Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Traverse owners report experiencing the "Engine Hot A/C Off" warning message, which is often linked to temperature sensor issues. This warning can be triggered by a malfunctioning thermostat or temperature sensor, potentially leading to engine overheating or false high-temperature readings. Ignoring this warning could result in serious engine damage. To address this issue, owners are advised to check the coolant level, inspect the cooling system for blockages, test the radiator fan and thermostat, verify the functionality of the serpentine belt and water pump, and ensure the engine oil is at the correct level and in good condition. Taking these steps can help resolve the warning and prevent further complications.
