My friend has a 2002 civic dx and its overheating when a/c isn't on full blast. Does anyone have an idea why its doing that?

AC fan kicking on?

Yes it is that's why he has to have the a/c on so the car won't overheat.

I missed the isnt. Sounds like your other fan is bad(slow or not moving).

Check the relay, wiring, switch

If the fan works, check the coolant too. If there is more antifrezze then water, it can overheat when it's real hot out.

The radiator fan works fine and i tested the coolant before i made the post so its none of those

check to see if its 50/50 mix and see if the air is bled out of the system

It is 50/50 and yes all the air is bled out.
