The EC code means your Firestone wireless compressor, like part # F2610, has ran for over 4 minutes and needs to shut off. If your air bags aren't filling up then this means you either have a leak in the system somewhere or the pressure sensor is messed up.

I recommend filling up a spray bottle with soapy water and spraying down the air bags and air lines while the compressor is running to see if anything starts bubbling. If you see bubbles that means you've found the leak that needs to be fixed.

I don't seem to have any elites, John. It'll get to whatever set pressure but then the punk wont shut off. I wonder if it's one of the pressure sensors

@Benjamin It could be a sensor too. Before digging too far into the system though, I do recommend removing power from the compressor for a minute and then giving it power again. We recently had the Firestone guys out to do a compressor installation and he had to do that because they tried using the phone app and a controller on a newer compressor kit at the same time and the compressor started bugging out. Once he removed and replaced the power everything was factory reset and started working properly again.
