Refrigerant System Charge
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION.
After all refrigerant system leaks have been repaired and the refrigerant system has been evacuated, a refrigerant charge can be injected into the system. For the proper amount of the refrigerant charge, refer to the Underhood HVAC Specification Tag. An R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard J2210 must be used to charge the refrigerant system with R-134a refrigerant. See the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE CAPACITY
NOTE: Always refer to the underhood HVAC Specification Tag for the latest fill specification for the vehicle being serviced.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
- Evacuate the refrigerant system .
- A manifold gauge set and a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard J2210 should still be connected to the refrigerant system.
- Measure the proper amount of refrigerant (1.88 lb) and heat it to 52°C (125°F) with the charging station. See the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper use of this equipment.
- Open both the suction and discharge valves, then open the charge valve to allow the heated refrigerant to flow into the system.
- When the transfer of refrigerant has stopped, close both the suction and discharge valves.
- If all of the refrigerant charge did not transfer from the dispensing device, open all of the windows in the vehicle and set the heater-air conditioner controls so that the compressor is engaged and the blower motor is operating at its lowest speed setting. Run the engine at a steady high idle (about 1400 rpm ). If the compressor will not engage, test the compressor clutch control circuit and repair as required.
- Open the suction valve to allow the remaining refrigerant to transfer to the refrigerant system.
WARNING: TAKE CARE NOT TO OPEN THE DISCHARGE (HIGH PRESSURE) VALVE AT THIS TIME.
- Close the suction valve and test the system performance.
- Disconnect the charging station and manifold gauge set from the refrigerant system service ports.
- Reinstall the caps onto the refrigerant system service ports.
- Run the HVAC Control Cooldown test to verify proper operation.

If you are having to add refrigerant, then this means you have a leak, and you will be adding refrigerant again in a few months.

So, my advice is to take it to a professional and have the leak repaired and refrigerant added with the proper equipment, which you do not have.
