What should low side and high side pressure be?
What should low side and high side pressure be?
Low side pressure should be 35 psi, high side around 150 psi. Engine off, both sides will equalize to around 70 psi. [quote=”Timothy S” post=166739]So do you have 150 psi without operating the compressor?
What should the PSI be on an A / C system?
An A/C System that is working properly should have 150 PSI on the high side and 30 PSI on the low side.
What should the pressure be on the low side of the AC?
The pressure reading from the low side should be between 25 and 30 psi and the high side between 200 and 250 psi. But if you see the AC low side high, high side low, such as the low side is 100 and the high side is 150, there might be problems with any of the inner components.
What does 400psi mean on an air conditioner?
Expecting 400psi means it is approx 200 degrees where you live. If the low side is truly zero, then you need to research how to properly fill an empty system. If that haynes manually actually says it needs to be 400psi on the high side, throw that book away and get a better manual. You do not fill based on pressures.

Where is the low side high side low pressure switch?
The switch is located near the expansion valve. Use an Ohmmeter to find if it is giving the correct reading. Also, check if the compressor clutch engages and rotates the compressor when the AC is on. Similarly, the fan also has to spin when you turn the system on.
