AC troubleshooting help

23 is either bad refrigerant pressure switch or bad coolant level.

might help.
I jumpered the compressor clutch to check if it was the pressure switch, no good.
I was lucky, the Schrader type filling valve was defective and a refill fixed it.
You shouldn't have a code 14 as well - can you clear that?

I had the same experience recently as well. Before you attempt a recharge the system should be pressure tested. I was hoping my issue was a simple recharge but unfortunately there was a leak detected as an oil line to the oil cooler had dislodged from its mount and was chafing against the A/C line. Fortunately the A/C line leaked before the oil cooler line. Both were replaced, the system was recharged and it's all good.

Cleared 14, no issues. Not sure what was the reason. The only thing that comes to mind is when I disconnected passenger side airbag a whil back. Could be from a previous owner. 23 unable to clear. Thank you for the link above. Planning to take it to my mechanic hoping he could locate a leak. He doesn't charge much, thinking this is a better idea than trying to jump a low pressure relay.

Picked it up today, AC is recharged and ice cold. Was able to reset code 23. Bad news is no leak was found. My mechanic says next step is to replace a compressor if it stops working again which according to him is $2-$3K. Spending that kind of money for the AC would be painful. Hopping this is not the case, anything I should be doing / looking at in the meantime. Thanks.

Also (at least in my experience) the normal re-fill procedure involves pulling a vacuum first to check system integrity - it is irresponsible to fill a leaking system.
Keep us informed.
