Plug on harness; ADD 4WD Sensor?

Just took a 95 v6 3.0 out of a 4 runner and put it in my 93 toyota pickup that had the same exact engine in it while it was still alive. There is a plug that comes off the wiring harness at the same place the plug for the oil pressure sensor comes off the harness. It has a green and yellow wire and a green and white wire. What does this plug into?

Seeing there is only one other plug anywhere near the oil pressure sensor..I'd say the plug is for the auto hub set-up that was an option on the pu and 4runners.

My 2wd '95 4Rnr don't have the extra plug you describe on the wiring harness there.

It is for the ADD system. (mistakenly called Auto hubs, which it is NOT)

This is exactly why you always use the original electronics that came in YOUR truck, with the long block only from the donor vehicle.

Oh spare me the details Super Moderator...ADD?...auto hubs? If you throw your transfer case into 4hi..I don't see you getting out to lock anything now do I? Auto hubs.... ADD...the guy will understand.
Most Toyota harnesses whether the 4runner or the pickups will have that plug regardless if it has the ADD system or not....it will be doubled back and taped.

my 2 cents...

Being a mod has nothing to do with it.

Not sure why you are smarting off since there IS a difference between AUTO hubs (84-88) and ADD (89-95) and people often think just because there was an Auto Disconnect Differential (ADD) that means it was auto hubs. Not everyone knows the difference.

So kindly take your two cents and invest them in some schooling for yourself.

I guess we should just give out bad info and call it good, huh?

Your comment is completely unnecessary. If he was "super moderator" he wouldn't have taken the time to explain it so the OP got the right info.

And to the OP, whenever possible, take a pic of the plug/part in question, some folks that don't have the knowledge base of DC will run out to their rigs and can check it fairly quick, and you will get a quick/accurate answer, seeing as bad attitudes like the poster above will push helpful folks like Deathcougar to stop helping.

The last thing we need in this forum is the knowledgeable people to stop helping, then we have the blind leading the blind.

Thank you so much for schooling me sir...your knowledge is so becoming...if you wanted to make sure the guy had the point why didn't you spell out the ADD for him in the first place...and not have him wondering what an ADD was?..you're making a mountain out of nothing here dude.

You so nicely put "NOT" in caps for your response what'd you expect. You want to school me be my guest. I've had Toys since 81' , have built numerous rigs from the ground up and could really care less what you wanna call the front end and hub set-ups on the different generations. The ADD is an automatic shift on the fly front axle with the front wheels continously locked at the hub...an auto setup no matter which way you look at it.

The guys best move would be throw a set of Aisins in it and lockem when wants...and he'll save gas and wear and tear on his front end.

This suggestion when the guy is swapping a 95' 3.0 to a 93' is totally a waste of time and isn't necessary...not one step of it. The 93 3.0 and 95 use the same distributor,knock sensor and oil pressure sending unit, the only possible difference might be at the water inlet at the rear of the intake...if different then swap those between motors.....no need to go pulling an entire harness when it's wires and connectors are over 15yrs old. The ADD wire has been on every 4x4 harness I've come across so far...no matter if its a 4runner or pickup. As long as that vehicle had the option of ADD the plug will be there. I own a 95 with lockouts and guess what?..the plug is there (just double backed and taped) I don't believe Toyota would go thru the expense to delete one wire and create awhole new entire harness...total waste of money.

Schools out..
