The display says "service AC system. I checked the owners manual and it said " sensors that control the AC/heat system needs service. I tried to put freon in the compressor and I cannot keep the auto on so the Ac works, its goes back "econ", therefore I cant get the freon to take. What sensors are needing to be replaced and where are they located.

If it is seeing low refrigerant, it will default to econ for compressor protection. To do this correctly, You should have the system diagnosed/recovered to determine the state of charge. It could be one of two things, it is actually low on refrigerant or, it has a faulty pressure/temp sensor falsely reporting a low refrigerant charge. The same low refrigerant code could set in either case.
