More than likely, you have a failed actuator for the rh blend door, or it overtraveled and defaulted to full cold.
If you press info up, and on/off to enter diagnostics, you can access the codes for the ACM. Info button will scroll and the on/off will execute commands.

Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
