Why does my Honda CRV air conditioner stop working?
As discussed above, when this happens black death can occur. The compressor can stop working due to coolant loss or contamination, but it can also occur as a result of normal wear and tear over time. Problems with the electrical system is another culprit.
When does the air conditioner compressor turn on and off?
With the relay plugged in, the compressor began cycling again off/on. Turns on at 44 psi and turns off at 20-21 psi. And it isn’t slow. It’s a decently fast cycle. So, any indication of these numbers??
What to do when your compressor won’t cycle off?
If the pressures are good, then the next area I would look at is the high side pressure sensor. With the engine running and the a/c on, use a multimeter to see if the sensor is sending a constant “on” signal to the control module. If the sensor is acting normally then it’s time to start hunting down a short in the system.
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 does my Saturn SC2 compressor not cycle off?
I have a 1997 Saturn SC2. The compressor will not cycle off when the A/C is on. The only way I get it to turn off is when I turn the fan off or press the A/C button. I am worried about damaging my compressor. What could be causing this and how do I fix it?
How can I Keep my air conditioner compressor on?
To keep the compressor on I removed the relay and jumped the terminals to turn it on. The low side was below 15 psi. I hooked up the 18oz can of Arctic Chill and put the whole can in. After disconnecting the can, but keeping the gauge on I put the relay back in and watched the gauge go up and down. So…
