AC Results from dashboard--

Ok so my "EC" ligh thas been on for a while now, thanx to "Ohlord" went to http://www.eclassbenz.com/acdiag and did the numbers.
Heres what my baby said to me ::

1-78
2-91
3-80
4-80
5-80
6-195
7-00
8-105

Then did the error check and this is what i got:
B-1234---sun sensor on dash is bad
B-1241---coolant is LOW
But what do these mean??

E-FF--?
E-----?

Off the topic ---sensor #24 read 13.8...reason i mention this is because someone has told me to check my charging system ---due to my car not wanting to start sometimes, after i installed a serious system in the car.
So i guess 13.8V is good
Now Im guessing that either the battery is old and drained, or the starter is going bad---i guess we'll see

Compressor is

not running because of low r134a level ,either you need to charge it and try to find the leak with a sniffer or dye or with that much gone it may be time to take it to a shop for leak repair and a full charge plus oil and a new drier.
13.8 volts s fine and you have a 150 amp alternator so how is the sound system wired in and is there an ample fuse in line?
Any good auto electric shop should be able to locate the load that is dragging down the starter.Is it slow to crank?Discuss

ff

is just the end of the error readings,ignore the sun sensor,it is a non sequitur .
Can you turn off the ec light?Any good indie a/c shop should be able to locate a leak pretty fast and get it back in running order.Ask around for ideas on cost.
