Default Error b2112 - Accessory Output Shorted High

I've been searching, both here and Google. I can't seem to find an answer as to what this even means.


The other, after fueling, getting ready to hit the road for a ride, my engine failed to start. I was in 1st gear with the clutch pulled in. The fuel pump buzzed, but it wouldn't crank. I tried in neutral and it fired right up. No issues on the ride either. (About 50 miles).


When I got home I checked the error code and I got b2112. I looked it up and it means "Accessory Output Shorted High" but I don't have a clue as to where to even start looking.


Besides suddenly being unable to start while in gear, it's fine. I'm also not sure how to clear the code to see if it returns, which I'm sure it will.


2011 Softail. Not sure if it's relevant or not, but, about 2 weeks ago the bike fell over on the left side. The engine cut itself off, I would have but my pant leg was stuck to the heel shifter and I didn't get to it before it died. The shifter has since been removed.


Any ideas would be great, a solution would be awesome.
