Can coolant affect air conditioning?
Can coolant affect air conditioning?
In a properly operation system the engine coolant temperature should not affect the cooling of the air conditioner. When the engine is running, the coolant continuously circulates through the engine and back through the radiator. An AC s Overheating.
Where does the AC coolant go?
After the condenser, liquid refrigerant travels to the evaporator, located inside the passenger compartment, where it is allowed to expand, removing heat and cooling the evaporator. The fan directs air over the evaporator, then out the air vents in your car.
Why do you get cold air on the driver side?
The evaporator core is on the passenger side of the vehicle on most makes, so that is why you get cold air on the passenger side. By the time the cold air makes it to the driver’s side, it has picked up a lot of heat, and you feel the difference. I wanted to thank you guys for posting this info.
How does the a / C work on the passenger side?
You have two air mix control dampers; one for the driver’s side and one for the passenger side that are independently controlled and operated by electric servo motors. It sounds like your a/c is operating fine since you get cold air on the passenger side.
Is there cold air coming out of the passenger side?
WOW! part numbers 80321-shj-a02 and 80341-shj-a01. The “low freon” speculation…needs to be investigated. I suspect the cold air coming out of the passenger side is plenty cold, which would not be possible with a freon leak. Before bringing it into the shop, check out the driver’s side air mix motor.

Is the driver side air conditioner the same as the passenger side?
Yes, there is a separate set of coils for the back, but these make no difference on the temperature on the drivers side vs the passenger side. Checked heater valve cable on the engine and the drivers air mix motor. ok. Used HDS and checked for Body/AC DTC’s.
