Default Black Box Under RX300

Anyone ever figure out what the black box is for under neath '99-'03 RX300's just the left of the muffler? You can see it when your stopped behind an RX300. Thanks.

Just guessing here, but I think I may have seen something in my manual indicating the location you describe as where the charcoal canister is located.
