FAQs

How much freon does a Hyundai Sonata hold? ›

A 2012 Hyundai Sonata takes approximately 19.4 ounces of R-134a refrigerant or Freon.

The most common reasons a Hyundai Sonata ac isn't working are a refrigerant leak, an electrical climate control issue, or a problem with the air conditioning compressor.

And considering that both too much and too little refrigerant will make the system not work properly, how much should you add to your system? That's a loaded question. Most cars hold between 28 and 32 ounces of refrigerant (or about 2—3 12oz cans), however larger vehicles and those with rear A/C will likely hold more.

Do not use more than 24 oz. of 134A refrigerant! 1.5 lbs. or 24 oz of R134A is what is required.

The low-pressure gauge should read between 25 and 40 psi (pounds per square inch). The high pressure gauge should read between 225 and 250 psi. You can also use a thermometer on your dashboard vents to test the temperature of the air coming out during a recharge.

There are no gimmicks or additives. Recharge your A/C — Over time, the seals and connections in your vehicle's air conditioning system can allow a small amount of R-134a refrigerant to leak past and escape into the atmosphere. Fill Size: 12 oz.

ESTIMATED WEIGHT OF REFRIGERANT IN LIQUID LINE (POUNDS PER 100 LINEAL FEET OF TUBING). Now, Combine A + B + C to Get Full Weight (aka, System Charge)! Yes, now that you've looked at the Condensor/Compressor, the Piping, and the Evaporator, you can add them all up to get the system charge.

There are two methods of removing refrigerant from a system. The first is to pump all available liquid into an approved refrigerant cylinder using the refrigeration system containing the refrigerant. The second is to use refrigerant recovery equipment commercially manufactured for refrigerant recovery.

What are the symptoms of an undercharged AC system? ›

Hyundai refrigerant filling quantities R134a and 1234yf.

According to PG&E, most central air conditioning systems use two to four pounds of refrigerant per ton of cooling capacity. A three-ton air conditioner would typically have six to 12 pounds of refrigerant for a proper charge.

Yes, the Hyundai Sonata uses R134 refrigerant. The ports are under the hood on the front passenger's side.
