AC issue sounds like a problem with duovalve. The ABS/ETC light could be the brake light switch. There is a different light for brakes needing replacement.

Do a search and you'll find lots of good info on both.

While you are driving around with Raymonds CCU diagnostic screens running, also pay attention to screen 24 too. Low voltage can cause both ABS and ETC to light up.

Hissing noises from the center vent, and warmer air on the left than right is oftentimes indicitive of a system that is low on freon.

If you search on here you'll find instructions for replacing the brake light. You drop the panel under the steering wheel and it snaps in and out.
