OBC readout does not interface with climate control. That is likely a bad or disconnected temp sensor. It is located in the brake cooling duct (right side I think).

AC issue could be electrical, fuses, relays. Or low refrigerant pressure which would trigger the low pressure cutout switch. Low pressure = leak. A quick recharge will get the system back running, if refrigerant charge has been totally lost, the system will require a full evacuation, leak test/repair, recharge.
