Is the PCM required
We aren't using pneumatics this year, are we still supposed to mount and wire a PCM?

Re: Is the PCM required
No, you shouldn't need a PCM

Re: Is the PCM required
Thank you! It wasn't very clear in the manual.

Re: Is the PCM required
Actually, it is still permissible to have pneumatics actuators and not use the PCM. Spike relays are permissible for both the compressor and pneumatic solenoid valves per R53. I wouldn't advise it, but it is legal.
