Where Does This Plug Go??

2006 HHR LT Stick Shift

Oil change this morning.
On way back noticed the yellow engine block (OBD II) light on, steady.
Oil pressure, engine temp ok.

Check under bonnet back at work & find a plug sitting loose.
Hanging down by the oil dipstick.

Trying to figure where it goes.

Its female, with a black housing & 5 wire 'in a row' pin receptacles in a lilac molding with a green band in behind.
From the rear with the locking clip on top, left to right, the wires are:
Yellow, black/white stripe, Pink/black stripe, Light brown, light brown.

Looking into the engine bay from directly in front of the car at the middle, the plug is at the end of about 10" of wire that branches off a fatter wire loom that runs up to the RHS area of the air filter molding from down by the oil dipstick.
The wire for this plug branches off about 8 to 10" above the dipstick handle.

Have had a quick look & can't find the male reciprocal of this plug -

Would appreciate it if someone can ID where it goes & orient me to the male plug location using the top of the dipstick as a reference point.
Thank you

picture might help. One thing I've tried before...extend the wire to it's max (don't pull real hard) and see how far it will extend in a circle. The plug will be in that radius. Typically, the wire will lay to one side. Good bet that is the side the plug is on. Simple way to find it.

Followed that in Google & apparently the MAP plug is under the front center of the black plastic air filter cover unit.
& you get the yellow engine light if you don't reconnect it.
Will check that tonight.
Thanks

That's the one.... I guess technically it's a MAF sensor (pressure, flow, whatever)...... It's just as you describe and right in that area.

That looks like it according to the description...wonder why they'd disconnect that for an oil change? Did they change your air filter too?
