    This wiring by the gas pedal has been disconnected ever since I bought the truck months back. I’m not sure what it’s for or if it should be plugged in somewhere...any guidance would be appreciated. 8CB5EFC5-A77A-4333-BA8F-DD53DB3A51F6.jpg

    That wire is ONLY for MANUAL TRANSMISSION.
    On MT trucks, the E-brake is a pull handle you grab with your right hand and pull straight back towards you. When it is released, it presses against a switch that is mounted just above the gas pedal. That wire goes to the switch.

    Ok thanks. Seems odd Toyota would just leave it there in plain view for automatic transmissions as well. Maybe it was hidden originally and fell down into view over time. Either way, just glad it’s not an issue. Thanks again for the info.

    What would happen if you were to give it 12 volts? Or simply complete the circuit?

    All that switch does is provide a ground for the "Parking Brake" Signal (PKB) to the Skid Control and Body ECU's.

    Never mind I see that info was already provided...

    If you apply 12 volts, then you will smoke your wiring when you ground it at the OTHER e-brake switch.
    If you apply ground, it will think that your e-brake is *always on*.

    Anyone have trouble getting the actual plug off the pedal? Looks like it has a protective covering?

    this plug has given me a hell of a time..
