a/c shut down
I just returned to Florida after leaving LS 460 in garage for 5 months. Car & a/c start up fine but after 5 minutes of driving the a/c shuts down & can not be re-started until I shut off the engine. I re-start the car and again after about 5 minutes, the a/c shuts down. All a/c panel lights are off except "outside temperature". In the dashboard console where the outside temperature is normally displayed there is an "E" displayed instead. The coolant fluid level is fine.

low on freon or leak. When you are out the compressor heats up and the ECU will shut it off to protect it. Same as with a house .Time to see the dealership

I would have the battery properly tested under load before assuming anything else. If the battery is not putting out proper voltage, the computer will start shutting down various systems to keep the car running.

A friend just had the same issue with their Sienna van and all issues went away after the compressor was replaced. Seems odd but it worked like a charm
