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.
