Left rear? I believe it is the charcoal canister, which absorbs/stores gasoline fumes from the tank and feeds them to the engine while you drive, to reduce evaporative emissions.

My non-ABS Vibe has a rectangular box to the left of the muffler. I'll check for hose connections to the tank in support of my charcoal canister theory.

ABS module is under the hood by the washer fluid tank.

Thanks MadBill, I think your reply seems to be the most relevant. As I don't have an ABS system, I don't think GM would put an empty black box for nothing.Thanks for everyone's input... I appreciate it!JF

You are correct MadBill, as has been confirmed by the service manual.
