Its hard to tell what you are circling in that pic, but if you are asking what I think you are, then its the sensor for the airbags or temperature (not sure which)

I'm pretty sure that's the outside air temp sensor. When I installed my oil cooler, which sits right in front of that sensor, I noticed that the temp reading on the trip computer went way up. Thats from the head given off by my oil cooler right at this sensor. On a 100° day, my outside temp gauge will show 130°+
