    16C and sunny now. Drove around with AC, and ScanGauge showing AC Watts, it was showing values off and on. It felt ok, I suspect lower ambient are a factor. Sight glass was a little on the bubbly side.

    Maybe all good. Thanks.

    Ah the DW factor:).

    Did she have the system on recirc rather than fresh air? What is “unseasonably” warm for Vancouver and what was the comfortable temp she chose?

    Impressed with your resolve;).

    I would have wrote off the occurrence or tested myself after the escalation (y).

    According to Environment Canada (Canada's equivalent of NWS), it's 11°C/4°C (52°F/40°F))

    Does anyone have a list of the codes and what they mean?
    Mines flashed up 23 and I’m interested to see if it relates to ac as I have an ac issue.
    Thanks

    I have a video of it but it won’t let me upload it as a clip

    I've reattached that AC Diagnostic PDF, expanded to include the code list, missed that the first time. "23" I think means Pressure Sensor Circuit, and there are 8 possible problem areas listed.
