Default '04 Civic EX runs hot when AC in use

My ex's 04 Civic is running hot when she uses the AC. Temp is fine otherwise. She checked the coolant and the rad is full when the car is cool and off. Anything I should check to troubleshoot this?

How hot is "hot" .. ? It isn't in the red, is it?

It's not uncommon for the car to run warmer than "normal" when the A/C is maxed-out.


If the high heat is due to overloading (climbing a long, steep hill on a hot day with the A/C running, for example)

Not sure....she called me and she's overly cautious when it comes to these types of things. I told her to turn the heat on and get it home....feel bad for her lol
