On the left side, 'P1' will flash and on the right side, a code will be displayed. Press the 'EC' button twice so that the left side flashes 'P2'. Using the right side red temperature increase button, add 16 to the value. Press the 'EC button again to store the updated code. Turn the ignition off.  |
Don't blindly add 16 to the value. If it has been added before, adding 16 again will reset that bit (and have the effect of adding 32).
First break the number down into base 2. Determine if the 16's place has a 1 or a 0. If it has a 0, add 16. Otherwise leave it alone.
The 16's place in the P2 code will not prevent all occurrences of the code for low refrigerant, so the fact that you have the code does not mean that this modification has not been previously done.
