came from the battery

it is possible someone has replaced the original vented type battery with a sealed battery, If so you no longer need it

Time for an AGM. That tube and small elbow means you have a conventional lead acid bomb in there. Your choice of course.

I just yanked that thing out yesterday and threw it on the floor.

Finally got an Odyssey and can't see ever going back.
