2008 Vanden plas - AC blowing warm air
I again need some help, please. My AC is blowing warm air. I bought a can of freon with a gauge to check the pressure on the low side and to charge if required. The low side rating when AC is off is 125PSI, which reduces, and the gauge needle goes into the green range when AC is switched on. This eliminates the following issues, as per my understanding;
1- The system does not need more freon as the low side is within the green range when AC is on
2 - The AC switch is working
3 - The compressor is working because when switched on, the pressure on the low side drops
4 - I have checked the cabin filter, and it is clean
5 - The cooling fan did not kick in as soon as I switched on the AC; however, when the temperature rose to half on the gauge, the fan kicked in. I assume this is normal.
Can someone please advise what else could be wrong?

Suggest also pull codes. Cond fan needs coolant temp sensor signal as well. Var displacement compressor needs related ECM signals to function properly. Also suggest remove plastic trim above grille and check that condenser is clean...
