V60 AC compressor failure

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with my 2014 Volvo V60 diesel. The air conditioning just stopped working. It blows warm air, and the display is showing an error. I scanned it and there's definitely an error code related to the AC compressor. I've checked the fuses, and they seem fine. Any ideas what could be causing this? The car has 212574 km.

I had a similar problem with my V60. The air conditioning would just randomly cut out. Does it happen constantly, or is it intermittent?

It's constant, unfortunately. It doesn't work at all now. It was working fine one day and then just completely stopped the next. Could it be something like the belt tensioner or a faulty pressure sensor?

In my case, it was the belt tensioner. This undervoltage caused the shut off of the ac compressor. Considering your symptoms, I highly recommend taking it to a qualified workshop for diagnostics and repair to avoid further damage to the HVAC system.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a mechanic, and you were right. It was undervoltage causing the AC compressor to shut off. They replaced the belt tensioner and it cost me 240€. The A/C is working perfectly now.
