Autozone sells kits for about $20 which has a can of refrigerant and a dial to show if there is refrigerant. Not a very accurate dial but good enough to tell you if no refrigerant is your problem.

A/C failure

The problem is not in the compressor, not the pressure (everything its ok). The problem is in the PCM
how and why do you know this? what testing have you done. please outline all of the testing that you have completed to determine that the problem is in the pcm as there is zero history of a/c system troubles because of the pcm ....

The Presure A Measured And Is It Correct, What I Did Was I Feed The Coil From The Relay ( That One That Activated The Clutch), And I Leave It Working 10 Minutes And Start To Cool Down , This Indicates To Me That The Pcm Is Not Activating The Relay , And I Measured In See That Doesn't Send Any Voltaged To The Relay,(i Also Check The Switch And Is Ok, Closest The Circuit Of The Pcm, And The Car Start To Accelerate A Little Bit More) Do You Have Another Way To Diagnostic The Pcm,
Thanks

IF (and that's that's a mighty big IF based on your posts) the PCM inputs are correct but the outputs are not correct, then the PCM is defective.
While the PCM remains a possibility for causing the reported symptom, your posts reflect little to no knowledge of how to troubleshoot an electrical circuit to prove whether or not it is the problem ir if the problem is something else.
The schematic (link posted above) is your roadmap. Follow it.
