Heck of a lot cheaper than a compressor!  Def, get that CAC lined up

True Indeed! I might order a Ambient Temp sensor for a peace of mind since its in the same location! Z

It seems a Rock made it through the Front Grille Fascia @ High Speeds and made a fairly large Hole in the Condensor!  :
Charge System Install DYE with BLACK LIGHT and Found Condenser Leaking and will need To Evaluate and Replace Condensor and Recharge and Test and inspect for any other Leaks throughout the System.

I will need to remove the Front Bumper in order to gain access to the Condensor!
One Positive Note I DO NOT have the Ford collision warning which is found on the NON-PP-SHO version and might make the process a Tad bit easier AFAIK!

It might be beneficial for me to order a new UpGraded CAC (Intercooler) since it's in the same vicinity area! Maybe -perhaps!!!!   
To the OP Hope your issue is far less complicated than mine. Z

Well at least you got yours figured out. They couldn't find any leaks but suspected condenser when I brought it in. Ever heard of having a leaky evaporator behind the dash? Not saying my issue but the constant hiss of AC filling the system has me thinking it's something with evaporator. I don't know,if I've really heard that before, but now I am paying much more attention.

Quick update on my end. SHO and A/C has taken back seat to getting wife's Jeep back together. The other day she picked me up from work and I was like wow the AC is nice and cold on the passenger side. Stuck my hand over to drivers side vent and it was warm air. We both had temperature set at 65 on an 85 degree day. So now I think it may be the drivers side blend door seeing as it is only having the issue on that side I suppose. Is there something in forscan to monitor the blend door percent open or something? Eventually I will be putting a thermometer in the vents to see what temp air is coming out. Hopefully after this weekend wife's Jeep will be rolling again, so I can tackle the SHO.

I would change both Blend door actuators located inside the passenger Glove box! I believe they both have the same part number for reference IIRC! Z

Passenger actuator

I think there is a blower motor duty cycle in Forscan, but not sure about a blend door %.  Many codes can set related to the blend doors, so there MIGHT be a PID.  Again, not sure.

There is a left and a right blend door you can see
During car start I saw 1% then as I changed temp from 65 to 70 then back to 65 I saw those changes in the hvac module

Sweet. thanks!

[ZSHO]

There are 2 actuators as mentioned ^^^
One is next to the cabin filter and one is behind the center console.
Both can be accessed & seen through the Glove box.  Z

[SHOdded]

There might be a recalibration routine for the hvac module, like a secret combo.  It works on the Edge with auto climate control, might on the SHO also.  Youtube it.

So yes, I can see the blend door positions in Forscan and they look fairly close except the drivers one is at a different position than the passengers even at same temperature. According to FSM I need to remove fuse 15 from smart junction box for one minute and then turn on power for at least 30 seconds to have the blend doors recalibrate. I cannot find the location of said smart junction box in the FSM but I think it may be the junction box at drivers kick panel. Issue is fuse 15 according to owners manual has nothing to do with HVAC, that's fuse 47. It is definitely not in the PDC under the hood. Also per the FSM there is one blend door actuator to the left of the dash and the one behind the glove box. I swear there was a third for some sort of temperature control but I only see two listed in FSM. There is a second one at the glove box but it is listed as the mode door actuator, which seems to be working.

[SHOdded]

two blend door actuators and two mode door actuators.

yes, the fuse panel under the driver dash is the SJB/BCM.  The owner's manual descriptions are often incomplete, the FSM is the reference where functionality is concerned.  Anyhoo, Fuse 46 seems to be the only one listed as related to climate control, that is the one I would pull.  Dunno where F15 and F47 are being drawn from, perhaps a 2010-12 SHO?

Sometimes removing the Ground and Positive Battery Terminals for an hour will reset to Default! Z

[Gjkrisa]

In forscan thru the phone there is a test to reset the hvac blend door module
