Stand by for a rant.
First off, "Freon" is R-12 refrigerant which was used in earlier systems, the '96 has R-134A refrigerant. The brand name is irrelevant, it's all the same if the can is labeled R-134A. There is only one way to correctly charge an A/C system and that is to completely evacuate the system and recharge it by weight. Topping off the system with one of those can-with-a-hose setups is iffy, you really need to have a manifold set with gauges to monitor the system pressure. If you insist on using the can/hose setup to add a can or two, the fitting on the charge hose only fits the low side fitting which is used to add refrigerant.

To correctly and legally fill and A/C system. The first step would be to find and repair the leak, then fill by weight.
If it's low, it leaked out. Sometimes to find a leak, I have to add refrigerant and dye. Find the leak. Then recover the refrigerant, because in Wisconsin (and I'm sure any other state) NO ONE can add refrigerant to a system with a leak. |
