Good evening
The most common cause for this is the programmer for the AC. It is the box behind the glove box that has the rod coming out that moves the door for air flow.
Can you hear or see it moving when you command defrost and floor?

OK, good chance the programmer is not commanding the door positions to change.

So the programmer is going bad. Will disconnecting the battery to reboot help?

No, there is no such thing as a reboot.
Removing the battery cable will have no effect on this issue.

They are not codes.
When you hold the off and warmer buttons at the same time, it will go into diagnostic mode.
The codes with start with the letter E and then numbers. When that is completed it will list F and then numbers.
When that is complete then it will display 7.0.

They are not codes. Did they appear right after putting it into diagnostics?
This may be the programmer sending bad info. With the replacement, it should show the correct format.
