S90 AC compressor not engaging
Summary of the thread
The A/C compressor on a 2019 Volvo S90 diesel was not engaging, leading to a lack of cooling. The issue was traced to a fault stored in the error memory, with undervoltage identified as a potential cause. It was suggested to check the pressure sensor or relay switch. After a workshop inspection, the problem was confirmed to be undervoltage, and a faulty relay switch was replaced, resolving the issue.

Thanks. Could you explain how undervoltage could cause this? And were the symptoms the same with your car?

Yes, same symptoms. The A/C stopped working completely. With undervoltage, the compressor might not get enough power to engage. I'd suggest having it checked at a workshop.

Thanks for the advice. The workshop confirmed it was undervoltage. The repair, including checking the HVAC system and replacing a faulty relay switch, cost 240€. The A/C is now working.

I had a similar problem with my S90. Have you checked the voltage? Undervoltage can cause the A/C compressor to shut off. Check the pressure sensor or relay switch.
