2.5 to 4.0 power steering hose question

[tmd07]

I’m towards the end of swapping my 98 from a 2.5 to 4.0. My question is I noticed my 2.5 high pressure line has a sensor/wiring connector on it. The 4.0 high pressure hose does not have this port. Do I just leave the connector off? I searched the parts diagrams for 1998 TJ and they also show no port on the 4.0 hose.

Just for info: I’m using the correct ECU I sourced from a 98 4.0. So maybe the 4.0 ECU doesn’t need to read the line pressure like the 2.5 does?

Update. I’m not seeing a power steering connector on my 4.0 harness. I may have just answered my own question? Can someone verify this?

The sensor is there on the 2.5 as the PCM detects the pressure change steering at idle causes, and then increases the engine RPM slightly to help lighten the steering. It's not needed on the 4.0.
