Digital I/O putting out +5V when robot disabled

Our technical mentor and rookies were trying out code to put our compressor on a toggle (joystick button). it is plugged into a digital i/o and not a relay port. But when we first power up the robot, and our teleop is still disabled, we are getting +5 to the Spike which is powering the compressor. We do not have the pressure switch wired. Can anyone explain why the digital i/o is doing this when the robot is disabled, and what we can do to fix it?
