I've got a 2016 Freightliner Cascadia and the rear ac does not get cold. This is with the truck running. The truck has an epu (park smart) setup and it's low on refrigerant so it doesn't cool when the truck is off and it's running but I would think that doesn't matter when the truck is running as the truck's ac is being used at that point. But the thing is when I turn the truck off the epu fan on the back of the truck runs for a bit and then stops making me think maybe the rear ac is run by the epu even while the truck is running. Anybody got any ideas on this?
Rear ac not cooling but front's good?

Not necessqrily, ac refrigerant will follow the path of least resistance, so if your rear is blocked or closed more than the front, front will work better
BUT i THINK that the parksmart system has the sleeper cooling exclusively and the front ac is done only with a crompressor from the engine, 2 completely seperate systems. The way to verify this would be tracing ac lines in the front to see if they go to the back at all.
And rereading, you yourself say the parksmart system is low on refrigerant, so theres your answer. 2 seperate systems, so front is unaffected by rear refrigerant low and vice versaarmo, truckdriver31 and joseph1853 Thank this. -

Park smart is what cools the bunk ,for heat it can use park smart or truck engine . When my park smart got low on Freon it kept kicking engine fan due to codes.

Freon is r22, im not aware of any vehicle uses of r22 as its refrigerant, r134a is the standard as far back as 95ishtruckdriver31 and Magoo1968 Thank this. -
