Default Wierd climate control light question

Just starting today when I start my car the lights by the A/C switch and the Recirculate switch blink together for about 10 or 15 seconds and then go to normal. Any idea why this happens and what it means?

It means there is an error in the climate control system, you need to read the codes from OBD socket B1

Well, eleven now

The two lights will blink 20 times to indicate a fault in the system. Could be a bad temp sensor, blend door motor .... as above, need to read the codes.

Today it is not flashing and everything is working fine so I guess what ever caused it cleared.
