To further confirm it's not a firm issue, I put up 1.60 PCM firm (one-dot-sixty) at...

... Flash 1.60 back into your bad PCM and I bet you will still find that the self-test still reads "Pressure is not full" despite having the PCM not connected to the pressure-switch.

For any given functional PCM : When the pressure switch is not connected, Pressure should read as "Pressure is Full", regardless of all other factors. This is deliberate so an unplugged pressure switch causes compressor to stop.

dumbuya, can you do the same check? Unplug the pressure-switch from the PCM and run the Self-Test to see if the pressure still reads "Pressure is not full".

At any rate dumbuya and WDB, I recommend contacting support@crosstheroadelectronics.com for next steps.
No matter what test setup we did it shows on the self test " Pressure is not full". We found a fix now by swapping a new PCM and it works as intended.
However, I cannot tell you what we find to be the issue other than to say we might have had bad PCM.

One thing I could try is update 1.6 firmware in the old ( "bad") one and see if it is going to respond as intended.

Thanks for your urgent response to the issue.
