Automotive sensor with service component authenticity detection

An apparatus, comprising:

• an automotive system configured to operably connect to a service component;
• a sensor module comprising:
• an electrical connection,
• a sensor body,
• a sensing element structured to sense a characteristic associated with the service component when the service component is operably connected to the automotive system, and
• an antenna located at one of the electrical connection or the sensory body, the antenna structured to communicate service component tag information of a tag associated with the service component to a close-range communication reader;
• and
• a monitoring system comprising a processing circuit communicatively coupled to the sensor module via the electrical connection, the processing circuit comprising a processor and memory, the memory comprising instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processing circuit to receive the service component tag information from the sensor module.
