it's probably worth checking the state of the cabin filters while clearing the code. They are simple to inspect, two of them located on top of the firewall at the back of the engine bay. You might be able to vacuum them clean, or replace for around $30 a pair on Amazon.com

Plus, lots of videos on youtube to change the microfilters yourself....

Also, remember that there are two types: Active charcoal and simple paper. The charcoal are the best overall option, although you'll get a bit more airflow with the paper types. Stick with the charcoal if you can.
