Change Over Valve vacuum line..

Hey folks.
During some routine maintenance I noticed a vacuum line hanging (uncapped) from one of the infamous COV's.
It is the one located at the far right in the engine bay, which I believe is for a heater (not sure).
I have attached a picture (courtesy of iambon) which shows the part in question.
Shouldn't all these lines be capped?
Can anyone tell me where the line should attach.
Thanks in advance

Resolved.
It is the water tube control and runs underneath the water hoses into a Y piece.
It looks like over time the rubber Y piece (#24) expanded due to heat and the tube #39 just popped out (in addition to not having enough slack).
Of course no errors or fault codes.

Apparently not.
I did notice my fans coming on a lot more lately, but other than that there's been nothing out of the ordinary.
No error messages but will keep monitoring.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does the thing control, when to supply additional cooling?
