Hey man, it more than likely won’t throw a code for that situation. The chances are it’s either one or both of your a/c actuators or your head unit is malfunctioning and needs a rebuild. If it’s the head unit there are several people who rebuild them for a reasonable price but I would check to see if your actuators are working first. Those are quite pricey if you go exactly with what came off of it but there are decent new old stock ones in eBay for reasonable prices. Mine was the drivers side actuator where it was stuck on hot. I could manually rotate the gears to cold but it would stick in it so ended up replacing it and works like a charm

thanks Kenneth
Air blowing out everywhere is symptomatic of loss of vacuum signal. Sadly common, very often due to broken plastic tubing under the battery. As to cold air, you noted you hot wired the compressor, perhaps indicating a lack of refrigerant. Separate problems - and exactly how my car was. I fixed the vacuum switching first, then had to change the compressor.
