Default Ingnition ecu wires help


hello everyone,
Yesterday I was looking at the wiring diagram of my erst2 and I noticed that from the ignition ecu starts two wire that are called: KNOCK THRESHOLD ADJUSTMENT and LOW OCTANE ADJUSTMENT (pin 11 and 23)
for curiosity I went to see on the loom of the car and I saw that these two wires are cut.
does anyone know if this is normal or must be connected to something?

Could you use a early model ecu which I believe didn't use a knock sensor?
