Do I just need a regular OBDII scan tool for this or something else ? As always - thanks for all answers!!!
I am not sure about scanning the PCM; however the system will not run period if there is not enought freon.

UPDATE! Ok , I decided to go out and disconnect positive batt. cable for a few minutes just to clear the computers mind ! When I reconnected the compressor and fans came right on. I went ahead and jumped across low press. switch and proceeded to inject freon . The frozen line began to thaw and I charge her up to about 35 . It was getting cold so I stopped . I've been told that if the lines going into and out of the accumulator are the same temp to the touch then the system is properly charged . Anyone ever heard that one ? I did put a bit of stop leak into the system and suspect I'll have to add some more but it was getting cold . I'll keep you all posted . Thanks for the help !!!

I wouldn't go by the feel of the lines. You should always use a refregerant gauge when adding ref. so that you know you have the correct psi.

I did use gauges . I was just told by an old timer that this is one indication of proper charging . What is the exact low pressure side charge anyway ? Thanks
