Why does my Throttle body have 2 cables going to it?

All of the pictures I see, there is only one cable going to the throttle body. Mine has that one and then one right next to it that goes to a little black box. It is kind of hard to explain. I don't have traction contro BTW.

I'm just curious, I'm sure someone know what I am talking about.

I'm pretty sure that cars that aren't equipped with traction control have the cable for the cruise control, at least I think that's what it's for. I got it too and so does my friend's ws6.

Yeah, I was going to say Cruise Control, but somebody beat me to it. That's still my guess.

If you haven't figured it out by this weekend, send this post TTT on Friday so I'll remember. Our club meeting is Saturday morning (Anyone in Memphis area want to attend? www.wtfba.org ) and I can take a look under everyone's hood to find one with what you've got.
