Default Crazy TCS/AC problem

04 Accord EX 3.0 190K miles.

TCS light comes on and when it does the AC will stop blowing cold.
If I pull over shut off the engine and restart the TCS light will go off and AC will start blowing cold again.

Lately when this problem happens the car doesnt like to get above 45mph. Its can get pretty dangerous until I can find a place to pull over and restart. Bad news restarting doesnt always reset what ever is going wrong.

Ive read on google several people having this problem but unfortunately know one has ever given a answer as to what causes this. Please help me out. Thanks.

Was any recent work done on the car, or any other issues?

The TCS/ABS and A/C aren't directly related mechanically or electrically. I'd stop by a parts store just to have the engine codes scanned. I'd also have the parts store test the battery/starter/alternator as univerally low voltage could relate these two items.

No other problems to speak of. Got a new battery this summer….a new alternator in the fall. I have an Autel Bi-Direction Scanner. Its throwing some codes but I have been unsuccessful in geeting this car fixed. Nothing Ive tried fixed anything and Even though I didnt cannon shoot parts at this I might as well have since Im still battling the same issues. Replaced the TCS module and ABS pump, battery, alternator, ECM, two ground straps under the hood, checked fuses and solenoids.

This is more common than I thought it would be but not so common I have run into a answer yet.
