Help, my AC shut off due to high engine temp.
I was driving down the road and get a message saying my AC was turned off due to high engine temps. The oil temp light is on 100 and the engine temp is on C. I turned off the car and they move back and forth so clueless on the problem. Thanks for any help.

Used to have a Chrysler that would shut off the AC when the car was running too hot, mostly at idle. The car was old with many hard miles on it. Sorry but I don't have an answer. Just saying the car is programmed to do that.

Any fix for this? Mine is doing the same starting this morning.
I haven't had my AC belt on in over a year anyway but the temp gauge is at bottom on cold too. |

May want to get it checked out, a/c works very good at Arizona temps and up long, steep grades. ....so far up to 113°F.

My dealers down here I do not trust.
The car is not overheating. All fluid levels are fine. Something is making it give me this message and deactivates the temp gauge. I've read a few other threads as well but nothing conclusive. I guess I'll have to start with the temp sensor. And my own thread. hahaha |

Interested in a solution here. Those who posted so far with this issue have 2010/2011 cars and, although I hardly use my AC at all - I'd be worried if this happened to me.

lol, yeah... I hardly use it. Probably only use it when there's a passenger on board, for their comfort really. I drive with my windows about 1/3 down on both sides, with the occasional sunroof open. I'm good, I survive... even in 100+ degree weather. Also love listening to the exhaust. My radio don't get much play either lol.
