Step-by-step guide on how to recharge the AC system in your 2016 Chevy Silverado. If you've noticed that your AC isn't blowing as cold as it used to, or if it's not working at all, it's likely that your AC system needs a recharge. Fortunately, this is a relatively simple DIY task that you can complete in just a few hours with the right tools and materials.
Before we get started, here's a list of the tools and materials you'll need for this project:
AC recharge kit (with gauge and hose)
Safety glasses
Gloves
A/C system UV dye
UV light
Rags or towels
Now that you have everything you need, let's get started!
Step 1: Prepare Your Vehicle - 0:40
The first step is to prepare your vehicle for the AC recharge process. Park your Silverado on a flat surface and turn off the engine. Pop open the hood and locate the low-pressure AC service port. It's usually located on the passenger side near the firewall. Remove the cap from the port and set it aside.
Step 2: Attach the Recharge Hose - 2:00
Next, attach the recharge hose to the low-pressure service port. Make sure that the gauge on the hose is in the "off" position before attaching it to the port. Then, attach the other end of the hose to the canister of refrigerant.
Step 3: Add Refrigerant - 3:20
Now it's time to add the refrigerant to your AC system. Start the engine and turn on the AC to the maximum cool setting. Then, open the valve on the recharge hose to release the refrigerant into the system. Keep an eye on the gauge to make sure that you're adding the correct amount of refrigerant. Most AC recharge kits come with instructions on how much refrigerant to add, based on the size of your vehicle's AC system.
Step 4: Check for Leaks
After you've added the refrigerant, it's important to check for leaks in your AC system. This is where the UV dye comes in handy. Add a small amount of the dye to the AC system and run the engine for a few minutes with the AC on. Then, use the UV light to inspect the AC system for any leaks. If you spot a leak, you'll need to fix it before proceeding with the recharge process.
Step 5: Check the AC System Performance - 4:20
Finally, it's time to check the performance of your AC system. Allow the engine to run for a few minutes with the AC on, and then use a thermometer to measure the air temperature coming from the vents. If the air is cold and refreshing, then you've successfully recharged your AC system! If not, you may need to repeat the recharge process or seek professional help to diagnose the issue.

    Just an fyi, if it starts blowing warm/hot again, check the weld points on the right side of the condenser (if facing the truck). You should be able to see them through the grill, but these trucks are known to fail at one of those points and leak. Ask me how I know.

      Yeah, it was a power steering assist failure.

    @sarahpollock8153 Před měsícem

    I took my sierra in to the dealership because I've been having issues with my transmission temp sensor. I just got a diagnosis (no code was reading). When I finally got my truck back 4 days later, it was about 30° out (celsius), turned my AC on which had been working amazing. Suddenly it's blowing hot air. I refuse to take it back to the dealership. I know an honest mechanic that charges $90CAD/hr (typically $175+) but I just can't justify spending that amount on getting this new issue diagnosed, then fixed. I'm gonna try to recharge it on my own. I thought maybe the dealership saw me as a "dumb girl", trying to get me back in to spend more $, so I figured they just unplugged something. I'll take a look around now that I have a better idea of where my AC is located. I'm hoping it just needs a recharge! Thanks for making this video. I've been searching the last 2 days trying to find any info I can. This video has been helpful!

    I just replaced the condenser so the system is completely dry, do I need to vacuum the system and such? I know you didn't use one, but in other videos it shows them pulling the pressure out of it with the gauges and such. TRUST me I would rather do it this way, I just don't want to mess anything up! Please anyone let me know is I can simply do it this way or do I need to buy the compressor with the hoses and gauges. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! Have a wonderful day!

    • @Robert_Cain
      @Robert_Cain Před měsícem

      Yes, you absolutely want to vacuum the system. 2-3 hours should be fine but I know people that run it over night just to be sure. You just don’t want any moisture or contamination in there. It’s really easy to miss this, 10 months later end up with a crack over corrosion that you left in there.

  • @mattbarnett5858
    @mattbarnett5858 Před měsícem

    Thanks for confirming the low port. Why put it in a nice convenient spot like the high pressure one? Is your condenser cracked? Mine is and that's why I'm recharging. Apparently a class action law suit against GM for the issue. If you haven't checked, take a look up at the pinch welds on the condenser - should be able to see through the grill. You can see a spot on mine where there's discoloration from oil leaking. I'm recharging to bandaid this before digging in to the condenser. Thanks for the vid!

    • @Robert_Cain
      @Robert_Cain Před měsícem

      I’ve seen some guys fix that with the 1234yf w/sealer. It really just depends on the size of the crack(s).

      Once you turn your ac system on the pressure will go down ( my guess in the 20’s). Remember, you’re charging the system while it’s running and fully functioning.

    • @Robert_Cain
      @Robert_Cain Před měsícem

      What you're seeing is likely the static pressure in the system. This is normal and doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. To get an accurate reading of your AC system's pressure, you need to: - Start the engine - Turn the AC on to maximum cooling - Set the fan to the highest setting - Let the system run for a few minutes

    While it was informative, there’s a little missing information here. Not everyone attempting will need a full can. Over charging is easily done and just as bad as no refrigerant and will result in warm air. You may of noticed when he opened the valve the needle was burried in the red. I recommend adding it slowly and shutting the valve periodically to get an accurate level reading instead of opening and let sit.
