Module on negative battery cable, 2006 Yukon

[mattt]

I've seen these a few times and wondered; "what is this?" It's on the negative battery cable on an 06 Yukon that I harvested the E-fan harness and relay/fuse block from recently. My 04 Tahoe does not have this.
Thanks

Weird! It is supplying ground to something... But, what the heck is it?!
Where does the harness with the small wires connect on the other end?

Any part numbers visible on the label?

It's the EPM (Electric Power Management) system

Thanks for helping me lear something new! Would that cable be best left with the Yukon donor, if the Tahoe never had that capability? I would think he wouldn't be able to use it on the Tahoe, right?

Thank you! I never knew the later year 800's had something like this.

I didn't think they did either. Thought it started in 2007

If it was late in production season, maybe they transitioned to the new thing early.
Is the factory sticker still in the door with production date?

I'll check if or when I go back to the yard with this Yukon.

Just doing a quick Google-fu shows that the system (EPM and RVC) started with 2005 model year
