Right, the EC buttom of course means "Economy", which is what you'd use to leave the compressor off. The EC light being on and not going off is a fail-safe by the ACC, sort of like being forced in to leaving the compressor off. So actually it's a "good" sign that the system is OK and yes the usuall problem is lowe on refrigerant charge.
