dont think so cause Steve has a GTi and also has this plug.

 

steve does urs have ABS?

mine has the abs,

AND..... when i checked again for the plug earlier today, i couldnt find it 8o

my si deffinately had it, cos i was worried about it being there,

but my gti doesnt seem to have it, and i can't seem to spot one anywhere ?(

id be surprised if it was the abs, seems to be abit out the way up there,

but the only other suggestion we'v got is the headlight washers,

but the wiring diagrams in my haynes manual dont show these on post 95 models.

il have another look around for it tomorrow,

but it could be the abs sensor plug :))

Accessing

 

Engine at normal operating temperature.

Ensure ignition switched OFF.

Bridge data link connector (DLC) terminals 2 and 3 Fig. 1 .

Connect LED test lamp negative connection to DLC terminal 2 Fig. 1 .

Connect LED test lamp positive connection to DLC terminal 1 Fig. 1 .

Switch ignition ON.

Check that LED illuminates.

Trouble codes are displayed after 10-25 seconds Fig. 2 [A].

Note trouble codes. Compare with trouble code table.

Trouble codes are displayed by illuminated LED switching OFF for

approximately 1 second Fig. 2 .

Each trouble code consists of two groups. LED illuminates for

approximately 2 seconds between each group Fig. 2 [C].

 

 

NOTE: Trouble codes ending in '0' are displayed with only 1 group.

 

LED illuminates for approximately 5 seconds between each trouble code

Fig. 2 [D].

For example: Trouble code 24 displayed.

Trouble code(s) are displayed twice.

 

 

hope this helps

The test connector typically has a red plug in it to stop moisture causing corrosion.. just for reference, these three lines are actually present in the diagnostics connector in the passenger footwell too 8)
