My 2001 Camry 4cyl has always had ice cold a/c, and still does. I recently downloaded a ECM Bluetooth app
that shows coolant temp , I was under the assumption that at idle running the a/c also raised the coolant temp, but I'm observing the opposite. it's 90 degrees F outside and if I let the car idle with no a/c it gets up to about 208 and the cooling fan kick on and the coolant temp drops a few degrees within one minute. If I turn the a/c on, it's stays right at 195-196 degrees indefinitely.
This is all at idle in a fully warmed up car.
Just out of curiosity I tried a couple different apps and they are all within 1 degree variance. I googled "coolant temp drops with a/c on" and all I see is the opposite, people with overheating with the a/c on.
Also the a/c stays ice cold at idle, it always has. The best a/c I've ever had. Thoughts?
