Method and system for determining reliability of a pressure sensor

A system comprising:

• a sensing component comprising:
• a flexible membrane, and
• a Wheatstone bridge circuit;
• and
• a sensor controller configured to:
• monitor, based on iteratively biasing terminals of the Wheatstone bridge circuit with a voltage supply and a ground, a first resistance value of a first resistor of the Wheatstone bridge circuit and a second resistance value of a second resistor of the Wheatstone bridge circuit;
• determine, based on a difference between the first resistance value and the second resistance value, a status of the flexible membrane,
• wherein the status indicates that a measurement from the sensing component is unreliable based on the difference between the first resistance value and the second resistance value satisfying a threshold;
• and
• perform, based on determining that the status is unreliable, an action associated with the sensing component,
• wherein, when performing the action, the sensor controller is configured to:
• increase a frequency associated with determining the difference between the first resistance value and the second resistance value.
