Default Low Side A/C PRessure for 03 Accord V6

Would someone be so kind as to tell me what the factory measurement for the low side pressure on the A/C should be for a 2003 Accord V6?

Thank you.

When you're adding some R134a, you measure off low side.

I just wanted a confirmation of the measurement from factory.

Thanks anyways.

17-23 lbs at the end of the compressor cycle. If memory serves me.

Typically anywhere from 15-30 psi on the low side is common on almost any vehicle. A good rule of thumb for high side pressure is about 2 and half times the ambient air temperature. usually anywhere between 180-220 psi should be fine depending on the outside temp.

Do you know how much refrigerant is already in the vehicle??

I do not know how much refrigerant is in at the moment. It was blowing hot than cold on a couple occasions, so I added some R134a and the problem seems to have been fixed.

I'm concerned with making sure I have the right pressure on the low-side. I measure the pressure with the AC on high, is that right?
