I'd recommend having it professionally done if you don't know what you're doing. If you feel confident, then you can purchase a refill (i'm assuming it's R134a!) canister that has a gauge on it. I do believe the can will provide the proper procedure to test the refrigerant level.
Check fuses May need a refrigerant charge Jump ressure switch at the top of the accumulator/drier to see if compressor starts
Check bulbs Check Fuse Check stop light switch
Check fuse Check operation of door switches Check operation of headlight switch
you have a fault code on emission systems
No check , Just drain and add 2.83 qt. ATF in the speedo hole !
Check the shift unlock solenoid. The solenoid is known to go bad and cause this issue in a tracer.
Check with a local hvac contractor for an estimate.
