Default What is this?

So when I had my seat off this morning I saw this Delphi component sitting on top of my battery. What is it?

On top of the battery? Mine is under the right side cover. I see that it does look like the ECM, but to me the location is wrong.

Do you have ABS brakes on your scoot?

Not trying to split hairs but ECM = ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (though yes it is electronic)
