Default what is this??? pics

was installing an LT4 KM, and noticed this little box wired up to the blue/white and red wire out of the pcm. I looked online and couldnt find anything that looked like the box, it's an SLP box with a red and blue wire, nothing else. car is a 96 Formula, 4l60E

Im not sure what it is, but wire nuts are not for automotive applications.

One way to get an idea is to find a wiring schematic and see what those wires go to.

For all we know, the installer could've known how to give your car TCS with that module. While it would take SOME brains to do, he kind of killed any compliments I"d give him, if he did give the car TCS, by using the wire nuts lol

When you tromp it down from a stop, does it roach the tires?
