The Daihatsu Move engine produces 63 H.P. An AC compressor can require 3-5 H.P. to operate. So, if you ask the engine to drive a component that robs H.P. from powering the vehicle, there will be a loss of power. The reason ECO light turns off when the AC is turned on is because the engine is using more fuel. Tester ---

I had to look it up, but for the record a Daihatsu Move is a small minivan. ![move](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/d/dc45cbe5bcb88df17c08fb556964d680421a0cfb.jpg) 63 H.P. in a small minivan is going to be anemic even without AC. Add an AC compressor and it’ll be even more anemic.
