This is a device quite similar to your ABS sensors, in that it senses the rotation of, in this case, your crankshaft. Occasionally they'll go bad, but it's not a high-rate failure item that I know of.
The signal it generates tells the engine that a.) it's running, and b.) how fast. It's also responsible for the slight bouncing of your tachometer when you're cranking the car over. As far as I know, they either work or they don't, and when they don't work, your car also does not work. I don't know if these things give off any indicators when failure is imminent?
