Default Unconnected cable under dash id needed

Hello, can someone help me identify that this unconnected cable is under the dash? I'd like to secure it without the cover because it keep hitting my feet when I try to brake.

This is for the Pre-collision Assistant disable switch if GX equipped with Driver Support Package option.

Thanks! And I figured out the cover was installed wrong and won't touch my feet if installed right.

You know what is really weird about these trucks?

How little foot room there is for the driver.

The brake pedal is the size of a paperback book, and is oddly extended into the right half of the footwell, and the the minuscule accelerator pedal is jammed into the right side of the footwell against the transmission tunnel, with literally 4mm clearance on its right side.

I had so little room for my foot that I was getting my shoe stuck underneath the brake pedal when I was trying to brake.

I chopped an inch off the right side of that billboard-like brake pedal and now it can be accessed without feeling like I’m wearing clown shoes.

in the thirty-plus cars and trucks I’ve owned over the years, the GX is the most weirdly configured for this situation.

I have NEVER had to take saws and grinders to a car’s brake pedal before!

Oh, and YES, I have contacted that stupid cover before.

I am not some gargantuan monster of a man - if anything, I am a bit of a manlet with large-ish feet (size 11).

460 had a few size increases over the 470, but its still designed for its home market with smaller people and then just switched over to right hand driver side for most things.

Seriously, it’s like this $65,000 luxury truck was made for people with size 6 feet. It’s weird.

In Japan the average is close to size 7 or 8 US. Most stores max out at size 10 there.

$69k luxury truck and my size 13's have never had a single issue. We do have the updated version of weathertech mats, so maybe that helps? idk

could consider how you place your foot. you can press the pedal with just the shoe end, dont need the entire foot up in there.
