Vehicle shown in this step: 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 2.4L 4 Cyl.
Procedure notes
When the air conditioner in your 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe 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 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe? 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 2020 Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe to blow cold air.
