Default Sensor above DIC buttons

My 02 has a little round sensor, I believe above the DIC buttons. What does that sensor do?

I was told it's the driver side temp sensor... there is another one in the (arch) above the pass air bag.

The driver's side temp sensor is that little grill to the left of the ignition switch. I'm talking about the little round circle right above the DIC buttons, not on the dash itself.
