Default Unknown pigtail on wiring harness

I have an unknown connector on the wiring harness that comes from the right side of my C5 near where the outside air temp sensor is. I don’t see any obvious locations where it may have been connected. I have ABS and Service Traction System warnings displayed on the cluster. Does anyone have any ideas about where it went?

No I have an aftermarket hood. Do you happen to have a pic of the connector shape?

That looks just like the harness I'm trying to figure out on my C5. It is attached the some metal cooler lines next to the steering rack. The red and black wires were cut and I can't figure out what they went to.

Here’s a picture of the Under hood light connector. It’s in the area you’re referring to:

Thanks guys. I’m getting TVs codes c1221H, c1242H, c1283H and some random ldcm and rdcm codes. I’m pretty sure the door control module codes will clear themselves out eventually. The TCS codes are left , right wheel sensors and I think the yaw sensor code. The ECBM pic that you posted, is that a connector on bottom of it? I don’t remember ever seeing one there. I’m
