QUESTION: 92 Cadillac Fleetwood brougham 5.7

Answer
I get this question about 3 times a week. You CANNOT convert a 1992 Cadillac R-12 system to an R-134 system because the low pressure sensor is NOT calibrated for the R-134 freon. If you try, The check engine light will soon illuminate with a low pressure code and you will have to switch the complete system back to R-12.

As of this date, I have not heard of any FIX or replacement low pressure sensor to be able to convert the system.
