What should I know about my Honda CRV AC compressor?
If you’ve noticed your compact crossover’s air conditioning system putting out minimal cold air – or none at all – check the condition of your Honda CR-V AC compressor. The compressor is only one of the components responsible for the cooling of your car, but it’s the most critical one.
What’s the pressure on the air compressor in a Honda Civic?
This time, I revved the car up to about 1,500 to 2,000 RPM (since the Civic seems to idle at around 500 rpm). Sure enough, he said that the low pressure was being sucked down to about 20 PSI and the high-pressure was kicking way up again past 400 PSI.
Why is my air conditioner compressor cycling on and off?
The air conditioner compressor was rapidly cycling on and off. I turned the A/C off and stopped putting R-134a into it becuase the compressor cycling was almost causing the car to die from the load it was putting on the engine. Onto Google I went.
Why is my Honda Civic air conditioner not working?
Other causes can include a stuck thermostat or worn-out hoses. The good news is that troubleshooting a Civic’s heating system for problems isn’t as difficult as its more complex air conditioning counterpart. Check the condition of the drive belt on the air conditioner compressor. Replace it if it is deteriorated or worn.

What should I do if my Honda CRV is blowing hot?
When the ac is blowing hot, turn the AC to max cold and check if the clutch is turning. If it is not, check if the power wire to the compressor clutch is getting power.
Why does AC quit cooling on 2011 Honda CRV?
Not the compressor. That vehicle uses an orifice tube expansion device, if it does get a little low on refrigerant the evaporator could freeze over. Since you checked the pressure and that’s good, I would next check operation of the condenser fan and make sure no bugs or debris in the fins of the condenser.

What to do if your a / C compressor won’t engage?
HOWEVER, if you cannot turn the compressor on, you cannot recharge your AC levels (grrrr). So you need to use a paper clip to bypass the relay switch and force the clutch to engage. You can then recharge the freon and re install the relay switch and it will sense more pressure and the clutch will engage by itself. Loading…
