08 Chevy Equinox Engine Hot A/C Off
Asked by GuruSYGS8 May 17, 2019 at 05:56 PM about the 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have been having an ongoing issue with my 2008
Chevy Equinox. I will be driving and then all of a
sudden my “Engine Hot A/C Off” light will come on
the dash, my A/C will stop working/turn hot, my
fans will continue to run non stop, and my
temperature hand will go all the way down. This
happens periodically and then it will fix itself. Any
recommendations? Thanks!

Try resseting your fault codes next time I'm having the same issue but I'm changing the pigtail next
DriverXlt, pigtail wiring harness? My 08’ equinox I bought about a week ago. Water pump isn’t leaking, no water in oil, new thermostat, no busted/leaking radiator, heater & a/c work, no codes on the dash other than stabilitrak, new EGR valve, nothing milky but as soon as I drive it it overheats and coolant starts pouring out of the overflow tank. Again, no milky anywhere, no smoke, no stalling or limp mode, have no clue.. my cleans both work and seem to run constantly as well. Any idea? Working on getting a coolant system pressure test for it, until then not driving it as I’m afraid to ruin a head and haven’t allowed it to get all the way hot (as I have had overheating problems with a previous vehicle (not chevy) and know that means no good).
This is EXACTLY what is going on with my 08’ LS , same stabilitrak, new egr, etc. EVERYTHING to a T. Did you get the pressure test yet?

by Breelee165 I have a 2009 Chevy equinox when I first got it I had to replace the head gaskets the serpentine belt and do a transmission flush on it recently I had to replace the EVAP sensor and the temperature coolant sensor and the thermostat worked fine for a month then the temperature coolant sensor blue again so I had it replaced and within 24 hours the temperature sensor blue again I cant figure out what is going on my radiator is not clogged I replaced the coolant lid my fans are running and my temperature gauge is reading zero and the car says engine hot turn AC off so I am at a loss here Im not losing coolant theres no leaks in any of the hoses the water pump is fine I dont know what is causing this sensor to blow. The fans immediately kick on and the gauge is reading 0 . I flushed the coolent every time I had the part replaced. Please help! Im stressed out to the max with this issue. I dont think this has anything to do with it but the second time the coolant temperature sensor went right before that on the same day my back windshield wiper motor was humming really bad because that stopped working 2 months prior so I am plugged the motor to the windshield wiper and that stopped and the next time I started the car that day that second sensor blue now Im on my third one. Its being replaced now
