I haven't seen the 2015 rules, but I wouldn't necessarily draw the conclusion that the PCM will be the only way to run a compressor and pressure switch. My opinion is that it will probably be the only legal way to run 24v solenoids.. The only reason I could think of for the rules to require the PCM for compressor and pressure switch is for ease of inspection.
