Why is my Honda Civic air conditioner so cold?
The blower fan seems to be normal, putting out the usual amount of air. The condenser fan turns on. If I touch the low pressure AC tubing it seems very cold. It doesn’t seem to matter how long the AC is running it usually stays the same temperature unless the RPM increases.
What should I do if my Honda Civic is running hot?
Inspect the engine. A Civic’s engine lies alongside the A/C setup under the hood, so if you can’t find anything wrong with the freon levels or the compressor, you may need to consider a different source. If you discover that the engine is running hot, its proximity to the A/C will negatively affect the system’s cooling capacity.
Is the a / C on my Honda Civic working?
Disengage the ECO mode and A/C gets nice and chilly even at city speed. I own a 2012 Civic LX with 140,000km (87,000 miles) with no A/C issues whatsoever. The A/C system on a Honda Civic uses only .75Kg (1.65 lbs) of refrigerant. Overcharging the system will damage the compressor. A/C systems specify not only what type of refrigerant and how much.
Why does my air conditioner keep turning on and off?
If the compressor keeps turning on and off, the freon level is at fault. If it doesn’t turn properly, the problem may not even be related to the A/C, but the power itself. Inspect the engine.

Why does my car AC blow cold air then blow warm air?
But that cold air turns warm fairly soon after because the high side pressures build to the point that the high pressure switch shuts off the compressor clutch. Once pressures equalize, the high pressure switch allows the compressor to start up again. The cycle repeats over and over, providing a short period of cold air, followed by warm air.

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.
