4. Engine Is Overheating
Engine overheating does not control the engaging and disengaging of the AC compressor i.e. AC compressor will remain engaged regardless of the engine temperature. However, if the engine overheats, it will also increase the temperature of the air that was cooled down by the evaporator. As a result, you’ll feel hot air from the AC vents, and you’ll assume that the AC compressor is disengaging.
There are several potential causes for an engine to become overheated. The most common causes include a damaged radiator, low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, a blocked radiator, or a faulty water pump. All of these issues can cause your engine to overheat and lead to serious damage.
