    Just got a 2019 SR5 Tacoma and was poking around, anyone know what this extra plug is for, looks like it has a dummy connection plugged in to it probably to keep it from rusting or something.

    TLDR It's a relay for the pre-collision system.

    I usually assume it's for diagnostic reasons.

    Thought it might be for a feature that I just didn't get that was pre-wired or something.

    That's where the Racing module plugs in on the Toyota Racing Development (TRD) models. Adds 200 HP.
