If clutch on compressor is clicking on and off there is not enough freon in system. System is full when clutch is staying on not clicking on and off.

Also check to make sure your cooling fans are working when the A/C is on. I mean the fans on your radiator, not the inside fans.

The compressor will cycle on and off normally. Low refrigerant gas will NOT cause that. It's not supposed to run ALL the time.

everyone says to much freon or to little. Does anyone know how much freon and oil go in a 2012 camry LE 2.5l. ??? The car I am working on was hit and has no stickers? If both!! gauges are reading 100 low and high. Most say its the compressor. Not in my case. I put one in. My cost $500.00 plus oil and freon. Still no cooling. You DO NOT have to rip the dash apart like all the videos on internet. It changes out from the fire wall. Thank u toyota. TY

2012 HAS A DIRECT DRIVE COMPRESSOR SO YOU WONT HEAR ANY CLICK FROM THE CLUTCH THE SYSTEM USES A VALVE IN THE REAR OF THE COMPRESSOR TO REGUALATE FREON ....GOOD LUCK

I am having trouble with my 2012 Toyota Camry ac to put new compressor and expansion valve recharged the system with the right amount of 134 and I can make it kick on if you put a magnet on the flow sensor after it comes on as long as you don’t turn it off it will run anyone have any ideas
