#232 Refrigerant Pressure Sensor

96 C280
My AC takes half hour to kick in, but it works. I ran diagnostics on and got #232 "Refrigerant Pressure Sensor'.

Is this something I can replace or clean w/o refilling the system with freon?

you may have some bad seals in the lines that code tells me theres an issue with the pressure in other words it might not be holding freon this is my opinion i have a regular mechanic for this type of stuff but i do all my own research and search for everything

It has plenty of freon, no leaks.

??? = which part?

Once the AC kicks in, it works like a charm.
