IMHO: I doubt they want to put that much current through the PCM, and the display graphic should probably have shown the Compressor connector going into a Spike Relay, which is then connected to the Compressor (like they show the motors).
No connecting the compressor to the pneumatics control module directly is how it is designed to work, makes it cheaper and easier than the previous system with the spike.
