How do I do a 2018 Honda Accord AC recharge?
The AC recently went out on my 2018 Accord. After doing some research, I determined that it probably just needs a recharge, and most websites recommend doing it yourself to save cash. How can I do an AC recharge on my 2018 Honda Accord?

Doing an AC recharge on an Accord yourself can probably save you between $50 and $100 in labor costs, and it’s surprisingly easy. To do a 2018 Honda Accord AC recharge, just follow these steps:
- Purchase a can of refrigerant. The type you need is listed in your owner’s manual, and unless you have a hybrid, it’s the R1234YF type. Models prior to 2018 use R134, so make sure you buy the right one.
- Pop the hood.
- Start the vehicle and turn the air conditioner on full blast.
- Find the low-pressure service valve, which is located on the left side of the engine compartment.
- Attach the can of refrigerant.
- Monitor the pressure gauge and continue to let the flow of refrigerant go until it reaches the optimal range as stated in the instructions on the refrigerant can.
- Detach the hose, close the hood, and you’re done!
While you’re taking a minute to learn how to recharge the AC on your vehicle, why not take a few minutes more to save on your
