Order of inspection

  1. P0534 A/C Refrigerant Charge Loss Low

    The P0534 code means the computer detected that the air conditioning system is low on refrigerant. The compressor is shut off to protect itself, so the A/C stops cooling. There is almost always a leak, and recharging without fixing it only delays the problem.
