My screen reads no air conditioning because of engine high temperature. Can I still drive it?

Good morning.

If the engine is running hot and shuts down the A/C system, no. You need to find out why the engine is running rich.

It could be low in coolant, bad thermostat or cooling fan not working correctly.

You need to get these checked as soon as possible.

I think ASEMASTER6371 meant to say "you need to find out why the engine is running hot" not rich.
