First of all, lets get the nomenclature right. It is a PDWA, Pressure 
Differential Warning Actuator.  It is not a valve.  I stress this because many 
people 
mistakenly believe it will shut off the hydraulic pressure to the bad brake 
circuit.  It does not.  The only thing this does is detect a pressure 
differential between the two sides and light the warning light on the dash.

As such, as Andy said, as long as it doesn't leak, it has no effect on the 
hydraulic system.  It is just a sensor.
