Coolzzy

AC was on as indicated on the panel. It was 90 outside and as soon as the car started moving the air got very cold but when stopped, the climate control icon on the touch screen vehicle status window turns off(that shows if the motor is running and other similiar things). When moving, even with the ICE off, the air works fine, it's just when stopped, like AR a light or with the car in park that it does not work. The blower fan stays running the whole time. I'm going by to look at it again today and will see if the radiator fans are working.

Any idea what could cause this behavior? To me it seems like a software issue, but how do you "reset" a hybrid when you cannot easily disconnect the battery? Should the engine fan still be running to draw air through the condenser when the AC is on, or does the electric AC pump function differently? Maybe the cooling fans are not working? The car was low on fuel, 60 miles till empty but I don't think that would make it act this way.

I'm looking at a 13 SEL with 50k miles on it. The air conditioning does not work when the car is stopped (ICE not running). I thought the AC compressor was turned by an electric motor on these cars so it should still be cooling when the motor is off. I set the temp control to LO, but all I get is hot air. When moving, the air gets ice cold and the productivity screen shows the climate control is active. Even when rolling and the ICE off, the climate control still shows active bit as soon as the vehicle stops, so does the climate control (blower keeps going though). What should I be looking at as the culprit? I drove a 15 and it did not behave this way, was there maybe a software update that resolved this on the early model year cars?
