Question Why is this green plug not connected?

Does anyone know what this plug/connector is for and why it's disconnected?

It's supposed to be disconnected. If you connect it the ECU goes into diagnostic mode.

Also used when flashing your ECU with an AP.

I connected it while I was installing my stereo. I thought I disconnected it somehow. When I turned on the car, I almost had a heart attack! lights blinking, fan turning on and off! Don't do it!
