Colorado AC Compressor Failure

My 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with a gasoline engine has a refrigerant compressor failure. The AC no longer cools, and the system doesn't switch on at all. I'm also seeing a warning light on the speedometer, and the error memory has a stored error. Is this a common issue?

I had a similar problem with my Colorado. The symptoms sound very familiar. Did you check for refrigerant leaks? A faulty AC compressor could also cause these issues. How many kilometers are on your truck?

I haven't checked for refrigerant leaks specifically. The truck has 203431 km. Is it more likely to be a leak or the compressor itself?

Given the mileage, it could be either, but my issue turned out to be a defective air conditioning control unit, eventually leading to compressor failure. Considering all the symptoms, including the error code and warning light, I'd suggest getting it properly diagnosed by a trusted workshop. It cost me about 980€ to repair.

Thanks for the info. I'll take it to a workshop to get checked. Sounds like the control unit could be the culprit.
