Where is the low side pressure?
The low side service valve is located in the line that runs from the compressor through the evaporator (firewall) and up to the condensor on the low pressure (suction) side of the system.
What should low side pressure be on Honda Accord?
Not sure how reliable it is but it read 32 PSI; ambient temp was 85F with ~50% humidity. I know high side pressures are needed to get the full picture. I read around and some say 35 PSI is where Accord’s should lie on a high heat load 90F day. Any A/C experts in the house that can comment on the ideal PSI range?
What should my a / C pressure be on the low side?
Between 125 and 185psi on the high side 35psi to 55psi on the low side. Hold close manifold gauge to check for psi loss while running compressor a/c. Gauge will drop and rise based on temp and cycle setting but not below range. If it drops below range, you might have a leaking seal or valve probably a bad evaporator or dryer.
Why does my Honda Accord have a low range?
If it drops below range, you might have a leaking seal or valve probably a bad evaporator or dryer. While you’re at it just have a mechanic drain and recharge. Having an accurate amount of refrigerant in the vehicle is important and theres no way to know without vacuuming and refilling.

What kind of gas does a Honda Accord use?
Fuel (gal.) *SULEV-rated vehicles include zero evaporative emissions and are CARB-certified as partial Zero-Emission Vehicles. Available on select LX and EX 4-cylinder models with AT in CA and parts of the Northeast. **Based on 2004 EPA mileage estimates. Use for comparison purposes only. Actual mileage may vary.
