When you turn on the air conditioning an A/C request signal is sent to the computer. The computer will energize the compressor clutch. If the computer thinks the engine is overheating the air conditioning will be disabled. If you have a temperature gauge on the dash is it working? If not that's probably why the check engine light is on. Also, when the computer is not getting a signal from the coolant temperature sensor it assumes the engine is overheating. The computer will disable the air conditioning and turn on the radiator cooling fans. So if the temperature gauge is not working, check the coolant temperature sensor and the wiring going to it. Plus have the computer scanned for those trouble codes and see if a coolant temperature sensor code pops up. If it does, that's probably why the air conditioning isn't working. Hope that helps! Jim

Your local auto parts store can scan the computer. Most stores will do it for free. Jim
