    2009 Prius. This connector is behind the windshield washer fluid reservoir and left of the brake fluid level sensor. The wires are severed at both ends. I can't find much reference to it. The only thing I could find is (maybe) a diagram that calls it S2 and S3 "Short Connector".

    That would probably explain why I have a code regarding the brake master stroke simulator. Now I just need to find where the other 2 wires are that I need to connect back together. Thank you!

    What you would do here is go to a junk car sitting at a tow lot and cut that connector off with wires coming out of it aplenty if you will put some butt connectors or however you do your joinery from the wiring that you just cut with the plug to your car which is severed by animals or whatever should be no problem You do need the connection to be there if you don't have a junkyard and you can't get to it I may have one here so on and so forth whatever it takes

    What do the brakes feel like on this car?
