Those sensor codes are useless. You MUST read them with the engine running and the ACC system operational.

The EC light is on and the compressor is off because the system is in protection mode. If the compressor were to engage with low coolant, the lack of lubrication will destroy it.

Odds are you have either lost your coolant through a leak or your evaporator temperature sensor is bad. The ACC system stores it's own codes in the panel as well as the real-time sensor data. I can't recall the keying sequence...
