Twice now in the 12-year life of my 2nd gen Tacoma, the air conditioner refused to kick in and blow cold air. Each of those 2 instances followed a somewhat lengthy period of battery power disconnection. The second time, just yesterday, when I switched on the AC, all I got was hot air. I'm assuming the compressor clutch didn't engage (or the computer failed to send power for that to happen). The first time followed the initial battery failure, about 6 years ago.
So today, when I started up the taco & switched on the AC, plenty of cold air, the refrigerant lines were extra cold, and everything was working fine.
All that I can deduce is that the computer doesn't like to be de-powered for a significant length of time, and it lets me know by blowing a bunch of hot air!
