J1939 code SPN 2634. Below — how the fault is worded at the factory by KAMAZ, MAZ and YaMZ, and what the second half of the code (FMI) means in the standard.
| FMI 3 | Main relay 1: short circuit to battery / to ground |
| FMI 4 | Main relay 1: short circuit to battery / to ground |
| FMI 3 | Main relay 1 circuit fault - Short to battery positive. Blink code: 1-3-2. Repair: Check the harnesses. |
| FMI 4 | Main relay 1 circuit fault - Short to ground. Blink code: 1-3-2. The engine will not start. Repair: Check the harnesses. |

Safe to drive. Below — how much time you have and what happens if you keep going.
The electrical system is not holding voltage. While the engine runs the alternator carries it; shut it off and you may not restart.
Next the lights go, then modules start dropping out and false codes appear all over the truck. Get to somewhere with help without shutting the engine down.
Check the battery terminals and earth strap — corrosion and loose clamps throw false codes all over the truck. Running voltage should be 27–29 V.
Scanner threw several codes at once? Paste the whole list — we will show which one is the root cause and which ones simply followed.
