Whats this plug for?

[edals]

Hi Guys,

I Have seen this spare plug around my brake booster for quite sometime, and thought one day it will be mentioned what it is. But since i have not come across it after 2 years thought i would ask. Here is a pic. Can i do anything with it? what is it?

[anarklov3r]

got a closer picture of the plug for us? From that far away and small almost looks like a relay...

[edals]

No Not right now, Cars out in the street and im in bed lol. Thought it would be enough but if no one knows ill grab a new pic tomorrow. Its not a relay i dont think, its just a open female plug.

hopefully someone has some knowledge as to what this is for
thanks in advance for anyone with help

Here we go guys

I Have not seen this on any other Car

[karlos]

Hmm,not sure.Could it be for the traction control system?

I dont have traction control and have this plug also.

[slepar]

its not for traction control, i had the exact same plug on my s/c v6 wh stato and that had traction control. im also interested as to what its for, anyone know?

[accentstencil]

I have the plug too but it is connected to a plug in the main loom so I have no idea where it goes to. I suppose if I disconnect it I would find out what it does but I am reluctant to do so.

Go On, Unplug it lol. Just a Thought maybe for electronic Climate control ? I Have Just the standard.

I tried to unplug it but couldn't, there was no obvious way to unclip it and I didn't want to force it.

With the Help of Boonz The Holden Mechanic on JC. His reply.

dont actually know whats its really for, BUT i know i can use it to test the communication lines between modules :P so its got something to do with the low speed communication lines between the BCM and ECU and ABS module

ill have a better look at a wiring diagram tommorow when im at work

Cheers Buddy :-)
