Default another air question

I have done some searching this morning and read up on a lot of previous posts. They all seem to have the same problem, cold air for the passanger and warm air for the driver. I am having the opposite problem, cool air for the driver and hot air for the passanger.

Two things. The drivers air is only cool and not cold. The car is also throwing a HVAC code for the right actuator being out of range. Is the refrigerant low since the drivers side is only cool and not cold? Could I be having a problem with the right actuator because the refrigerant is low?

Any ideas on what to check?

Search the forum... The first thing to do is the actuator recalibration which is simple but I don't remember how to do it. Your problem might go away or you might need to tear into it.

Good luck!!

actuator calibration complete. its still throwing the code but its not blowing hot air anymore. still the air seems to be not as cold as it should. when i turn the AC on the light on the button flashes 3 times and then stays solid. does this flashing mean its low on refrigerant?
