it traffic, but the A/C was still blowing cold air. AFAIK the only high pressure "safety" valve in the A/C system is the solder plug in the receiver dryer.

I thought it was just based on pressure within the AC system. It turns the radiator fan up to high, and if it still can't lower the pressure the compressor will turn off until pressure drops below preset level. Edward
