Flat Rate Mechanic here and in this video I have a 2010 Honda Civic that the customer was complaining of the AC cutting out when it gets hot. So whatever is able to do is monitor the power actually going to the AC compressor clutch. And when the problem actually occurred there was still power being applied to the AC compressor.

I was actually able to tap on the front of the AC compressor clutch and it would engage indicating that the AC compressor clutch coil is getting weak. And typically they will fail when they get hot because resistance in the electric circuit goes up and the magnetic coil in AC clutch is made up of just a huge winding of copper wire so resistance relative to heat when they start to fail can go up quite a bit.
Thanks for watching the flat rate mechanic be sure to subscribe to my channel hope this video was helpful. Stay greasy my friends.
