1997 cadillac seville. Message.. Compressor off.. and very low refrigerant level.. I refilled refrigerant...-message will not reset-compressor will not come on. How can I reset Computer?

I had the same problem, Just disconnect the battery power for 8 seconds, this will reset the computer, then reconnect the battery this should get the message to erase and your AC should work. This worked for me on a 96 SLS. Adam Quiroz

If a 1995 Eldorado displays low refrigerant how do you reset the computer for the AC to work?
is it low on freon? I have a 96, but all you need to do is trick the computer. To do that you need to disconnect (+) and (-) cables to battery. This will trick the computer to start the compressor. If you are low, it is possible that you will need to add about 3lbs of coolant into your car. !
What is wrong when your 1999 Nissan sentra's idle jumps constantly when the ac is on The ac clutch also constantly clicks on and off and the refrigerant is at the proper level?
When the AC compressor turns on, the computer turns up the idle speed so that the engine doesn't die from the extra load. If it's cycling quite a bit, you're low on refrigerant. It's tested with a gauge. If the pressure is low at the low side sensor, the compressor will cycle like you're describing. The good news is, adding a little 134A refrigerant is quite easy. For less than the price of having a shop charge your AC for you, you can buy the refrigerant, gauge and fill assembly.
96 Honda accord no power to the ac compressor. no fuses blown refrigerant full light on dash not flashing. can jump the compressor and it runs fine. ive been told its the computer. can you help?
If you can jump it, it is most likely to be in the normal wire running to it. Check the wire running to a union clipped to the fan shroud. That's where my problem was.
95 Seville does the dash message center have to be cleared code reset to restart the compressor after adding freon Message center says low refrigerant compressor off?

1996 Cadillac Eldorado...If msg reads AC low on refrigerant and AC compressor reads off will both problems be fixed by adding refrigerant?
...it fixed the issue on my 1995 ElDorado, BUT you must disconnect the battery for a little while to reset the computer to allow you to add Freon to the system. I had a leak and it fixed it for about 6 months. Both warnings went away until the system got low again.
Do you reset computer in trailblazer after fixing compressor?
you shouldn't need to unless it set a check engine light for some reason. if it was just a compressor change for, say, the compressor locked up then no. hope this helps.
What is needed to install an air compressor to vehicle?
two people and an aircompresser and a computer
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot a ac compresser that is not getting power its a 1989?
get a hanes manual the ac relay is on the drivers side fender next to the windshield washer tank, its on the same plate as the fuel pump relay, try that More information If there is not enough refrigerant the "computer" will not turn on the compressor. Also the sensor (pressure switch) can be faulty and keep the system turned off. Do the this switch on the dryer, disconnect the wire from it and place a jumper in it. If the compressor works now then you have a loss of refrigerant or a faulty switch. There is also an ambient sensor located behind the grill and there is also a fuse in the fuse box. If none of this works out then get yourself a good manual.
Can you drive a car without an air compressor?
If you mean an AC - air conditioner compressor, definitely yes. Assuming that the drive belt is not an issue and the cars computer will allow it to senses the disconnection. You could if it was an air conditioner compressor but it would be hot!
1991 dodge spirit when charging the ac one of the relays gets tripped and shuts the car off where can you find this relay or is it the compressor computer etc?
Quote from the Autozone website... When the engine is under a heavy load, the air conditioning compressor is shut off by the computer. A bad TPS can shut off an air conditioning compressor. Also, on computer controlled cars, the key should be turned on before depressing the throttle or the computer can receive a faulty TPS reading and the car might not start.
What does the computer do in a 1999 chrysler sebring?
The engine computer controls the fuel and ignition systems, along with the ac compressor, alternator, and cruise control. The transmission computer controls the transmission. The abs computer does abs brakes. The airbag computer controls the airbag. Etc.
What is the most reasonable unit to measure the capacity of a refrigerator?
Capacity - Using the Compressor to Find the Amount of CoolingImagine the system is running with the key pressures and temperatures are being recorded at set intervals, say 15 seconds. Each set of readings transmits enough information to enable the computer to plot the cycle on the P-h diagram. The compressor efficiency and COP of the process at each time interval is calculated by the computer. To find out how much cooling is being done, the mass flow rate of the refrigerant is needed. The term Capacity is used to denote the quantity of cooling. Other terminology includes Heat Extraction Rate, or Cooling Effect. It is measured in kW (Btu/hr in the old days).Installation of a refrigerant flow meter would be an obvious method to find the mass flow rate, but this is costly, and intrusive. The compressor can be used as a flow meter. If the volume pumping rate of the compressor is known this will enable the mass flow rate to be found simply from the density of the fluid at the compressor inlet condition 2. Most compressors have a defined displacement (or swept volume), but the volumetric efficiency may not be known. Indeed loss of pumping by the compressor may be the object of the investigation. However there is one input which can be measured with good accuracy and at reasonable cost without disturbing the refrigeration system. This is the electrical power input to the compressor.www.skinb5.com
