Default Help request: A/C self diagnosis not working

I am requesting help with the A/C self diagnosis mode. It would be great if someone else with an '08 could try this and report back:

1. Turn off car.
2. Set first knob on A/C Panel (fan speed) to AUTO
3. Set second knob on A/C Panel (Flow control) to AUTO
4. Start the engine with the A/C switch pressed.

Watch the lights. According to the service manual, all LEDs should blink eight times. This indicates that SELF-DIAGNOSIS mode is selected.

With my car, the A/C does not seem to be working properly, it does not produce cold air. And when I tried the above procedure, the A/C light blinks 4 times in a row but no other LED's blink.

Any reports of normal operation of this SELF-DIAGNOSIS mode would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Just make an appointment with the dealer... what are you going to do anyways?

A/C related question....I didn't want to make a new thread....

Anyone else notice air still comes through the dash vents when you set the controls to "Defrost" / "Defrost and Feet" / "All Feet"....

Just curious if it was designed that way, or if I need to take it in to get it looked at. I am thinking whatever actuators that divert the flow may not be working correctly.
