A/C blowing out hot air

Hi,

That could be caused by a few different things. First, take a look through this link and let me know if it helps:

Next, when you turn it on, do you hear the compressor engage? It would sound like a click, and you may notice the engine RPM's slightly change. If not, then try adding freon. Here is a link you may find helpful.

If you do hear the compressor engage, I would still confirm the system is charged. If it is, then suspect there is an issue with the blend air door. This door is responsible for the air temperature entering the vehicle.

Since the vehicle has such low mileage, have you contacted a dealer to see if they can repair it under warranty? See pic below.

Let me know what you find or if I can help.

Take care,

Hi,

Make sure you are on the low-pressure line. It won't fit the high pressure and certainly, don't try attaching to it.

Since everything is working and you hear identified the compressor is working, the problem is likely in the vehicle. If you told me the A/C just wasn't cold enough, then I would check the charge. Note: The compressor wouldn't turn on if the Freon was too low.

So, that leaves what is called a bend air door. This is in the vehicle and responsible for the air temperature entering the cabin. However, there are two of them, one for the driver's side and one for the passenger's side. I don't feel both would fail at the same time. But I'm not 100% sure what you are experiencing.

You indicated the A/C isn't working properly. Does it work at all? Explain the symptoms.

I will watch for your reply.

Joe

Do you have any control over the temperature entering the vehicle? For example, does the heater work?

If not, I would remove the air mix door actuator motor and confirm it is operating and the linkage to it is properly attached and not binding.

I attached the directions for the passenger side mix air door motor removal. Consider removing it and checking to see if it is operating properly when you change temperatures. When it is removed, it should be in the max cool position. Make sure the system is also in the max cool position when reinstalling it.

Let me know.

See pics below. Note: I am basing this on the AC compressor turning on. Also, this should be under the manufacturer's warranty. You may want a dealer to check what is happening. It isn't making sense to me. It would be odd for both actuators to fail at the same time and the compressor is working.

You are very welcome. Let me know what they tell you or if there is anything I can do to help.

Take care,

If they "can't" fix the A/C? They are a dealership. Who better to take it to?

Try again to reach the service manager. If you can't, in the rear of the owner's manual you should be able to find a customer relations phone number for Acura. Contact them and ask what they recommend. They usually get the ball rolling.

Let me know.

Hi,

Thank you for the update. I hope you are okay. Are you still sick?

Regardless, I'm glad to know it's fixed. Take care of yourself and please feel free to come back anytime in the future. You are always welcome here.
