PID: S087, 3
SPN: 1267
FMI: 3
LAMP: Yellow
SRT: 

High voltage detected at the ignition bus relay output circuit (ignition relay positive (+)) when low voltage was expected by the ECM.

Circuit Description

The ignition bus relay controls ignition circuits powering the heating/air conditioning controls and other equipment connected to the ignition bus relay(s)
(optional second relay can be installed for additional accessories). This relay(s) is controlled by ignition relay positive (+) signal from the ECM OEM 50-pin connector pin 35.

Component Location

The ignition bus relay is located under the dash inside the vehicle cab.

Shop Talk

This fault typically indicates a short circuit from the ignition relay positive (+) output of battery voltage. Ignition relay (+) pin outputs 12 VDC to open the ignition bus relay(s) when ICON™ has powered the vehicle down and needs to disconnect power going to the cab circuits. The ignition bus relay(s) is normally closed when no power is applied.
