EnergyPlus DOAS Water Cooling Coil Sizing Error

I'm having an issue with EnergyPlus 9.6. I added a DOAS to my model, but my model fails to complete the sizing of the cooling coil of the DOAS unit. The sequence of my setup for the DOAS is (OA - heating coil - cooling coil - fan).

For some reason the [Coil inlet air temperature used for sizing = -997.59 [C]], and I tried everything I can to fix it.

I tried to change (Design Inlet/Outlet Air Temperature) from (autosize) to fixed temperatures, but for some reason I still see the same error.

Here is the full list of errors I'm seeing:
