Hi located, the topic of the cable of the accounting that you mention is true but in part, I explain:
your car, as well as the Kadett Gsi, Corsa D and Astra D, wears a collector in the gearbox just where the cable of the accounting is inserted, with three cables, red, black and black blue I think.
The fact is that what has started is not the cable of the accounting but the axis of the collector. When this happens, the movement of change does not cross the collector and therefore the cable of the accountckilometers that is threaded behind either.
In the Corsa to diesel and in the Astra F diesel, the sensor was worth disconnecting the motor heater when the 40 km/h in cold surpassed.
In the Kadett G GSI it was the sensor that made the digital picture accounting operate and in your car I do not know what mission it will have exactly, but surely it is not as an ornament.
I leave you the link of a very interesting Opel page to ask you consult and entangle everything you want.
