A/C codes

Hi, I have a 99 500 with no AC. I have run diag through the CCU and the BAR is at 8-9. Not sure this is enough. Can't seem to find that answer anywhere. Also codes are:

d1 *A
23 *3
41 *7
41 *9

I have no clue what they are, all the literature give values of 14xx four digit codes. so I am stumped at the moment as I can't find any reference to codes like I have. I have cleared them and they have not come back yet. I did put a new evap sensor in just because I know that is a common issue. All other readings seem normal or reasonable to me such as the inside/outside temp sensors but are as follows.

01 23
02 22
03 26
05 25
07 9
08 40

Anyone have any ideas where to start? I think low in refrigerant but don't want to add if not the issue, I would rather go at it logically. Any help would be really wonderful!

As a side note, the inside temp and outside temp (01 & 02) do not read the same. It is about 28C here today but inside reads 23C in the shop with the top/windows down. Outside reads 28C like the dash display of which is accurate. Would this fault cause AC not to work?

Fair enough, but will the cabin temp sensor cause issues?
