Air Conditioning not working correctly
Had a 2016 V6S convertible since March of this year. Low mileage. New batteries and cooling system upgrades at purchase time. Everything was working perfectly since I bought it. Love driving the car. This car is out of warranty and I don't have an extended warranty.
90% of my drives are with the top down. I leave the AC on auto. Recently I noticed the AC wasn't blowing cold. Playing round, I can get it to blow cold if I set it to "Lo". So I don't think it's low on refrigerant. I believe it's also not working when it should be blowing warm. I also notice that my ambient temperature on the dash seems to be reading much higher than the actual temperature, even during a longer ride where I would expect it to read correctly.
I 'm guessing it's some kind of a sensor. I did search the forums here already, but not much exists. I am a causal wrench. But I don't have an OBDI tool. Any suggestions, or do I just fold and make a dealer visit and pay for the diagnostic? Glad to me a member of the group. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this is your problem but behind the right side of the steering wheel on the dash there is an oval grate. Behind that grate from what I understand is a temperature sensor. I would look into that. Hope it helps but I haven't figured out much about the AC system.
