Default Please help with HVAC Codes

The driver's side air conditioning is not blowing cold while the passenger side is fine. I pulled the codes as suggested (thank you) and came up with the following:

361H (left actuator feedback short to GND)
363H (left actuator open)
441HC - (left actuator out of range)

Does anyone know what the "cure" is for this problem(s)?

Thank you!

Than you for the reply. I tried what you suggested but the Ac is still warm on driver and middle vent while cold on passenger 2 vents.

If so and they come back then it is worth trying this:

Neighbor had a similar issue, the fix was adding a few pounds (cans) of freon. I did not check their DIC for any codes, but the added freon put things back to normal.

If the codes and symptoms come back after the reset you will need to replace the actuator. Been there and done that. The replacement made by Dorman is much less expensive than the GM replacement and so far has been a reliable unit.

You were lucky. That only works if there are no codes and the system is actually low.
