Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
dude listen to me. The compressor doesn't function as "on" and "off". If you are throwing that code (and you can confirm the code with DIS to be sure - I even know the number of the code in the EHCII module) - You have a compressor that is "weak" or slowly degenerated to be "out of spec" and when it works a bit harder than usual it will throw that code and error.

The EHC module reads the pressure being generated and held in the accumulator (reservoir), if the compressor isn't able to pump air in the accumulator fast enough because its running like its a former smoker, the code will be thrown, even though the compressor is sending air in there, it is not doing it fast enough per the spec that the EHC module has saved in its memory. Once the spec is far enough out, the code is thrown and the error appears.

Fix the compressor, for $50 for the repair kit it is worth it to do.

The compressor can function perfectly fine and it will continue to do so but if it is throwing that code, over time it will throw it more and eventually it will just stay on, it is a gradual thing. Fix it.
