Warning about topping off with an R-1234yf system with R-134a refrigerant

I’m aware that some DIYers are recharging their R-1234yf systems with our R-134a to save money. R-1234yf refrigerant is much more expensive than R-134a, currently costing about $130 for a 14-oz can of AC Pro (2024 prices).

Even though it is technically possible to add R-134a refrigerant to top off an R-1234yf system using adapter fittings, I do not recommend doing this. Here’s why:

1) It’s illegal to recharge or convert an R-1234yf system with anything other than R-1234yf.

2) R-1234yf systems use a different expansion valve, and many also incorporate an internal heat exchanger. If you top off or convert your R-1234yf system with R-134a, you’ll get an improper flow rate through the expansion valve. That’ll  cause a higher than expected suction line pressure that’ll negatively affect a pressure controlled, variable output compressor. A variable output compressor varies pressure and volume output based on incoming refrigerant pressure. So, you’ll get less cooling than if you had used the correct refrigerant.

3) Many R-1234yf systems control evaporator freeze protection using a pressure sensor. If you top off with R-134a or convert the system to R-134a, the higher pressure setting for the evaportor will cause outlet temperture to be at least 4° warmer than R-1234yf.

4) If you have a dual evaporator system (passenger/driver or front/rear), the incorrect flow rate can cause oil trapping in the second evaporator.

5) Topping off an R-1234yf system with R-134a will also affect the evaportor freeze-up pressure sensor, causing more frequent evaportor freeze-up and reduced airflow

In other words, a top off or conversion with R-134a refrigerant will never work properly on a system designed for R-1234yf refrigerant.

Dodge RAM Pickup Ramcharger Refrigerant Capacity and Refrigerant Oil Type

From 1995 to 2017, Dodge’s refrigerant of choice R-134a. During this time period, Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil was used as the refrigerant oil to lubricate the A/C system components.

In 2018, Dodge transitioned to using the more modern R-1234yf refrigerant. This refrigerant has a lower global warming potential than R-134a and meets the latest environmental regulations. With the switch to R-1234yf, a new refrigerant oil called ND-12 (a type of Polyolester oil) was also introduced.

It’s important to note that these different refrigerants and oils are not compatible with each other. If you need to recharge or service the A/C system in your Dodge Ram, make sure to use the correct refrigerant and oil specified for your vehicle’s year and model. Using the wrong refrigerant or oil can cause damage to the A/C system and lead to costly repairs.

I need to recharge my ac, and just want to verify what refrigerant to use for my 2016 DJ. Is it r134a or this 1234yf stuff that appears to be in every other dodge vehicle now? Couldn’t find anything definitive googling.

if your low then you probally have a leak, and also air inside the lines as well, you might want to have it checked out and fixed by your local garage,that said there should be some stickers somewhere near the compressor saying which to use or call your local dealer...

• jkeaton and OhareFred

The type of refrigerant is listed on an under hood sticker. 

• 2 weeks later...

Ok so I didn’t see any stickers, but everything I’ve found online and in the manual point to the 1234 coolant. I haven’t done anything with that yet, however today I realized my ac compressor clutch is always engaged unless climate and vent are off. I’m fairly certain that started today on my drive home.

 Any thoughts on what to check first? Fuse, relay, switch, humidity sensor or other?

Ok so some weirdness just happened. I noticed that my engine coolant (aka antifreeze) was low so I went to the store and picked some up. When I filled it to where it should be and started the engine, the ac compressor clutch was working as it should. I kinda feel like I’m going insane, but would engine coolant level have anything to do with that? I doubt circulating refrigerant would take much, if any, heat away from the engine.

What does coolant have to do with refrigerant?

They are two separate fluids?

1 minute ago, larryl said: What does coolant have to do with refrigerant? They are two separate fluids?

That is my thought as well, but if you read what I wrote, the ac compressor clutch started functioning as it should when I topped off my engine coolant. I’m just sharing what happened and wondering if anyone has some insight into this. It may just be a weird coincidence, but who knows with the computers running everything in our vehicles now.

just a simple   Coincidence t hat your compressor started working again,the two have no connection together by just being low of coolant, more likely a wire shorting out in the wire loom

Well that’s gonna be fun hunting that down this summer...

Which refrigerant do you need for the air conditioner of your Journey?

Usually, the refrigerant used in automotive air conditioning systems is the R-134a refrigerant. At any rate, you should still check the owner's manual just to make sure.

How do you measure the refrigerant of your Journey?

To check if there is enough refrigerant for your air conditioner, you will have to measure the refrigerant pressure in the air conditioning system. To do so, you will need a particular refrigeration pressure gauge . If you use the R-134a refrigerant, the pressure levels must be the ones stated in the following chart:

You will have to measure these values while the engine is running and the air conditioner is on . A professional should be the one who does this.

If the pressure levels of your Journey are not within this range, you will have to recharge the refrigerant.

What amount of refrigerant do you need for the air conditioner of your Journey?

The air conditioning system differs from car to car. The amount of refrigerant is crucial for the correct functioning of the system, and it is usually around 1 to 1.5 pounds. If you want to know how much refrigerant you need for your car’s system, please read the owner's manual .

Dodge Journey AC not cooling – causes and diagnosis

Driving your Dodge Journey in warmer temperatures with a malfunctioning air conditioning system can quickly become a nuisance when sweltering heat builds up in the cabin. There are several causes for AC not blowing cold air in Journey, which we will go through in this article.

The most common causes for AC not cooling properly in Dodge Journey are low or overcharged refrigerant, compressor malfunction, clogged cabin air filter, dirty condenser or evaporator coils, dirty or sluggish blower motor, and bad fuse or relay. Less common causes are clogged expansion valve or orifice tube, overcharged oil, faulty blend door actuator, or a defect in the climate control unit.

1. Low refrigerant

Insufficient amount of refrigerant in the AC system is one of the leading causes of AC not blowing cold air in Journey. This can happen due to a leak or if the AC has not been recharged for a long time.

Refrigerant leak

A low refrigerant level in your Journey does not necessarily mean there is a leak. Ideally, the refrigerant should never leak in a properly sealed AC system, but most car AC systems do leak small amount of refrigerant over time due to minor imperfections and will need recharging after every few years.

If you don’t service the AC system in your Journey for a long time, the refrigerant level will eventually get so low that the system loses its cooling capacity. Just have it refilled and you can drive with pleasant temperatures again. If the refrigerant level goes down again quickly, it means there is probably a leak.

Refrigerant leak causes

Refrigerant leak in Journey can be caused by leaking O-ring seals, leaking condenser or evaporator core, or a cracked hose. The leak can be diagnosed by injecting small amount of fluorescent dye into the AC system. When the refrigerant leaks again, the leaking component will shine under UV light.

How to recharge AC refrigerant in Dodge Journey

There are two ports in the air conditioning system of Journey. One is labelled H for high-pressure and the other one is labelled L for low-pressure. You can recharge your AC through the low-pressure port with a do it yourself AC recharge kit.

• Open the hood of your Journey.
• Check which type of refrigerant your vehicle uses. This information is typically located under the hood and/or in the owners manual.
• Start the engine.
• Turn on the AC and set it to the coldest setting, and the fan speed to maximum.

• Shake the canister briefly and release the refrigerant into the system until the recommended pressure has been achieved. Note: See next section for recommended pressure values.

Recommended video

Warning: Wear gloves and safety glasses before recharging the AC to avoid accidental exposure to harmful chemicals in the refrigerant. It is also cryogenic and can cause severe frostbite when it comes in contact with the skin.

2. Overcharged refrigerant

Just like with low refrigerant, the AC in Journey will blow warm air only if the AC system is overcharged with refrigerant. An overcharged system not only affects cooling performance but can also damage the compressor and sometimes can cause a major leak.

Ambient temperature affect on refrigerant pressure

The refrigerant pressure is affected by the outside atmospheric temperature. So, even if you recharged your Journey AC at the recommended pressure, the system could still over pressurize when the ambient temperatures get warmer.

Most modern vehicles use R-134a refrigerant, but newer vehicles are increasingly using R-1234yf as a more environmentally friendly replacement. The pressure values based on ambient temperatures differ depending on the type of the refrigerant. Check your vehicle’s owners manual or look under the hood to find the type of the refrigerant your vehicle uses.

Low side pressure values R134a vs R1234yf

Check refrigerant pressure.

Connect the pressure gauge to the low pressure (L) port in Journey. If the pressure is higher than the recommended pressure, let some refrigerant out preferably into a rag to avoid exposure.

3. Clogged cabin air filter

The pollen filter, also known as the cabin air filter or microfilter, is responsible for filtering the air that the passengers breathe in Dodge Journey. A dirty filter causes the overall ventilation of the interior to deteriorate resulting in reduced cooling and air flow. It also puts unnecessary strain on the entire AC system which negatively impacts the fuel consumption.

There is no prescribed time for changing cabin air filter, but most manufacturers recommend a change after 10,000-20,000 miles. If you drive your vehicle in dusty or polluted environment, the filter can get dirty much sooner than manufacturer’s recommendation.

Can you clean a dirty cabin air filter?

Instead of changing the cabin air filter in Journey, it is often recommended to first clean the filter. This can be done, for example, with a vacuum cleaner or a compressed air system, removing at least a large part of the visible dirt particles. Unfortunately, this procedure does not allow you to get into the deeper layers of the filter. Therefore, the filter performance will not increase significantly even after cleaning. As a rule, there is no avoiding a change if the filter is dirty.

Note: Dirty cabin air filter mostly only leads to reduced cooling. If only hot air comes out of the air vents in your Journey, then the problem probably lies somewhere else.

4. Dirty condenser

The air conditioning system in Dodge Journey has a condenser coil that sits at the front of the vehicle, and is responsible for releasing the heat from the refrigerant into the ambient air. Over time, grime, bugs and other small particles can build up on its surface and in the gaps of its mesh. This hinders the condenser’s ability to release heat as less air passes through the mesh, which results in poor cooling in the cabin.

Clean the condenser

If the condenser is dirty on your Journey, the simplest solution is to clean it. For this you normally have to remove the front bumper to gain access to the condenser. You can use pressure washer for cleaning, but make sure its at low pressure setting, as high pressure can damage the delicate fins on the condenser.

5. Dirty evaporator

Dirty evaporator can also significantly reduce AC cooling performance in Journey. The cabin air filter captures most of the dirt or other airborne particles, but some particles escape and can get lodged on to the evaporator. Over time, these particles build up on the fins and block the air flow through the evaporator, causing reduced air flow in the cabin and poor cooling.

Symptoms of a dirty evaporator

The two most prominent symptoms of a clogged up evaporator in Journey are: the air flow from the AC vents is choppy and not smooth, and the inside of the vehicle is developing a bad moldy smell.

Clean the evaporator

Cleaning the evaporator in Journey is not a simple task. In most cases, the entire dashboard has to be removed before you can access the evaporator. Therefore, it is recommended to do this in a workshop.

6. Faulty compressor

The compressor is the heart of the air conditioning system in Dodge Journey. It is not only responsible for pumping the refrigerant throughout the AC system but also converting the refrigerant from gaseous state to liquid state as it passes through the condenser. If the compressor fails, the AC will only blow warm air.

Causes of compressor failure

Insufficient lubricant: The compressor in Journey needs lubrication to function properly and minimize mechanical wear by reducing friction. If there isn’t enough oil added with the refrigerant or to the compressor itself if it was replaced, the internal components of the compressor will wear out and cease to function.

Too much oil: If there is excessive amount of oil added with the refrigerant, it can cause compressor performance issues which reduces cooling efficiency, and can also cause premature compressor failure.

Keep in mind, an AC compressor can fail without any apparent cause, especially in older vehicles or in vehicles that have racked up too many miles. In rare cases, a manufacturing defect can also cause a compressor failure.

7. Overcharged oil

If you are only topping off the refrigerant in your Dodge Journey with off-the-shelf refrigerant recharge cans and not repairing the leak, you may have flooded with AC system with oil since these cans often contains added oil.

The excess oil may pool in various places of the AC system and can coat the inner walls of the evaporator and condenser, diminishing their ability to absorb or dissipate heat, consequently reducing the overall cooling performance. Excessive oil can also reduce the performance of the compressor and can cause it to fail prematurely.

8. Clogged expansion valve or orifice tube

Your vehicle’s air conditioning system has an expansion vale or an orifice tube, depending on the model. The function of both expansion valve and orifice tube is the same, to restrict the flow and reduce pressure of the refrigerant before it enters the evaporator coil. Both of these are at risk of clogging due to contamination, for example due to metal shavings from a failing compressor.

In case of contamination, you may have to flush out the contaminants from the AC system of your Journey, including the condenser and the evaporator, before putting in the new part. In case of severe contamination, multiple components may have to be replaced, including the condenser, the evaporator and the compressor.

9. Dirty blower motor

The blower motor is the central component of the air conditioning system in Journey, responsible for blowing cold air through the AC vents. Although most of the dirt and other particles in the air are filtered by the cabin air filter, but some particles do escape and can cling to the fins of the blower cage. Over time dust can accumulate on the fins and reduce the air flow, which reduces cooling performance.

If too much dirt is caked in the blower fins, it can throw off the balance of the spinning cage and cause it to wobble. This puts strain on the motor and further reduces the air flow and cooling performance, and may also cause unusual noises from behind the dashboard.

Clean the blower motor

Remove the blower motor, typically located under the passenger side dashboard, and inspect the condition of the cage. If found dirty, clean it using a brush.

10. Sluggish blower motor

If the blower motor in your Journey is not spinning fast enough either due to an internal defect or due to a fault in the resistor/control module, the AC cooling performance will be degraded due to reduced air flow.

When a blower motor goes bad, it usually makes unusual noises when in operation, and the passengers may feel reduced air flow from the AC vents. Keep in mind that reduced air flow doesn’t always indicate a problem with the blower motor, as it can also happen due to a clogged cabin air filter, dirty evaporator, or a bad mode door actuator. So, all of them must be inspected when diagnosing poor air flow.

11. Faulty blend door actuator

Blend door actuator plays a role in controlling the temperature inside your Journey. If there is a problem with the temperature of the air conditioning system, it could be due to a bad blend door actuator.

The most common symptom of a faulty blend door actuator in Dodge Journey is a slight clicking sound (or other unusual noise) repeatedly coming from under the dashboard. The sound will be most prominent for a few seconds when you turn on the air conditioning or adjust the temperature.

Symptom: knocking sound

A knocking noise from behind the dashboard could be an indicator of a bad blend door actuator in your Journey. The sound is something like a light tapping on the door and it typically happens when you turn on/off the air conditioning system or start the engine.

Symptom: creaking sound

One side hot, other side cold.

A common symptom of a faulty blend door actuator in vehicles with dual zone climate control system is one side blowing hot air while the other side is blowing cold air.

Replace the faulty part

A bad blend door actuator cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new one. Due to the complexity of the replacement job, it is not recommended as a DIY project. The blend door actuator may require recalibration after replacement.

12. Blown fuse or bad relay

Check all the relevant fuses and relays related to the air-conditioning system in your Journey. Check the owners manual of your vehicle or the fuse box cover to find the exact location of the AC fuses. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one with the specified amp rating.

13. Bad climate control unit

Climate control module is the brain of the air-conditioning system in your Dodge Journey, responsible for controlling all the components in the system. In rare cases, a fault in the climate control unit can cause the AC to stop cooling.

Use OBD2 scanner for diagnosis

Since Dodge Journey is equipped with on-board diagnostics (OBD), a fault diagnosis can provide initial indications of where the malfunction is located in the air conditioning system.

To begin troubleshooting, you must first connect the diagnostic tool to your Journey. The OBDII connector is usually located under the dashboard. With the tool connected, turn on the ignition. Most diagnostic devices then ask for some information about the vehicle. It is important that you enter this 100% correctly, otherwise the result of the search may be inaccurate. In addition to the vehicle make, model, and engine type, you usually also have to type in the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Since some OBD codes are manufacturer-specific, the scanner will be able to give you more accurate information if you enter more details about your Journey.

There are many reasons why your Dodge Journey AC is not cooling properly. When looking for the reason, you should always start with the most obvious cause, insufficient amount of refrigerant.

In any case, it is advisable for laypersons to visit a workshop. A professional mechanic can swiftly diagnose the poor AC cooling issue for you.

Good job. You really combined a lot of helpful elements onto a single page. Especially like the blend door audio clips, and the cabin air filter video. Thank you.

When the air conditioner in your 2009 Dodge Journey starts blowing hot air, you likely have a freon leak. Recharging the freon in your AC system is an inexpensive and easy first step to restoring the cooling capacity of your A/C system. Most refrigerants include a leak sealer that will seal small leaks in addition to filling the R134a freon. The A/C system in your Journey consists of a compressor that is belt-driven, an evaporator and freon. If there is a problem with your compressor or evaporator, adding freon will not restore cooling.

How do you recharge AC in a 2009 Dodge Journey? The low side AC port location is the first thing to find when you are looking for how to put freon in a car. Once you find the 2009 Journey AC low pressure port cap, hook up the can of refrigerant to the low pressure port. When your compressor kicks on, add freon to the correct pressure. In addition to cooling, freon lubricates the compressor when it runs. Typically the AC recharge kit you buy will have enough capacity to add enough freon to get the AC in your Journey to blow cold air.

What type of refrigerant does a 2009 Dodge Journey use? Air conditioning systems can vary so it is critical that you check the sticker in the engine bay to determine your Journey refrigerant type. There is an AC sticker in the engine bay of your 2009 Journey that indicates if it requires R134a refrigerant or the newer R1234YF type to do a recharge. You cannot add R1234YF refrigerant to a R134a system nor can you add R134a refrigerant to a R1234YF system. R134a and R1234YF have different low pressure port types, so you should never use a recharge adapter to add the wrong type of refrigerant. Recharging your Journey with the wrong type of freon can make the AC recharge cost much higher!
