What Are Valve Sensors?

Valve sensors are electronic devices that monitor and transmit data about specific systems in your vehicle. Some common types of valve sensors include:

1. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensors
   These sensors track the air pressure in your tyres and alert you if pressure drops below the recommended level.

2. Fuel Pressure Sensors
   These monitor the pressure in the fuel system, ensuring optimal fuel delivery to the engine.

3. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Sensors
   These sensors help regulate emissions by monitoring the flow of exhaust gases back into the engine.

4. Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Sensors
   These sensors manage the engine’s idle speed, ensuring smooth operation when the vehicle is stationary.

Signs of a Defective Valve Sensor

A faulty valve sensor can cause a range of issues, including:

1. Warning Lights on the Dashboard
   If your TPMS, check engine, or other warning lights illuminate, it could indicate a problem with a valve sensor.

2. Poor Fuel Efficiency
   Defective fuel pressure or EGR valve sensors can lead to increased fuel consumption.

3. Unstable Engine Performance
   A faulty IAC valve sensor may cause the engine to idle roughly or stall.

4. Inaccurate Tyre Pressure Readings
   A malfunctioning TPMS sensor may provide incorrect tyre pressure data or fail to alert you to low pressure.

5. Increased Emissions
   A defective EGR valve sensor can cause your vehicle to produce higher emissions, potentially leading to a failed MOT test.
