    did you find the toggle switch that is underneath the engine cover? And is it in the on position?

    So I had my APU serviced yesterday along with the truck, got to the truck stop this afternoon, went to flip it on, and got the en9 code. Went outside reset the fuse block, nothing, then went out to flip the toggle switch from on to off and back on again, and when I touched the box it was very hot. Tried resetting all switches and nothing. Any thoughts as to why it would be so hot? And why the en9 code?

    The En9 code means the run circuit is dead while the run relay is energized, normally because the reset switch is tripped. The reset switch trips because of one of two things: low oil pressure or high coolant temperature.

    The En9 code will stay on even after the reset switch is reset until the controller is turned off and back on.

    Normally, the mechanic will turn off the toggle switch to service the unit, then you have to flip it back on, then reset the reset switch, then turn the controller off then back on. That should clear the En9 code, allowing the engine to start when the run relay is energized.
