You can always check the freon by using the poor man's method. Unscrew the plastic cap on your low pressure side line (the one right in front of you when you pop the hood). Get a flathead screwdriver and press in the valve and you should have ice cold freon shooting out. Just press it real quick. Make sure you are standing to the side - might want to wear gloves if you are extra cautious.
