That means there is codes stored in the A/C system.
You can pull the codes from B1 to see what they are.

Those might be bad all the way now causing the lights to flash all the time.

Up by your Oh S**t handles there is a plastic cover(square with a round hole)
That is the sensors under there. They are actually mounted under the headliner. You can try to carefully blow some compressed air in there to clean them and see what happens.

Since I took my headliner out of Yellow I always have the sensor codes.

These cars never cease to amaze me in the amount of engineering that was put into them.
