[s-cars] RE: Outside Temp Sensor -- Q: purpose other than dash display?

[CyberPoet]

Having read Thompson's question about the outside temp display being at
minimum (-40 degrees) incorrectly led me to wonder whether that outside
temp sensor is used by the engine's information system for any reason,
such as intake air temp/mass calculations in conjunction with the
intake plumbing electronics (as verses to being used strictly for the
dash display)?

Anyone know?
