Thank you for holding Lawrence!
If the vehicle is only heating up or overheating when the AC is being used this indicates that the AC condenser or the radiator fins are bent over or damaged. The AC condenser sits in front of the radiator. If there are any bent fins they would need to be straightened out using a tool like the one in the link below. If there is any debris in front of the AC condenser or between the radiator and condenser then the debris has to be removed.
If the fins are o.k. and there is no debris, then this indicates that the engine cooling fan(s) is not operating properly. The cooling fan system will need to be tested to identify the issue causing the fan fault and from there it can then be repaired to resolve this issue. This will involve electrical testing as well as having the fault codes checked with a fully compatible high-end scan tool to identify which fan component has to be replaced.
