Thruxton Help!!! What's This Plug?

I just had cause to lift the seat on my Thruxton, and noticed this plug sitting there and seemingly doing nothing. I also noticed the little bracket which I've highlighted in the photo, so pushed the plug onto it as it seemed to belong there.

Can someone tell me what the plug is, and if i was right to fit it onto the bracket? I may actually have dislodged it as I was messing about with the USB socket at the time, but I really have no idea if I did or not.

 

Do all of your lights still work with it unplugged?

 

I didn't check - just started the engine and all seemed fine. I'll go and have a look now, though.

 

It’s for diagnostic’s and it just sits on that bracket until you or the dealer needs it

 

Mate!! Thank you

 

Triumph should label the damn thing.

Or, for those with OCD, OBD

 

They do in the handbook

 

That did ltf a whole lotta good . . .

 

Yes, but what self respecting bloke ever reads the handbook or the instructions?? Apparently that's for wimmin, not us rufty tufty fellas!!

 

Or those lucky enough even have the book to read it . . .

 

Actually I was a bit thrown because, on the R9T, it’s a round plug. I do accept that it was a bit muppet-like, though.
