Could use some help here please!
Ok all I have life!!! First a big " THANK YOU" to all your suggestions! This is what I did, I should of mentioned that I had installed those Johnson Rods on the lr3 8 to 10 months before my compressor crapped out, so as suggested I removed each tire to inspect the lifting height sensors to see if anything like an arm or wire was broken and while the tires were removed I exercised each arm and replaced the previous stock rubber OEM rods from the Johnson Rods, also put the old relay back in and started it up, boom! Life from the compressor and it started to raise up! The lift from standard to off road takes longer but it is working after a quick spin. I have the cover, lower, off the compressor so I can hear it more than normal until I cover it back up, does the compressor always stay on or iam I just hearing that because it's not currently enclosed yet? Do you think the Johnson Rods perhaps didn't allow the air compressor to fill the shock air bags by allowing the air block values to each shock to open because of the unrecognized level of the system until I replaced them with the old ones and somehow by moving the height arms up and down I satisfied something to allow air to pass? Anyhow for now it seems to be working thanks again all!
Someone with rods will have to confirm, but on most vehicles I worked on with EAS they will fault out if a sensor is WAY out of spec. With the rods installed AND being on the bumps, I would think they would read well beyond the perimeters and indeed cause a fault. But I do not know for sure.
The compressor should not run all the time. In fact, after a while it will fault out if it does. Generally its job is JUST to fill the reservoir. The stop is just like a shop compressor. And if that reservoir doe not fill as expected (not quick enough) you get a code. If the compressor heats up too much. Code. And if it runs too long, code.
Since you are back up in height, you could probably put the rods back on. But I myself am a bog fan of doing the lift via software. I raised mine about 2 inches by simply recalibrating the system. So thats something to think about. At least you are back up and running. Although you probably spend money that you did not need to. Cars are like computers, if you have issues removed the accessories first to see if they cause an issue.

Got here too late but YEP! I have rods. If I lower to the bump stops the sensors are out of range and that's exactly what you will get.
I have the GAP tool so I just manually inflate the corners back up to get within range and then it is business as usual.
OP, hoping you got a good compressor? I hear horror stories about the cheaper knock-offs.

...what do you mean by "if I lower to the bump stops?"
Do you mean Access Height? ...because you can't choose to lower to the bump stops. It's a fault condition. If we are talking Access, you shouldn't be getting an out-of-range error. Why do you run rods if you have an IIDTool, anyway?

I run rods because the GAP didn’t quite get me much lift.
