Kubistar AC failure

My 2005 Nissan Kubistar with a gasoline engine A/C just stopped working. It doesn't switch on at all, and it's not cooling. I hooked it up to a code reader, and there's an error stored. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Kubistar. Does it feel like the A/C compressor is just not kicking in? I was pulling my hair out trying to figure it out. Have you checked the pressure sensor or pressure switch on the A/C system? That might be the culprit. Any chance you hear a click when you turn the A/C on?

I'm not hearing any clicking sounds when I turn the A/C on. Where exactly is the pressure sensor located? And is there an easy way to test it? I'm not super mechanically inclined, but I'm willing to give it a shot before taking it to a shop.

No clicking is not a good sign. The pressure sensor is usually somewhere on the A/C lines, often near the condenser. Honestly, messing with the A/C system can be risky, especially if you don't know what you're doing. Given your symptoms, it really does sound like an undervoltage issue affecting the compressor. I ended up taking mine to a workshop. They sorted it out quickly.

I think you're right; I'll take it to a workshop. It was undervoltage, just like you suggested. Cost me 240€ to get it fixed. Appreciate the help!
