just bite the bullet and have a tech fix it... i don't know about your area, but try to check if there is a training environment in your area... they might be able to fix it for MUCH less than any other shop would... there may even be a toyota t-ten program in your area...


the reason i bring that up is because i am in the t-ten program in my area...

That would make sense. The Yaris AC system does have a pressure sensor, which is used to detect high (>455 PSI) or low (<28 PSI) pressure on the high pressure side of the system.

I have a recharge kit that has a gauge on it, which is really the only safe way to recharge one yourself. The recharge kit with the gauge was only about $10 more than one without.

The correct charge for the Yaris (measured on the low pressure side, where you charge it) is 0.15 to 0.25 MPa, which equals 22 to 36 PSI.

i would hope that that psi range is when the a/c is operating... not a static pressure...

Correct (and good point). Automotive AC is always checked/charged with the engine running, transmission in neutral, and AC on.

<------------ currently in the toyota t-ten training program if that makes more sense...

Cool. Which program are you doing (one year, two year, associates, etc.)?

[silver_echo]

two year... starting brakes/susp next week for summer quarter...
